Most web sites have him #1 on their draft board, but #2 on their mock draft. They think he's the best prospect, but that most teams would rather have Ayton at #1.Cap wrote:I think Doncic is starting to emerge as the consensus #1, with Ayton as a pretty awesome consolation prize at #2.

Nbadraft.net has him going #2 but listed #6 on their big board.O_Gardino wrote:Most web sites have him #1 on their draft board, but #2 on their mock draft.

CBSsports has him listed #3 in their prospect rankings.
ESPN has him listed #2 in their rankings.
I cannot find one site outside thestepien and theringer that list him #1.

I see him listed as #1 on an elite basketball analysis site, phx-suns.net.

Fair enough.

Re: Who would you pick if we (OGW-willing) landed #1?
Worst case for me is if the Suns pick Jaren Jackson Jr. I know a bunch of so called draftniks, armchair scouts, and nba math geeks love him. I see total bust, and that's my 26 years of coaching experience talking. I know the advanced numbers love him, but my gut says it would be a complete mistake.
I agree that he has great defensive instincts, but there is so much blah and meh to the rest of his game to me.

Tankathon actually has a draft board aside from their mock draft, and they have Doncic #1. SI.com has him #2, I think.

'Bazz, you might need to change the thread title. Either that, or we make a new thread and then compare to see if things change now that we actually have it.

I think she died of irrelevance. During the Colangelo era we were cursed. Post-Colangelo we’ve been too poorly managed to have any business complaining about luck.Superbone wrote:Is she still alive?
