2018 NBA MOCK DRAFT LOTTERY PICKS
| Team | Player | Position | ||
| 1 | Suns | DeAndre Ayton | C | The Suns have a big hole at the Center postion. Ayton is physicaly ready to dominate right away. He will need to learn how to become a rim protector but his overal skillset is too hard to pass up on. |
| 2 | Kings | Marvin Bagely | PF | Bagely has a really high floor because of his motor and leaping/rebounding ability. He will get you second chance oppertunites and put backs along with highlight reel alley oop dunks. He must work on moving his feet on defense. |
| 3 | Hawks | Mohamed Bamba | C | The hawks have along way to go but have the time to let Bamba develop his body and his offensive skillset. He will be a top 3 rim protector from day one. |
| 4 | Suns(T) | Luka Doncic | PG | The suns trade away mutilple picks, TJ Warren, and possibly more to move up for this second top 5 pick. Donic and new Suns coach Igor Kokoskov meshed well before and are a great match with the Suns. |
| 5 | Mavericks | Jaren Jackson Jr. | PF | The Mavs take JJJ for his rim protection and long term outlook. They wont win right way but he is another great building block to pair with Dennis Smith Jr. |
| 6 | Magic | Michael Porter Jr. | SF | Magic need a face of the franchise. Porter comes with huge risks following a back surgery in college. His reward though is All-star level. |
| 7 | Bulls | Wendell Carter | PF/C | The bulls seem to like Carter and believe he will thrive outside of Bagelys’ shadow. His game is a bit old school but his shooting stroke is really nice and shoud play in the modern NBA. |
| 8 | Cavaliers | Mikal Bridges | SF | It’s hard to know what the Cavs will do unitll Lebron decides. However, Bridges is a great 3 and D guy who should contribute right away. |
| 9 | Knicks | Trea Young | PG | The Knicks take Trea Young. He will be marketable, but this is definitely a high risk reward pick. His defense and size will always hold him back. |
| 10 | 76ers | Kevin Knox | SF | The Sixers need to keep adding shooters to spread the floor for Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid. They would love Mikal Bridges but Knox is a decent fit. |
| 11 | Hornets | Lonnie Walker | SG | Lonnie Walker will be a better pro than college player. He may bever be a star but at 11 overall this is great value. |
| 12 | Clippers | Miles Bridges | SF/PF | The clippers may lose Deandre Jorden. They just need to pick BPA. Miles Bridges is a very versatile athlete and can carve out a nice career. |
| 13 | Clippers | Collin Sexton | PG | Sexton is a hard player to project, but with a more developed outside shot he may turn into a steal. Doc Rivers will love his hard nosed mentality. |
| 14 | Nuggets | Robert Williams | PF/C | The nuggets take BPA with Robert Williams who wil be a decent two way players and a highlight reel in the Mile High City. |
