My top 14 (lottery):
Tier 1
1a. AJ Dybantsa
1b. Cameron Boozer
Tier 2
3. Caleb Wilson
4. Darius Acuff Jr.
5. Darryn Peterson
6. Mikel Brown Jr.
Tier 3
7. Brayden Burries
8. Kingston Flemings
9. Keaton Wagler
10. Nate Ament
11. Aday Mara
12. Morez Johnson
13. Yaxel Lendeborg
14a. Cameron Carr
14b. Hannes Steinbach
One thing I'm very confident about, maybe the only thing... Is that picks 5-9 will not all be Guards.
Overall, this mock of yours is about as close as I can get to my own thinking. I'm not sure where I would put Aday Mara though. I just don't know what team is going to want a player who simply may not be able to play 25 mpg yet (or ever). He is the one player that almost has to go to a team based on a very specific need at center.
