Deandre Ayton. 1. player. 66. Ayton is one of two potential picks the Suns could go with here with Luka Doncic being the other. However, a pairing of Devin Booker and Ayton could become one of the top duos in the NBA within a couple of seasons. Ayton has the potential to be a great two-way center in this league.. Center. Arizona

The Kings are fortunate they have the second pick because they don’t hold a first rounder next year. Luka Doncic is someone they can build their entire franchise around and the much-needed replacement for DeMarcus Cousins.. Point Guard. Real Madrid. Luka Doncic. 2. player. 67

Michigan State. Jaren Jackson Jr.. 3. player. 125. The Atlanta Hawks are very early in the rebuilding process and could use a solid candidate to kick things off. That’s where Jaren Jackson Jr. comes into play. He’s a safe prospect and someone who can become a good player in this league.. Power Forward/ Center

211. Bagley is a more risky prospect than Jackson, but has the higher upside. If the Grizzlies can find a position for him, he could become a great player for them. He’s a great scorer and has the potential to be a good shot-blocker as well. Also, he should fit in nicely next to Marc Gasol.. Power Forward/ Center. Duke. Marvin Bagley III. 4. player

Center. Texas. Mohamed Bamba. 5. player. 79. Bamba gives the Mavericks two bookends, along with Dennis Smith Jr, to continue their rebuilding project around. He’s extremely long (7-foot-10 wingspan) and has an extremely high ceiling if he can put everything together.
