    Two higher picks to Orlando along with Aminu or Harkless for 6 to take Isaac if there. Don't think he will make it to 7 anymore

    No trades
    15- Jackson or Giles
    20- Allen or Patton
    26- Hartenstein or Anginogu

    My predictions:
    We will not keep all our picks
    A lot of us will be very mad/puzzled/disappointed by the end.
    However, by the time of Summer League we will be excited again.
    Then, after Summer League, we'll be disappointed again.

    Somehow we will end up with a high-character scrappy four-year player. Think of him as "the new Pat".

    I'll play along, trade up for Isaac or Tatum. Harkless and pick for 10, 10 and pick for 6?

    Highly doubt we keep all 3, but if we did, Giles, Anunoby, Hartenstein will be my predictions at 15, 20, 26. High upside PF, defensive SF/PF, and draft and stash prospect.

    A. If we trade into the lotto - Zach Collins

    B. If we keep all three picks we are going with defense
    #15 Donovan Mitchell (Perimeter PG/G defender in a 3 guard rotation with Dame and CJ)
    #20 Justin Patton (The Bosnian Beast's primary back-up)
    #26 Jordan Bell (Versatile PF/C defender off the bench)

    If we trade into the lottery, it's for Mitchell.

    I think the lottery target is Isaac, but it's more likely we end up with Zach Collins if we trade up.

    B)
    #15 - TJ Leaf
    #20 - Terrance Ferguson
    #26 - Anzejs Pasecniks

    I'm guessing we'll end up trading #20 (or perhaps #26) and Leonard for a second rounder this year, and a second rounder next year. With the second rounder this year we draft Caleb Swanigan, or Josh Hart.

    Neil has to cover up his mistakes somehow.

    The more time I spend studying this draft I'm just making my answer less wrong.

    But Zach Collins won't follow anyone off a cliff nor scratch all the toilet paper off the roll. He's not that type of guy.

    My predictions!

    Trading up: Zach Collins

    Keeping picks:
    15: Harry Giles
    20: TJ Leaf
    26: Isaiah Hartenstein

    If we keep all three I can pretty much guarantee that one will be a draft-n-stash if we don't waive a few players.

    Leaf IMO would be the BPA if he's still available at #20. I'm basing these on current stocks - otherwise I'd have Jordan Bell at #20.

    Harry Giles is based on upside and the rumor that Neil & co. love him.

    Hartenstein is a long-term project but he's a quick leaper and has elite size for a PF - just turned 19 and 7'1.25" (w/shoes) he could very well top out at 7'2".

    Disagree on Leaf. He's an awful defender.

    There won't be any trades because he won't be able to sell it. He will by default take the best players available his scouting team put together for him at each position. We will then have a log jam of talent at each position scratching our heads wondering whatever he is going to do to fine tune and then out the roster. ONLY to be disappointed when the season comes around and he hasn't done anything significant to improve the team by moving some of this depth. Same ol story by this GM. Unless the team is named Denver, he can't do anything.
