What draft position will you be satisfied with?

[jpotter33]

So we're guaranteed a top 4 pick in this year's draft, but the lottery this Tuesday will decide what actual pick we'll have. Of course everyone desires the first pick, but what pick would you ultimately be satisfied with?

I'd say you have to be satisfied with a top 2 pick in this year's draft, because depending upon who ends up getting the first pick (e.g. LA, Phoenix, etc.), it's not guaranteed that they take Fultz, who I think should be pretty much our sole (or at least are very highest) priority in the draft.

I will be satisfied with the 4th pick.



Therefor, I can be excited about any pick higher then that.

Same. I like Fultz, Jackson

But dont think any of the top 4-5 prospects stand a cut above another

[jakeopp]

#1 will be the only pick that gets me excited.

I view Jackson/Ball/Tatum/Monk/Fox/Isaac/Smith as being significantly worse prospects than Fultz.

#2 or #3 would obviously be better than #4 so Danny has a better chance to get second favorite guy (assuming Fultz is his #1). If i had to guess, I would say he takes Jackson #2 and Tatum #3.

1 or 2 only to be satisfied.

[rondofan1255]

satisfied with a top 4 pick no matter what, 1 would be gravy of course.

this doesn't feel like the Duncan or Oden/Durant draft situation (or even Jabari/Wiggins to a much lesser extent). Feels more like last year's.

[jambr380]

Only #1 will make me 'happy.'

I already know we are getting top 4 pick in the draft and with 4 top prospects, we can't really lose, but only one player seems to be the consensus #1.

I suppose if the Lakers get #1 and we get #2, then there is still hope, but even then I will be pretty bummed that the Lakers got #1.

Edit: Only with the #3 or #4 will there be little issue with the salary cap and max FA. Maybe that should be considered, too.

I agree with this. I think only the future will show real separation of the top 5-6 picks in this draft. I think this draft is very deep and full of talent all the way to the second round.Seems like a very talented class.

[libermaniac]

I selected satisfied with top 4 pick because:

1) Markelle Fultz is the best prospect but at the position we least need help.
2) Don't want Ball, but someone will take him before 4.
3) I figure Josh Jackson fits this team best from an on-court personality basis.  Tough defender, great effort, position flexibility. But, can he shoot.
4) Jayson Tatum might have the most upside to be a go-to scorer other than Fultz. 

In general, I believe there will be more "luck" involved after the draft in terms of who pans out, than the actual lotto itself.  Not nearly as stressed as I was last year, where I considered it a two player draft.  But, I think I was wrong.  I'm not sure I'd trade Jaylen for Ingram now, would you?
 

[green_bballers13]

I would not trade Brown for Ingram. I like the flashes that I see in Jaylen.

I'm already satisfied with a top 4 pick. I don't really want Lonzo, but I could see us trading him. I could see us playing Fultz, Tatum, and Jackson next year.

[Roy H.]

I'm satisfied with a top-4 pick, but I'll still be slightly disappointed with anything other than #1.

[PAOBoston]

Would love #1 but humble. Glad we get to watch playoff basketball AND worry about the lottery at the same time.

[positivitize]

Any of the above. I would love to have Fultz on this team but I'm super hyped about both Jackson and Tatum. I'd be mildly disappointed if we draft Ball or trade the pick for a year rental of George (who's going to the lakers fo sho).

[Boris Badenov]

I really want top 2. It seems like there's no consensus on who the best player will be out of the Ball/Jackson/Tatum crowd and I want Danny to have his pick of them if we don't get #1.

Tired of the Celts getting screwed in the lotto. They have never moved up and the best they ever did was when they picked where they were supposed to
