I haven't heard about if Bennett has worked out with Charlotte yet or not but I think they're the team to take him above the Suns if it were to happen. I thought it may be the Wizards at first but I feel like they'll end up with Porter.
The thing I really like about this draft is the fact that the top 5 isn't truly set in stone, and I feel like it will really be worth the watch. With lots of high pick teams possibly looking for a trade it really opens things up for a more exciting night where anything could happen. There hasn't been a draft where the #1 pick isn't more or less set in stone in several years and I think that's what makes this year exciting. I hope we aren't let down and it isn't as quiet as this year's trade deadline.
I totally agree. This is the most mobile draft I can remember. Usually things tier out, where even if you don't know where they'll go exactly, you sort of know these five players are gonna go in some order 4-9, or These are the top three in some order. That feels less the case in this draft than any I can recall. The range players can fall in is crazy. Like I could see Len going anywhere from 4 to 16. And the foreign guys are all over the place.
