Nikola Jovic or EJ Liddell drafted first: Jovic (-130).

Bennedict Mathurin draft position: Over 6.5 (-135), meaning taken after the 6th spot.

Detroit has a lot of optionality here, though, since Cunningham can make easy fits for most archetypes others I like include Dyson Daniels (+800), AJ Griffin (+2000), and Johnny Davis (+4000).ДraftKings provides odds for a few more categories as well, so here are my favorite value picks for each: This is a spot that I really like for Sharpe because the pairing next to Cade Cunningham makes way too much sense. ThereвЂ™s been, however, a lot of talk around league sources that the Kings should - and are likely to - forget fit and just take the overwhelming talent that Ivey is, so thatвЂ™s what weвЂ™ll do here as well. Reports make it seem unlikely that the Kings will remain at 4 and make this pick themselves, but even if they do, itвЂ™s a pretty weird spot for them to be.ДЄssuming the top 3 is the three forwards and it goes chalk, Ivey is the clear best player available here, though his uncertain shooting outlook doesnвЂ™t look great next to mostly-non-shooter DeвЂ™Aaron Fox, not to mention both of them like to get downhill and work from there, which can clog up the court. Hard to see them going any other direction. They have a few young, skilled guards already in the fold, such as 2021вЂ™s second overall pick Jalen Green, as well as Kevin Porter Jr., and former Arizona State first round pick Josh Christopher.ДЄnd theyвЂ™re lucky enough to be all but guaranteed their shot at one of the three star-caliber frontcourt prospects, most likely to be Paolo Banchero, who should fit well alongside last yearвЂ™s first round forward, Alperen Sengun. HoustonвЂ™s also in a pretty advantageous position picking at three. Just because of the value from the Ivey selection as well as the uncertainty at the top, this could be the best call if youвЂ™re looking for a big payout. Some scouts prefer Ivey to C Chet Holmgren. There is, however, a rumor floating around that lends itself to a pretty awesome value pick:ДЄccording to keep an ear out for the #Thunder having potential interest in #NBADraft SG Jaden Ivey at #2. and Holmgren, so if they stick with a two-man race themselves, they just have to pick the one left after Orlando picks. OKC is pretty lucky in that they seem to be pretty high on the two of Smith Jr. Second overall pick - Oklahoma City Thunder

LetвЂ™s make some money and go with the value pick thatвЂ™s still very realistic. His strong workout leads many to believe heвЂ™ll be the pick, hence his billing as the favorite. reportedly performed excellently in his workout in Orlando his only other workout during the draft process will be with Oklahoma City, who holds the second pick. Holmgren visited Orlando a week ahead of the draft. Holmgren would be my pick if I were running the show in Orlando, and thatвЂ™s due in part to the time he spent playing in high school alongside last yearвЂ™s top 5 pick by Orlando, guard Jalen Suggs, who also played one year at Gonzaga. and GonzagaвЂ™s Chet Holmgren, both of whom are big men, though Smith is much more of a perimeter-oriented shotmaker than Holmgren, who profiles as a generational defender at the center spot thanks mostly to length and timing. The days of the Phoenix Suns picking in the top 5 of the NBA Draft are thankfully long behind us at this point, but there are still ways to get in on the action.ДЄs part of a continued partnership with DraftKings Sportsbook, weвЂ™ll go over the favorites to go at each spot in the top 5 as well as what I consider to be the best bet to make.ДЄs the odds indicate, itвЂ™s widely considered to be a two-man race for the top pick in this draft between AuburnвЂ™s Jabari Smith Jr.
