At this time, they are 19 and 20. It really doesn't make too much sense to see them as defensive anchors. We just need to take the best talent period.

I agree, role with Bagley and figure out how he and Collins will mesh later. But Porter Jr. does intrigue me

Pretty much every mock draft I read predicts the top three as Ayton, Doncic, and Bagley. I think the real question now is what we do with 19 and 30.

Just saw a scouting report on JJJ, he looks like a shorter version of Porzingis? What do you think his ceiling is, perineal All Star; fringe AS, or franchise player?

I see some Giannis with him. He moves sooo smoothly for someone his size, and he's really skilled offensively. Then there is his shooting ability. He looks like he's going to be a good shotblocker and a defensive difference maker too. He isn't some plodding big man. I think he's an ideal modern NBA 5. He's has a chance of being a legit two-way NBA player, and I'm almost tempted to put him at #1 above Ayton. He's still raw in some ways and has a lot of room to grow, but love this kid.

Nice video breakdowns on Jackson and Bagley.
Not going to lie, I’m leaning towards Jackson. I can see him functioning better in a high level team. Dude is the youngest player in the draft too.

I see Marvin. Uncoordinated. Weak core. Great hip function but weak base. Mindset is more of a do everything to help the team win which is excellent but lacks that dog. Doesn't really have that much talent. Doesn't really do much in terms of creating for himself.
Bamba is the Giannis prospect to me in this draft. I see JJJ as Marvin retread
You guys dont realize how much I hate the idea of Jaren. Hes gonna flop in the situation we have in Atlanta. You will want him to be a superstar and at best, he will be a role player and not a intangibles superstar like Horford but one like Marvin. I wouldn't touch him unless we move up to get him after drafting Bagley
It really doesn't matter to me. We have time to figure out the fit. I just want to solve the PG issue after drafting Bagley.I agree, role with Bagley and figure out how he and Collins will mesh later. But Porter Jr. does intrigue me
Is it me but is there a split between Senlenk and the rest of the organization on Bagley. Most within have him even higher than Doncic. Senlenk doesn't rate him as highly as others. Could you see something like what happened with Magic Johnson happening with Travis where the organization is constantly trying to convince one guy that this is the guy. For LA, it was Ball. Magic liked Josh Jackson and Fox more but he found his voice alone when promoting the idea of passing on Ball. Of course, he finally came around on Ball and it was the best decision on the board in my opinion for LA.

I don’t think any of these dudes are going to be superstars honestly. All these dudes have flaws. Maybe Bagley has more defensive ability than he’s shown. That is one of my main concerns with him.
All 19 years old have major flaws. All of them. Jordan, LeBron, Kobe, T-Mac. Dont tell me you think one of these guys will win MVP next year cause they won't.
Anthony Davis had some major flaws. Injury prone. Size, was 221 when drafted by NO. Could he be a #1 option was a question many scouts had.
All of these guys are flawed and they always have been.
