Obviously Flagg is the real prize but if we don’t luck out and get No. 1 who do you like next?

Harper fits the need for sure. So I’d be fine with him.

Edgecomb would be my next pick.

I really don’t want Bailey. Way too many red flags for me. Honestly he reminds of a worst passing BI.

I think after Edgecomb I like the foreign guy from Illinois.

I want nothing to do with the Duke C or the 3 point shooter.

Queen is interesting but he’s not a rim protector.

Really hope we get top 2.

Depends on who's coaching this team.

I love Edgecombe. I think he is a defensive leaning Ant like athlete. He might actually be faster. Kid is a blur in the open court. I saw him play twice in person and every play he is active ....swiping at ballhandlers going for tip dunks.

I agree Harper is the perfect fit. I also like the fact he has a nola connection ...his mom played ball at UNO.

I think Flagg is going to be a really good 2nd or 3rd player on a championship caliber team but I think his handle needs a lot of work. He might prove me wrong. It's hard to bet against a guy with his work ethic.

I keep going back and forth on Tre and Queen. I have a feeling 1 of them will hit but no idea which.

Outside of the top guys... I love the kid Flemming. Big athletic and can shoot.

Sleepers: I like the French guy Beringer. Big athletic...looks like a player.

Deep sleeper... somehow I watched a lot of highlights of the massive Aussie Rocco. Ben Pfeifer has a great Youtube breakdown of his highlights. Kid is raw but there aren't many guys 7'-3"+ that move like that.

Flagg, Harper, Bailey is my 1-3

Then VJ, Maluach, karparas is my 4-6

Then it’s probably Queen, Tre Johnson and Fears

Flagg is the prize but Harper is the best fit for this iteration of the pels if they plan on still building around Zion which I wouldn’t do but I suspect Griff will still try to do

Flagg and Harper are obvious 1-2. The draft starts at 3 and I would go Bailey (off pure talent), Fears, Jakacionis, Edgecomb.

I know people are high on Edgecombe, but he did not look special in the tournament at all. Fears and Jakacionis both looked better. Edgecombe reminds me of Jarrett Culver.

Agree that Edgecomb was not great in the ncaa...but Edgecombe is not like Culver. Culver was a rangy 6'-6" defender who could handle a little and was a good athlete. Edgcombe is good shooter and an elite athlete. Jumping over people

If the Pels land 3-5 I could see them packaging that + Indy pick and another future 1st to move up to get Harper.

A team like Charlotte or Washington may not want another young guard.

Harper and Edgecombe id feel the most comfortable drafting.

like you said Bailey is a high risk high reward type prospect. id be happy drafting him but he has a ways to go.

im a fan of fears and like his potential if his combine measurements are good.

this draft has good players but lacks the bonafide studs like previous drafts.

I want a PG, so I've been fixated on Fears. But I actually think that Queen might be the most talented player in the draft. Everyone has him listed as a Center, but he has range and great ball skills. I'd take him over Bailey.

I wish Fears had more vertical pop. His half court finishing numbers are like 46-47%. Only 5 dunks and 0 in the half court. He is a blur but I worry about his finishing at the rim. Ala Kyra Lewis

I am interested to see what his combine numbers are....when you have a guy with elite speed but only average hops. It makes you appreciate the guys like wade, Ja, rose, and westbrook.

His shooting also scares me. People keep pointing to his good FT% as indication that he’ll become a good shooting and that’s a good indicator but Fears has never been a good shooter dating back to AAU and high school. That’s why I prefer Queen and Tre John to him if we fall to like 7
