Who would you like us to draft assuming we keep the 12th pick?
First, we can say this was both a successful and disappointing season. Let's hope that we make it next year.
Anyways, currently we have the 12th pick, and have a 93.5% chance to stay at 12. We have a 3.9% chance to move back, and a 2.5% chance to move into the top 3. (a 1% chance at 3rd, a 0.8% chance at 2nd and a 0.7% chance at 3rd.) So assuming we stay at 12th, who would you like us to select with our pick?
#DraftExpress:
DraftExpress had the most accurate mock drafts last season, including being one of the few that correctly believed we'd draft Lyles. Currently, they have us picking Timothe Luwawu. He's a french SF who uses his body to get to the basket, and is a good defender. He'd be a very good second man to Hayward, and would have less struggles scoring with the floor opened up in a second unit with Lyles, Mack, and Burks.

NBADraft.net hasn't been as accurate historically, but has a nice way to visualize things. Currently, it has us selecting Dejounte Murray. He's a 6-5 PG/SG out of Washington. He's not very strong, but his quickness and ball handling make up for it. I'm not sure how he'd fit into our team right now, especially with our current 5 man guard rotation.

Chad Ford has infamously changed his mock drafts years after they take place, to up his credibility, however it destroyed it. That said, he still typically knows what he's talking about. He has us taking Furkan Korkmaz. Korkmaz is a 6-7 SG who struggles a bit defensively, but is a good shooter, very athletic, and a well rounded player. NBADraft.net lists his comparison as G-Time.

So what do you guys think? I personally am digging the thought of Timothe Luwawu after watching his Strengths/Weaknesses video from DE. I think he'd fit in really well with our guys off the bench, although if Jaylen Brown somehow slipped to us, I'd pick him in a heartbeat.
