POINT GUARDS / SHOOTING GUARDS / SMALL FORWARDS / POWER FORWARDS / CENTERS
 |
Small Forward / 6-9 / Duke / Freshman
17.3 ppg, 6.8 rpg
Newly hired head coach Luke Walton is clearly living a charmed life. The Lakers were facing potentially losing their pick (a 50/50 proposition) and instead land one of the highly coveted top two picks in this draft, giving them a potential franchise player in Ingram. Baby Durantula may take some time to adapt to the physicality of the league, but his upside is unmistakable. |

Small Forward / 6-6 / Michigan State / Senior
19.2 ppg, 7.5 rpg
The Pistons appear to be on the brink of returning to relevance after their first trip to the playoffs in a number of years. Therefore a ready-to-go player with leadership qualities such as Valentine makes sense. He's also a local kid who chose to stay close to home to play at Michigan State. If he ends up fulfilling his promise, re-signing him and convincing him to stay in Detroit should be easier than with some players. |

Small Forward / 6-7 / KK Mega Leks (Serbia) / 1995
14.6 ppg, 4.8 rpg
The Sixers have struggled to defend anyone the last few years and Luwawu is known as a kid with good defensive potential. The team could look to add a point guard here, although there are not many with legitimate first-round value. |

Small Forward / 6-7 / Baylor / Senior
15.9 ppg, 6.1 rpg
The Clippers have a team loaded with talent and a small window of opportunity with Chris Paul's career approaching its twilight. Prince is one of the draft's more ready to contribute players, and could fill a role similar to the one Matt Barnes held before being shipped off to Memphis for Lance Stephenson. |
Key: (*) Standard salary for players selected with that pick in 2016-17.
