Celtics (via Nets). Markelle Fultz, PG, Washington
The fit couldn't be better. Fultz next to Isaiah Thomas in that backcourt is a study in complements, taking the sixth-ranked offense in the league to untold heights.
76ers. Lonzo Ball, PG, UCLA
While Ben Simmons conceivably can be the point guard, he shouldn't have to be, and bringing in the kind of distributor Ball is -- generational -- is going to unleash Simmons, Joel Embiid and the cast of rapidly emerging Sixers on an expedited timetable. Ball will thrive with talent around him and the Sixers suddenly have plenty of that.
Lakers. Jonathan Isaac, SF, Florida State
Have seen him going lower, I don't think that holds. Not when he's turned so many of his tools into skills already, stands 6-foot-11, and offers both a high floor and possibly the highest ceiling in the entire draft.
Heat. Lauri Markkanen, PF, Arizona
A stretch four to pair with Hassan Whiteside at the five will allow Miami to let Markkanen develop on a more reasonable time frame, not asking him to guard fives or rim protect.
Pelicans. Dennis Smith, PG, N.C. State
Is Jrue Holiday the true second option to pair with Anthony Davis? Buddy Hield has improved since his awful start, but he profiles more as a secondary shooter than a legit wingman to AD. If the Pelicans don't think Holiday can be that guy, they have to take a chance on letting Smith elevate the Davis Era to where it deserves to be.
Suns. Robert Williams, PF/C, Texas A&M
Here's what you do with Williams: you let him learn from Tyson Chandler, split time with Alex Len, and if Williams becomes what I think he will, he probably supplants them both.
Mavericks. Frank Ntilikina, PG, France
The Mavs take the plunge on the international star who could be their cornerstone, since there aren't many other obvious paths for them to navigate the post-Dirk era that's coming, sooner or later.
Magic. Malik Monk, PG/SG, Kentucky
Time to give Elfrid Payton a legit running partner in that backcourt.
Nuggets. Jayson Tatum, SF, Duke
The Nuggets don't seem sold on Kenneth Faried, and Tatum makes more sense in terms of building around Nikola Jokic anyway, which is the only timetable that should matter in Denver.
Kings. De'Aaron Fox, PG, Kentucky
Think the 25th-ranked defense could use a stopper at the one for a league already overrun with top point guards, with more on the way? Fox can be that kind of defender right away. The shooting is an issue, but he's a blur in the open court, a legit playmaker and can score and create in a variety of ways.
