Ideal player at each draft position

I realize it's been a pretty bad season (probably the worst in the Process era) and with the rough stretch of games we are at where we can easily go 1-9, I would like to think that we are silently embracing the tank while letting Joel rest (and hopefully shut him down for the season). Assuming as get to keep our pick, I would like to know this sub's preference for players at each draft position that we might land at from 1 to 6 (since that's the only protection we have). This will be my preference based on where we land in the draft:

  • Pick #1: Cooper Flagg PF/SF - I really like Cooper and his skillset compliments this current team the best. He can slide in at the PF position allowing PG to "not get bored" and guard perimeter players.
  • Pick #2: Ace Bailey - Offensively, he's basically replacing PGs role here. He's a wing and has TMac potential and has defensive tools to be a two way (I think). One of his criticism is his decision making and is known to be a bit of a ball hog which is concerning since we don't have a real PG.
  • Pick #3: I don't really know if I will be happy with a #3 pick if Ace is not available. Dylan Harper is supposed to be a consensus top 3 pick but he's a PG and we have two PG who look like will be pillars of our present and future. Maybe trade down depending on how the season goes?
  • Picks #4, #5, and #6: I'm really looking at players who can play the SF or PF position. The players I am looking at at no particular order are:
    • Asa Newell: I've seen him and and down draft rankings, but for what he offers, he seems to be a capable player that will play the 4 and can feed off our superstarts but can also play the backup Center role which for years we can never get right
    • Egor Demin: A playmaking SF (Best passer in the draft), that may be exactly what we need to fit alongside McCain and Maxey. His shooting has been an issue so having a taller Josh Giddy is a concern.
    • Kon Knueppel: Albeit limited with his shot making ability, he brings high IQ plays and fills a need at shooting

I am sure the comments will all be positive lol. Honestly, I just want to have fun with it and be hopeful like the good old process days.
