Simmons & Ingram are clearly consensus 1 & 2.
And even though it's a HUGE drop off, # 3 is kind of interesting.
Brown, Dunn, Bender, Poeltl, Hield all have some claim to # 3 pick.
-Brown has most potential. Also fits defensively. BUT, can't shoot a lick, so he with Bender would require most work, but has a higher floor than Bender.
-Dunn fits well in a guard rotation. Solid on defense, but also a lot of upside because of side. But he's older, so that puts questions on his ceiling
-Bender is really really raw. Has good potential , but isn't some mythical being that if he gets it, will blow the doors off like Porzingis got from some circles.
-Poeltl is the best defender of these guys. Would fit, but wouldn't say his ceiling is super high. Fringe starter maybe.
-Hield is probably the easy # 3 pick if he wasn't turning 23 in December. Great great shooter. But he's bad on defense, and is a bit undersized as a 2. Also out of all these guys, he's the only one that would require shuffling of any of Russell, Clarkson & Randle to a new team (Clarkson in this case). Now way it could work, or even attempt to work it like you could try with Simmons & Randle in a variant lineup of different generations.
No thanks to Ellenson & Murray
