Jazz negotiate a deal where they still end up landing Tre Johnson off of the bench along with AJ Dybantsa the starting SG.

The Wizards hear that Peterson wants to be a PG and they are currently compromised with Trae so they decide to play cards a bit different and go with Boozer whose athleticism remarks were put to bed in the combine.

The Grizzlies land Darryn Peterson and he’s the perfect backcourt partner for Cedric Coward, all of a sudden Memphis seems more interesting.

The Bulls move back because they want to land Claxton, the Nets get Caleb Wilson as a part of the big 4 even if they didn’t land inside it from lottery.

The Hawks get Super aggressive after they learn that the Bulls and Kings are super interested in Flemings. They think about Acuff here but they can’t make that work, because defense is their identity.

The Bulls get Acuff into their laps Along with Claxton so it’s not at all a bad swap. At 7 they land Keaton Wagler who stays in IL and he’s can be a good replacement for Giddey and Demar off of the bench.

For the Kings they get a proven commodity in Giddey who can play PG/SF for them and they badly need his playmaking.

The Clippers move back after the Hawks jump up and they grab Aday Mara because he is locked in as a top 10 pick and they can replace Zubac with it.

The Mavericks grab Burries not Yaxel despite the graphics, he’s the perfect fit next to Kyrie and Flagg. They end up landing Koa Pea at 30 because he absolutely sucked at the combine.

The Bucks get Mikel Brown Jr. usually guys of his talent don’t drop to this level however he has been pretty inconsistent.

The Warriors grab Yaxel Lendeborg at PF and he’s can play center in some lineups. He will be a plug and play and potentially a wonderful Draymond replacement.

The Nate Ament train stops at OKC and if they view him having KD level upside the greatest balanced team got even scarier.

The Miami Heat draft Philon to be the sole orchestrator of the offense they have been missing since Goran Dragic.

The Pistons move Duren for the 14th overall pick and a 2027 1st via Mavericks. They draft Cameron Carr after a successful combine and play Ausar Thompson and Isaiah in the frontcourt. And Carr fixes the shooting woes outside of Cade.

The Bulls have 3 firsts which is a Luxury and Aday Mara sudden rise has dropped Steinbach to post lottery and the Bulls will gladly scoop him next to Matas and Claxton.

The Grizzlies take JQ because they want to invest in this defensive frontcourt identity they want to form, and they can start GG at PF.

OKC wants to get stronger on defense so they draft Dailyn Swain who could potentially be a day one starter and replace Dort.

The Hornets land Morez Johnson within the Top 20 and this is a miracle because he was hearing lottery rumors after the combine.

Lopez will become the first Mexican player drafted in the T20 he will be a plug and play next to Harper and Wembanyama.

The Pistons go ahead and take Christian Anderson who is arguably the best deep shooter in the class, and they have Duncan and Carr as well. He also has the ability to be big off of the bench too he’s BPA. They also sign Mitchell Robinson

Philly will take Tounde Yessoufou and he’s basically the next gen VJ Edgecombe/Jimmy Butler type with his downhill game and the Sixers instead of having one guy doing that they will have two and that’s scary.

The Clippers after landing Mara just need the guy who will form the Backcourt duo with Garland and that’s Evans. He needs to work on defense a little but he would be the reason the Clippers will be complete.

The Knicks grab a bit of a project in Cenac Jr but they need a proper center next to KAT to rim protect and play defense and that’s where Cenac can really do well.

The Lakers could not have asked for a better center to drop right into their laps. Veesar showed out in the games Caleb Wilson didn’t play and could be a wonderful third option alongside Luka and Reaves.

The Nuggets retool and add Amari Allen who surprisingly declares once he gets confirmation he will be selected in the first round. He can immidiately contribute like a Josh Hart which is desperately what this nuggets team properly needs.

Celtics add Tarris Reed jr and try trading Jaylen Brown in order gain KD and push to the ECF with White Tatum KD.

Ebuka Okorie is a first round lock, his athleticism and raw scoring is off the charts and he’s exactly the menace on defense they need next to Edwards.

The funniest part is really the Cavs selecting a player so similar to Harden in Maleek Thomas but he can learn so much from Mitchell and Tyson overall game.

The Mavericks select Peat to start with Flagg for the future so the Mavericks have the Kyrie Flagg PJ and Gafford and then Burries Christie Koa Lively for the future.

Let’s debate it in the comments I’m excited

Only trade to happen Onyeka and 23 in exchange for Naz and 28

1. Wizards- AJ Dybantsa

Missing a really good 3 who can be the focal point of the team next to Keyshawn and Sarr

2. Hornets- Cameron Boozer

The Hornets just want the player who will be a seemless fit next to what core they already have and Boozer has a lot of strength and playmaking ability

3. Jazz- Darryn Peterson

The Jazz end up having two generational draft back to back and Peterson slots in so well next to Keyonte Lauri and Ace

4. Nets- Caleb Wilson

Go for pure 2 way player who has a high ceiling in the class and one of the best motors by far

5. Kings- Darius Acuff

The best Coach Cal player in since Maxey Booker and a couple others like SGA etc. Kings have a Vacant PG

6. Clippers- Keaton Wagler

Propelled Illinois to the Final 4 and the perfect fit amongst Kawhi and Garland as a clutch bucket

7. Grizzlies- Kingston Flemings

The Grizzlies need the Ja replacement and luckily Flemings fell into their lap and he will really fit in right away with how good he is defensively

8. Mavericks- Labaron Philon

The real ones know this isn’t a surprise at all he has been extremely consistent and plays with shades of Kyrie in him

9. Hawks- Mikel Brown Jr

The Hawks see a lot of shades of Lamelo Ball in his game and the injuries and inconsistencies drop him a little however this is really good for the Hawks who need a go to guy

10. Bulls- Yaxel Landeborg

The Bulls need someone in the paint who can absorb contact and grab boards and Yaxel is extremely capable as a shot creator as well

11. Bucks- Cameron Carr

The Bucks want someone who can take pressure off of Giannis at the 3 spot kind of filling the previous Khris Middleton Roles

12. Warriors- Brayden Burries

He reminds me a lot of Devin Booker to his game except defensively he’s a way better player and if the Warriors want to run it back with Curry they have to show him that they are serious about helping him win

13. Heat- Hannes Steinbach

Someone whose a dbl dbl machine and is capable of grabbing boards is someone the Heat need almost right away

14. Hornets- Aday Mara

Immidiately a plug and play center he along with Yaxel was a true reason for Michigan to win the chip. He will give the hornets a scary sense to them and help them advance into the ECF

15. Bulls- Jayden Quaintance

The bulls needing a center isn’t any type of secret at all but right outside the lottery is the max I see JQ falling

16. Hornets - Isaiah Evans

After that unbelievable playoff performance the Hornets decide to dip into the Duke bucket again and get the 6’7 evans for the crazy upside and clutch buckets off the bench

17. Thunder- Dailyn Swain

He’s the Herbert Jones type and the only problem for OKC is more consistency on the defensive side of the ball once they lose key pieces like Dort and Hartenstein

18. Grizzlies- Chris Cenac Jr.

After an Ok ok playoffs the stock on Cenac drops but the Grizzlies see a lot Of similarities to JJJ so they get him here to make sure there is the front court presence with him and Edey

19. Raptors- Patrick Ngongba

Any raptors game anyone watched it was super obvious they always had a huge chance to win any game however the lack of a big man rim protector was clear so they immediately fix this by getting Ngongba

20. Spurs - Karim Lopez

The Spurs need forwards who can take the pressure off of Wemby and the other guards and that’s really what Lopez brings to the table

21. Pistons- Nate Ament

Kind of like the Cam Whitmore Fall I can expect Ament to slide into the 20s because the ceiling is there but I’m not sold on his complete ability to translate to the next level, however it’s Detroit he could impress

22. Sixers- Tounde Yessoufou

After defeating the Celtics the Sixers believe the Baylor Bucket is the way to go and he gives them a lot of shades of Edwards coming out of Georgia

23. Hawks- Henri Veesar

Big surprise to a lot of people but the way he played after that injury to Wilson really showcased what level of production he can have in a featured role with playmakers like Brown and JJ

24. Knicks- Morez Johnson

After losing Julius Randle they get someone who plays with the tenacity and grit he brought without the two way inconsistency

25. Lakers- Motejeus Krivas

After playing well in the playoffs Krivas makes himself a staple in the Lakers offense with Luka and Reaves offering 7’2 frame with rebounding and rim protection

26. Nuggets- Bennett Stirtz

An Iowa Bucket

27. Celtics- Joshua Jefferson

Usually the Celtics take the most experienced level players and take Jefferson to be able to clean up the inside defense and drive in on offense

28. Timberwolves- Christian Anderson

He’s shooting over 42% from 3 and single-handedly has beat a couple of schools himself the Wolves need to remember passing on Stephen Curry twice and not repeat the mistake

29. Cavaliers- Ebuka Okorie

He played lights out for the rest of the season and he is lighting it up in the NBA scrimmages he’s definitely the kind of guy that could find himself right in the end of the first round

30. Mavericks- Amari Allen

Reunites with his teammate Philon on the Mavericks and immidiately contributes from the bench as a great 3 and D wing.

Guys I honestly don’t know why we wouldn’t consider Caleb a top 3 players let’s debate it

Maleek Thomas was traded up for by Blston making a sneaky trade for Dayron Sharpe
