Why would Atlanta pass up Bamba? That seems to me the only team that stands in the way of him reaching 5.

Agreed. Let's hope they love Trea Young or JJJ.

I just can't see J3 going before Bamba in any scenario.

I believe in Trae Young myself and it wouldn't surprise me if hes a stud.

Appearantly their scouting department love Bagley (as the YouTube Dime Dude) and their GM loves Trae as next Curry.

They need scoring more than defense. They could always move Collins to center or re-sign Dedmon...

Ayton
Doncic
Bagley
Porter

Is my hope for the Draft order

See I wouldnt bet Collins is ready if I'm Atl. I would love to have Bamba and Collins together and I'm not so sure Bamba isnt going to provide scoring.

I would love for Doncic to surprisingly fall to 5. Also hard to feel bad for the leftover of Bamba or Porter.

Yeah, Sac could shake things up by taking Bagley.
Hell, I'm wondering if they might take Porter or Bamba the way they are rising.

That would be great and my hope too but I'm not sure Atlanta would want Bagley with Collins and Memphis might be sick of dealing with injuries and may not want to risk it with Porter.

I still think our choice will be between Porter and JJJ.

Yea very good chance of that, and at least that's a easy choice for me.

Bagley does make some sense for Sac as he would be a nice fit with WCS but I don't see Doncic getting past Memphis.
I suppose there is a decent chance Sac could take Bagley and Atlanta take Doncic leaving Bamba, Porter and JJJ for Memphis.
In that scenario Porter would be their best choice imo if they are still in win-now mode.
