Okongwu I think is going to go pretty high in the draft. Williams though might be there. You guys don't like Hayes?

Hayes doesn't have the needed basketball IQ nor commitment to be an effective big imo in the league. Maybe he can prove me wrong this season with a significant jump.
 
Executives around the NBA say the Timberwolves prefer to trade down or out of this pick to bring in a win-now player to help Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell. If they stay at no. 1, Edwards brings a scoring skill set that would fit nicely in the backcourt next to Russell.

The Warriors will likely target a wing in the draft, according to league sources. Avdija makes sense as a target due to his versatility, playmaking, and high basketball IQ, all qualities that helped Golden State reach five straight NBA Finals. Many league executives expect Avdija to enter the mainstream conversation as a top-three pick as the draft approaches; in a class full of uncertainties, Avdija really only needs to improve his jumper to make a longtime impact

Terry’s grown to 6-foot-2 barefoot and added 14 pounds to reach 174, and his stock has increased accordingly. Multiple league sources say Terry is receiving interest in the mid-first round. He’s been ranked in my top 10 for months because of his shotmaking ability packaged with a feel for passing and a grit for defense.

League sources have placed Obi Toppin in the mix for the Cavs at No. 5—he can contribute immediately and supply energy to a locker room searching for a collective identity. While there are legitimate concerns about him on defense, teams appear willing to take the production and work around it. This is a critical season for Cleveland, and tangible progress from their young talent might be the only thing that can take pressure off the front office. It doesn’t help that Cavs are guard-heavy and need to get all three of Collin Sexton, Darius Garland and Kevin Porter Jr. on the floor this season.
