Then there’s the Celtics at NBA Live Mobile Coins No. 3, where the choice looks like it will be
between Jackson and Jayson Tatum. The Suns have to be thrilled with the
Celtics-Sixers swap because it appears to give them a better shot at Jackson,
who would offer the two-way versatility they need. The Kings are sitting at No.
5 just hoping De’Aaron Fox is still available. We’ll finally know how it all
shakes out on Thursday.
Until then, here’s our latest mock:1. Philadelphia 76ers - Markelle Fultz,
G, Washington Related Markelle Fultz Is the NBA Mobile Coins Star Philly Needs The trade up to
No. 1 is a no-brainer for the Sixers. After drafting approximately 200 big men
in a row, Philadelphia gets the best guard prospect to hit the draft since at
least Kyrie Irving in 2011. Fultz is at his best with the ball in his hands, but
he also has the size, scoring instincts, and shooting range to play off the ball
alongside Ben Simmons.
A core of Fultz, Simmons, and Joel Embiid has the potential to be absolutely
special. The Process is over; long live The Process. 2. Los Angeles Lakers -
Lonzo Ball, PG, UCLAThe Lakers are thinking small if they really take Josh
Jackson over Lonzo Ball. That’s where I am now. Jackson is a great fit on paper:
he’s the type of big, versatile wing every team wants, and he’d also be a
superior defensive presence next to Brandon Ingram and D’Angelo Russell. Jackson
will be a good NBA player. Lonzo Ball can be a great one.
Our guy J.Z. Mazlish wrote a compelling contrarian case for Ball over Fultz
as the best player in the Mmogo draft last week. My favorite point from that: Ball’s
dominance is so unique that it’s hard for a lot of people to comprehend. Stephen
Curry and Draymond Green were once the same way. Subscribe to Good Morning It’s
