3 top picks plus one wildcard in case Danny trades down or Nets play too good for their own good in the 2nd half

My list
Fultz
Tatum
Giles

Wildcard
Bridges

Fultz and Giles are two of the best shot creators of the draft.
Giles is a very nice pf prospect but there will always be concerns about his health..

Im a fan of Bridges. One of the top underrated players of the draft imo

I also like Ball. But may not be a good fit under the current roster

Your list

Ball, Tatum, Fultz.  Personally I think Ball is a much better fit for this team than Fultz with his length, shooting range, and athleticism.  Tatum would be a great fit as well.  Put Fultz on here as a third pick because of consensus opinions on him, but when I've seen him play he hasn't impressed me that much.

Giles could make it on there if his health is good and he has a strong second half of the season.

Interesting... You think Ball could be an effective scorer at the nba level?  We all know his passing will translate at the next level

Fultz
Jackson
Giles - just needs some time before he rises on every draft board

Ball has a natural feel for the game that few have. He could help the Celtics right now. He's that good.

I also like Ball. But may not Would be a good fit under the current roster

That's my list.

Fultz is first then I have 3 guys in my next group Jackson, Monk and Tatum.

Giles has a chance to move into that group.

Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

I have the same top 3 list as triboy.  Only I have Fultz, Giles and Tatum in that order, and may end up with Giles No. 1. Not sure if you put them in the order you like.

Don't know Bridges, will check him out, thanks.

I agree with your top 3. Those are mine as well but why Bridges as the wildcard?

Despite the roster jam, I'd take Ball. He's the consummate team player and most unique talent. A 6'6" point guard who would be near the league lead in assists, score efficiently, rebound, defend, plus ball-handler, no character concerns.

Futz may be more explosive offensively, but he's not on the same level of passing or efficiency, and Ball has a solid 2+ inches on him.

Obviously I'd be happy with either, of course. Bradley would probably be the odd man out when he wants his monster contract, and would be trade bait for a big man.

Theoretically I want the best big man available, but I just don't see one in the same league as these guys yet.

Thomas / Ball / Smart / Rozier / Jackson (guards)
Crowder / Brown (swings)
Horford / Zizic / Yabusele (bigs)

Bradley: trade bait for another big
$$$: max free agent

I'd be ecstatic with any of Fultz/Ball/Jackson/Giles/Tatum (probably in that order...although ask me again in 5 minutes). 

Giles seems like a clear best fit for us since we need good bigs and rebounding, but the injury concerns are scary.  Jackson seems like the most "Ainge/Stevens" system-fit type of player with our current team identity.  I'd say he is the current best bet to actually be our pick in reality -- you can't have too many long, athletic players that can guard 2-4 in today's NBA.  Fultz/Ball seem like the most dynamic talents for right now.  Tatum I think is least likely to be our pick, but I would put him in that top 5 tier with these guys.
