LOTTERY LOWDOW
14
NUGGETS
SHAI GILGEOUS-ALEXANDER
PG, Kentucky
He could be a nice fit as a 6'6" swing guard, but Denver may package this pick for an immediate impact.
13
CLIPPERS
ROBERT WILLIAMS
C, Texas A&M
At 6'9" and 240 pounds, he is a natural rim-runner who could help fill the void in the middle if DeAndre Jordan leaves Los Angeles.
12
CLIPPERS
COLLIN SEXTON
PG, Alabama
He appeared selfish at times, and his shot selection was suspect, but the 6'2" freshman is a natural scorer with potential as a leader.
11
HORNETS
KEVIN KNOX
F, Kentucky
In his first pick as GM, Mitch Kupchak won't get a star but a raw 6'9", 215-pound combo forward who can become a building block.
10
76ERS
MILES BRIDGES
SF, Michigan St.
The 6'7" sophomore has the makings of a versatile, high-energy glue guy. Questions remain about his shooting.
9
KNICKS
MIKAL BRIDGES
SF, Villanova
His ability to space the floor and guard multiple positions makes him a safe bet, but he's at best a secondary scorer.
8
CAVALIERS
TRAE YOUNG
PG, Oklahoma
He has range, creativity off the dribble and flair. For a team needing outside help, the 6'2" freshman is the best option.
7
BULLS
MICHAEL PORTER JR.
SF, Missouri
A big-time scorer, he will have to show well in workouts after back surgery shortened his freshman season.
6
MAGIC
WENDELL CARTER
PF, Duke
At 6'10" and 260 pounds, he has great hands and can play inside-out. Though he's not a leaper, he's a bankable pick with upside.
5
MAVERICKS
MOHAMED BAMBA
C, Texas
With a 7'9" wingspan and 9'6" standing reach, he has high-end defensive potential—and a rudimentary offensive game.
4
GRIZZLIES
MARVIN BAGLEY III
PF, Duke
A rebounder who can create baskets and eventually could stretch the floor, he will provide steady double doubles.
3
HAWKS
JAREN JACKSON
C, Michigan State
At 6'11", he is raw but does have the skills of a modern big: He can shoot from deep, defend in space and protect the rim.
2
KINGS
LUKA DONČIÁ
G, Real Madrid
The MVP of the Euroleague Final Four at age 19, the 6'8" Slovenian playmaker will fit nicely alongside De'Aaron Fox.
