Only shot we have at them is if we ping pong into top 4.
Seems like the top players are clearly delineated in this draft class:
Fultz, Ball, Jackson, Tatum, Fox, Monk and maybe Smith and Isaac in their own tier. Markannen and a few others in the next tier(Nkitilina, Allen, Bridges, Williams?).
Unfortunately we will likely just miss out on the top 8 tier. There was one scout quoted as saying its a 9 deep draft. Ask 30 teams and maybe half agree on #9? According to their team needs too of course.
One of the above 8 could easily slip as obviously it only takes one team(Kings, Hornets) to fall in love with a surprise. It could be that the guy we really like is rated 15th overall and we reach for him at 10. But seems like it'd behoove this franchise to find a way to get a top 8 pick. Those seem to be the guys who have all-star or franchise player potential based upon physical traits combined with current skill.
