Assuming health and adequate growth by the young players I think that team can challenge GS

The passing with Simmons and LBJ, two transcendent/generational forward passers :picard:

Embiid the new age Hakeem :picard:

Redikk a knock down shooter :ehh:

Fultz a big scoring guard :wow:

Ben and Embiid been recruiting and LeBron was an A.I. stan growing up

2018 NBA mock draft - Michael Porter, Marvin Bagley, Luka Doncic and more
by on 2017-08-19 08:10:00 UTC

The 2018 NBA draft got an extra boost of star power with Marvin Bagley's reclassification on Monday. But Bagley is just one of seven players with a legitimate shot to be the next No. 1 pick.

Here's our debut 2018 mock draft, featuring picks for both rounds.


The ESPN Summer Forecast was used to project draft order.

1. Chicago Bulls
Michael Porter
Missouri
Freshman
SF/PF



Porter's size, shot-creation skill and scoring instincts will make him a coveted prospect next June. He's a playmaker on both ends of the floor who is just starting to figure out how to put his talent to full use. NBA scouts will want to see him lead Missouri to the NCAA tournament while playing efficient basketball on both ends of the floor.



4. Phoenix Suns
Luka Doncic
Real Madrid
Age:
18
SG
Doncic posted historic numbers in the Euroleague, Spanish ACB for a 17-year old, thanks to an incredibly high basketball IQ and polished skill set that allows him to play both backcourt positions. He will now be asked to take his game to the next level, as he's finally NBA draft-eligible, which won't be an easy task. Scouts wonder if he's athletic enough to guard his position and create his own shot quite as seamlessly in the NBA as he does in Europe.

:stopitslime:Come now, yall got these mixed up

Luka is the definition of a bulls type of guy, his exactly what bulls look for in a player, Skill over athleticism, then add in his a white euro baller:mjlol:
I wouldn't be surprise if dude become a bull next yr..

@Brozay likes him for us over Porter, Ayton and Bamba :hubie:

I respect his ball opinion but I'm gonna respectfully disagree with him :francis:

I mean it's early breh, things will change. Bamba and Ayton don't excite me. Porter JR has a long way to go showing he can create his own shot imo. I just happen to think Doncic is the better player right now, that will likely change.

I think Doncic has a lower ceiling due to his athleticism

I think now that Bagley is in the draft >>>>> over everyone else to me until proven otherwise.

I think even if Porter isn't able to create his own shot he'll find a way to get buckets regardless using his size and athleticism. Bamba's defensive potential excites me.
Ayton :ld:

Doncic to me is a good value pick outside of the top 5 that will be able to contribute immediately, but he's not a franchise cornerstone in the making.

But yes it is early and those are early opinions. Best case scenario for me we get Bagley and Barrett in consecutive seasons.
