Simple enough. Who is on top of your draft board?

My name is Luka. I live on the 2nd floor (elevate and detonate!) I live upstairs from you. Yes, I think you've seen me before
Go Suns!

Doncic is already special, and against top competition. His only knock is his athleticism, but I feel that’s being overblown. Wasn’t that a knock on Booker coming out as well?
How’d that turn out?

I voted Doncic, but at this point it’s basically a coin flip between him and Ayton.

Let’s hope this is a debate we get to have after May 15.

Man it’s tough. I don’t know. I’d be happy with either Ayton or Doncic. I think both have risks in their own way

I voted Ayton, but it's so close and would be happy with either. I really hope after May 15th we can have this debate in earnest.

Watching the Rockets Wolves game, I could see Ayton being a much better beast on the block to punish switches than KAT has been. I could also see a Rockets type offense with a playmaker, passer, shooter and rebounder of Doncic, Booker and a revamped improved outside shooting starting team too.

I'll be sad if we don't get Doncic or Ayton. I guess if I have to lean one way it's toward the more versatile Doncic.

Real coin flip but as much as I love Donic today I chose Ayton. Just feel the need for a defensive changer as well as a force down low still has a big pull for me.
However, I’d be more than happy with either, and I can see wonderful things with Donic/Booker/Jackson as a core and supplementing Bigs who defend.

I might change my selection;)

I voted Doncic. I just don't think big men matter as much in 2019's NBA. A super versatile swing or forward who can handle the ball, pass, and shoot well is worth his weight in gold. Ayton is also a really great prospect, so if we end up with him, I'll be optimistic.

In a way, I'm almost hoping we fall to #2 to make it easy. Such a tough call between the two, but I would lean towards Ayton.

You may want to switch to Bamba then.

I love the idea of a Jackson-Booker-Doncic starting lineup, with Jackson guarding the PG and Doncic guarding the 2 or 3. Booker gets hidden on the weaker opposing 2/3. But, there's also a lot of sizzle to a Booker-Ayton high-low game with Jackson slashing.

The real question for me is how much untapped potential is remaining with Chriss and Bender. If the Suns can land Bud, will the Suns play as more than a sum of their parts, instead of less?

I'm taking Luka over Ayton right now. That might change, but I want the basketball player and winner, and I'm not sure Ayton is at that level right now. Wouldn't be disappointed with Ayton but Luka might have "it" and in today's game with him, Booker and Jackson, they'd be tough to stop all around. Also not convinced Ayton is the rebounder/shotblocker we want/need.

I went with Ayton, but I change my mind almost daily, haha.

Who picked other? I'm guessing Michael Porter Jr?

Yeah, who picked "other"? Is that a vote for trading down?

Trade it for Bud.

Not the coach, the beer.

Hey, the guys in the commercials would do it.

I go back and forth between Ayton and Docic, but I voted for Doncic today. I suppose I think that maybe Len could come back on a reasonable contract and he could become really solid with a good coach and a guy like Doncic being able to get him the ball where he can be successful. But I'd really be happy with Ayton too. I wish I could think of some plausible way to get both of those guys.
