Now that all of these players are finishing up their rookie contracts, given the 2018 draft is one of the more interesting drafts, and that I just like re-drafts (redrafts?) I'm curious what SOSH thinks.
Here is the draft order: https://www.basketball-reference.com/draft/NBA_2018.html
This article was made in September but a lot has changed since then.

I'm not sure there is a consensus 2, but maybe it is Trae Young? I'm just doing the lottery. My list will be controversial, I'm sure. I'm also sure I overlooked someone as this draft has a lot of depth.
Here's my list
1. Luka: Obvious
2. SGA: I love Young but his defense is problematic and it's a length issue. SGA has no such problems and I think he's one of the more underrated players in the league. I never really thought about it before, but he'd be great with the Jays. I guess you can say that about a lot of players.
3. Young:
4. Miles: This is where I probably start to really lose people. I'm a buyer.
5. MPJ: And lose everyone else here. His shot is so nice though. His D, eww.
6. Ayton: I'm sure some have him higher but I think his impact is limited in today's game unless he adds the 3.
After this it gets really hard and a lot of it is based on early play to date. It also depends on how much you value stretch bigs vs wings vs Smalls.
7. Mikal: Limited by his age but he's a really solid player.
8. JJJ: He'd might be higher if not for last year's injury. I'd like to see how he's playing a bit further out from now.
9. WCJ: He's been productive out of the gate and has slowly extended his range. He's also passing a bit more in the early going.
10. Bamba: Looks like a completely different player. I can get this one being argued because he was pretty dreadful the last 3. Can't teach a 7'10 wingspan. He's also hitting 3s.
11. Time Lord: I'd say it's homerism but that site has him 8th. Traditional energy bigs still have a place in the NBA, and at this time in the draft, it's mostly personal choice.
12. Duncan Robinson: The 3 point shot is really valuable.
13. Sexton: The 3 point shot is really valuable.
14. Graham. Honestly didn't know who to pick at this point so I went with Graham. I'm tempted to go with Simons because he's young.
Other notables: Gary Trent, Huerter, Donte, Grayson Allen, Anfernee Simons, Brunson, Milton. Others I'm possibly forgetting.
