only doing the re-lottery:

  1. Tatum - easy #1 pick
  2. Mitchell - most allstars (tied with Tatum), most playoff success as the best player
  3. Bam - tough between Fox and Bam, but I'm going with Bam because he's been the #2 on two Finals teams
  4. Fox - i do think he has a higher ceiling than Bam, so this was tough, but I think Bam is a little more proven
  5. Markkanen - love his game, i think he'll continue to get better and rack up a couple more allstars, but he's the least proven of these top guys
  6. Jarrett Allen - amazing defender, fits with almost any team, I think he'll help the Cavs go far
  7. OG Anunoby - great two-way player, probably won't get more than 1-2 allstars in his career, but he is a winning player
  8. Derrick White - this is where the draft falls off for me, but i think he's a solid role player who can contribute on a contender
  9. Josh Hart - one of the best role players in the league imo
  10. John Collins - imo he's empty stats but he's still a decent role player
  11. Zach Collins - another decent role player, but hasn't proven much on a non-awful team
  12. Kyle Kuzma - empty stats but not a terrible scorer
  13. Malik Monk - good role player who can provide a scoring boost
  14. Thomas Bryant - decent big man

Notable Misses: Lonzo, while im a big lonzo fan, i'm not convinced he'll ever play another game again. Same with Jonathan isaac, he's played 11 games in the last 3 years and i feel like he's overrated when he does play. I was considering Monte Morris for the 14th pick, but I went with Bryant because its getting harder and harder for undersized guards to succeed unless they're elite at something

Leaving Fultz off completely is mad fultz disrespect, he has turned into a very solid starting point guard after getting over his nerve issue and shoulder stuff. Maybe if this were a body of work so far resume, but I am assuming this is who you think will have the best career in the end or who is best right now, and Fultz absolutely clears some of these guys like Monk, Collins, and probably Thomas Bryant
