If Doncic is gone by 5 you’re looking at the newest Dallas Maverick.

Yep. It's looking like Doncic or Bamba at 5 with Porter as an outside chance. Those draftexpress guys know their stuff too. According to them, it's looking like...

Ayton
Bagley
JJJ

Which means Memphis picks either Doncic or Porter. Don't see Memphis passing up on Doncic.

I would really love to get that 4 pick and end up with both Bamba and Doncic.

That's a great dream come true, but we should be happy with just Bamba.

I’m actually going to be happy with any of the top 5 guys. I really think whoever they take at 5 is going to fit well with this team. My least favorite though is MPJ. His injury history makes him too big of a risk in my opinion.

Both true... but all of this is setting me up for the J3 letdown.

IMO J3 (great nickname btw) would not be a letdown. His game really reminds me a lot of Anthony Davis (check out some YT vids, he really has a well rounded game with underrated offensive skill). I wouldn't be surprised if he's the best player from this draft 4 years down the road.

This may be true. It just doesnt have the same feel as having another Euro star Doncic or the super long and intelligent Bamba.

He might be. Dude got benched During the NCAA tournament. He's definitely going to take time to develop, but the good thing is he is super young.

I would be delighted.

Not in the NBA and already his first career block.

Is that because he thinks he’s going top 3? Just curious why he wants no part of Memphis.

Doesn't make any sense with Gasol there -- neither of them can play the 4.

Yeah that was my thinking. Idk I would want to meet with all top teams just to get a feel for each team.

Sit on the bench behind Gasol?

If he wants no part of Memphis it's because he thinks he's going to the Mavericks at 5.

I feel like Dallas would take Carter Jr over Bamba.
