mikal bridges and moreso devonte graham don't belong in the first round. markannen is way too high and bacon is a bit high/overrated to me as well. I don't think patton will go that high. zach collins could be a sleeper as well if he decides to come out. i love swanigan and like bryant, but i don't think either of them make it first round.

I'm a huge fan of Mikal Bridges, I wanted to put him higher actually.

Graham is first round because of how his game will translate, he is one of the more NBA ready guys in this class, and his ceiling isn't as limited as other older guys. The only PG I have over him that didn't make the mock is Kobi Simmons.

Grayson's defensive issue is the fact he can't laterally guard NBA athletes. He's a junior that's not likely improving once he gets to the league. Look at how he struggled with Josh Jackson.

He could be a bit higher but he's a second round prospect imo. Which is around where str8up rated him.

eh not many people can guard JJ and i don't think it was grayson guarding him much that game

interesting thoughts on bridges, but i don't see it. same for graham as i feel he's masquerading as a PG. simmons is one of my favorite players in the nation and would take him over a lot of guys both at PG and SG.

Dennis is my number one, but there's not really any spot that works except for Orlando, who think Payton is their point guard of the future. Check the spoilers for more info on the selections, I go a little more in depth.

I think Orlando would take DSJ if he's still left

I dont think their THAT committed to Payton that they'd pass on the bpa. You'd hope not anyway if you're a Magic fan lol

I see Graham becoming a Patrick Beverley type guy.

I could also see DSJ going higher if the Suns trade Bledsoe but that's a big if

I just heard about the talks of the Magic looking into Reggie Jackson, they might be higher on Tatum.

Read hennigan is high on the three PG's and Jackson. They need a PG imo. Dennis should be their target.

He's going to do something dumb trying to save his job. Reggie Jackson will be the nail in the coffin for him.

eh, i guess could see that. still don't think he's worth a first round pick, even at the end.
Most mocks don't even have him drafted I believe. I think he is pretty good though, but he's the 2nd best PG on his team.

Draftexpress guys really like him fwiw.

draftexpress is legit, but those guys love themselves/pat themselves on the back too much. and seemm to have agendas against certain players more than nbadraft. johnathan givony comes off as a dikk alot of the time.
