1
76ers
PF – 6-10 – LSU – Simmons would give the Sixers an elite play-maker. He’d join a young and talented front court while seeing minutes at PG as well. A unique player with superstar potential but the type of player that only works with the right pieces around him.
Magic/Draymond
2Lakers*SF – 6-9 – Duke – A sweet shooter with great length but a skinny frame, Ingram is a nice fit on the wing in L.A. He brings unique scoring ability and a versatile game to Luke Walton’s team.
Paul George/KD
3
Celtics*
PG – 6-3 – Providence – Big time talent who can lock it up on D and has explosive offensive ability. Dunn could join a crowded backcourt in Boston or look for this pick to be traded.
longer Eric Bledsoe
4SunsPF – 6-10 – Washington – A natural talent with great hops and a smooth jumper. Rising up draft boards after strong workouts. Would fit well in the young Suns line up.
Markieff/Blake

T-Wolves*
Jamal MurrayPG – 6-5 – Kentucky – Combo guard who would give the Wolves the best shooter in the draft to help space the floor for KAT. Murray is limited as a defender but has big time scoring ability.
Deron Williams/C.J.
6
Pelicans
Dragan BenderPF – 7-0 – Croatia – Agile big man with a nice perimeter game and exceptional length. Has unique passing ability for a 7-footer and can fill it up from outside. Bender could space the floor for AD.

Harrison Barnes
8
Kings
SG – 6-5 – Oklahoma – A dead-eye three point shooter who can really stretch the defense. Would help space the floor for Boogie but could be a bust like past Kings SGs.
KCP/Brad Beal
9
Raptors*
PF – 7-0 – Kentucky – Highly skilled big man who has a ton of upside but is still figuring out how to put it all together. This would be a swing for the fences type of pick for the Raptors.

Willie Burton/Mo Pete
