1. Steph... what's to say that hasn't been said already, nobody comes in with that well developed offensive game ever and he's got the top pot to match? He's the chosen one
2. Kemba... Cardiac Kemba is fringe inside and defense, rebounding isn't far off either, close to C+ B C+ C+ C to start as an 18 year old with A pot, should be super athletic, going to be a offensive engine forsure
3. Dame... 18 so 2 chances to boost, already has elite potential, and a fantastic base, could be really special offensively
4. Jimbo... not too far off from B- B- C B C, 19 so he has a chance to boost, has A pot, little worried at what could happen if he doesn't boost or he pot tanks in his one teenage TC, but he's worth the dice roll, super valuable to have a 2-way wing with all the powerful wings in the league at the moment
5. J.R. Smith... this is where things get difficult but I like JR as a hedge against swinging for the fences on a raw but super promising athletic guy who lacks skill (DRose and DeMar and Ibaka etc). Maybe you don't have a franchise center piece but you also probably don't swing and miss on a top 5 pick here and you get a guy who can be a solid 2nd or 3rd option for you, it's sort of like hitting a double instead of a home run, but many teams can't afford to strikeout this high in the lottery, so that's my thinking here. His pot is still top 12, and he's got a well developed inside and outside game already, solid handles and rebounding, and fringe C+ / B- defense, so he's ready for day 1 and he's still likely to improve for a couple years. He is older at 23 but he can play. That's my rationale here.
