I can see Siakam going first, and Poeltl its difficult to judge but probably 6-10?
SpicyP43905
I think Pascal goes 2nd, no? I only see Jaylen perhaps landing over him.
As for Poeltl, I think the 8-10 range.
Edit: Fred should also be there, probably at like 6 or 7
shakefistatsky
Murray sabonis and lavert are also moving on up into the top 10 for this one
cursed-lie
I remember this sub complaining HARD when we picked Pascal over Labisseiere. I love this sub.

For the LeT’s TaNk crowd, a quick look at this atrocious draft board is all you need to see that first round picks are a complete crapshoot in the NBA. Build around the devil you know, because the devil you don’t know can be a whole hell of a lot worse.
I wouldn’t want to bank my future on a bunch of first round draft picks.

100% Siakam would go first. He is better than Ingram, Brown, and Domas
JustAHumbleMonk
Brown, Pascal, Sabonis, Murray, Ingram, THEN Poeltl. I’d say 6th. Of course Simmons had a better start to his career but his stock has taken a huge hit.

If you hold this up, for arguments sake, against the Ringer’s player rankings (unless I missed something):
1) Siakam (21st)
2) Brown (22nd)
3) Sabonis (23rd)
4) Ingram (34th)
5) J Murray (43rd)
6) D Murray (51st)
7) Zubac (86th)
8) Poeltl (97th)
Obviously you could easily nitpick at the margins (esp/ with Siakam vs Brown and Poeltl vs Zubac), but this seems realistic.

Yak goes first
h3yn0w75
Pascal and Fred move up a lot. Pascal is in the top 3 mix with Jaylen Brown. Maybe Ingram too.
Jakob probably goes down the list. I doubt he stays in the top 10.

I didn’t realize Giannis’ dad was drafted ahead of Pascal. Crazy
somedumbguy55
I’d say second to fourth. In no order brown ingram spicy and sabonis. I couldn’t say who is better than who and where it would be best I’m not a Reddit GM.
Those seem to be the best four players in the draft.

Siakam #1
Brown #2
Sabonis #3
Ingram #4
D Murray #5
J Murray #6
FVV #7
Brogdon #9
Ben Simmons #10 (his first few years were good and need to be considered. Toughest to place considering everything)
Jak #11

Pascal would go first

Siakam honestly might be first…basketball media will probably say like 8th though lol

Before Simmons
Equivalent_Fox_1546
Siakam is the best player from the 2016 draft. Poeltl would be around the same 8th-9th.

I’m taking Siakam first but I could see Jaylen/BI due to age

Ingram, brown, Murray, Sabonis are the only ones you could argue over Pascal. Yak would be right after them.
shahed2806
Pascal and JB are interchangeable 1 and 2. Both have had seasons where they looked better than the other. Although JB is younger so, it’s fair to put him at #1. Then I got Sabonis, and Ingram. Then the 2 Murrays and Fred. Probably in this order Dejounte, Fred, Jamal. After those guys I’d put Brogdon, Hield, Jakob, and Zubac in the next tier. These guys are all top starter level (Hield’s shooting is too good despite his other flaws).
ihatechromebooks
Denzel valentine should’ve gone 1st
TJB_033
Pascal #3, Yak right where he went. Maybe 8.
SuwavySheen
If we’re going by player skill currently, not team fit. My list would be: 1. JB 2. Pascal 3. Sabonis 4. J. Murray 5. Ingram 6. D. Murray 7. Hield 8. Benjamin 9. Yak 10. Levert.

The crazy thing is ROTY went to Malcolm Brogdon who isn’t even on this list.
This is how bad all these rookies were in their first year lol
