Pretty good question.

I think the only thing im sure on is that Mitchell/Gobert is last. Although that is still a killer duo.

Im leaning PG/Russ. One is a former MVP, the other is an MVP candidate. Both of them play D.

You're getting 51 ppg and 15 apg and 11 rpg out of Harden/CP3, and 50 ppg, 15 apg, and 18 rpg out PG/Russ. Factor in the defense and the OKC duo gets the nod.

Id pick AD/Jrue with the 3rd pick.

interesting article on tatum this morning

The same possibility has to have occurred to Tatum. He has been linked in trade rumors to Anthony Davis all season, and he hasn’t taken it nearly as hard as his peers on the Lakers. Tatum wouldn’t have to share the ball on the Pelicans, who would likely begin a full rebuild if they trade Davis. He would get the chance to be the primary option, and he wouldn’t have players like Kyrie scolding him for hunting for his own shot. Young players who start their careers on elite teams have a hard time understanding how difficult it is to get to that level. It’s just normal to them. Tatum was the leading scorer on a team that was a few plays away from making the NBA Finals.

The problem for Tatum is that embracing his inner Middleton is his only path toward being an elite player. He can’t afford to have any holes in his game. He doesn’t have the same physical gifts as the best wings in the NBA. Tatum doesn’t have the length of Giannis, the height of Kevin Durant, the frame of Kawhi Leonard, or the explosiveness of Paul George. He’s built more like Otto Porter Jr. He has the size, shooting, and ballhandling ability to create his own shot whenever he wants, but there are dozens of players in the league who can do that. Tatum needs to take the most efficient shots on the floor, and he needs to learn how to read and manipulate the defense. There is no reason that he can’t
