Our sibling sites across SB Nation completed their annual NBA Blogger Mock Draft this week. We couldn’t make any trades, and instead had to wait for the first three picks to be selected and assess my options.
The first three selections were the ones most expect in this range: Anthony Edwards, James Wiseman, and LaMelo Ball. If Ball and Edwards were on the board at No. 4, I would have taken either one.
In terms of the draft strategy, I tried to employ the one which Arturas Karnisovas hinted that his Bulls would do on lottery night, simply going with the best player available.
