My top 10 in revised order (numbers showing original rank):
1. Nikola Jokic, 28yo rating:75.74
2. Joel Embiid, 29yo rating:75.66
8. Bam Adebayo, 25yo rating:60.77
4. Jaren Jackson Jr., 23yo rating:62.87
3. Anthony Davis, 30yo rating:70.08
17. Deandre Ayton, 24yo rating:54.42
9. Rudy Gobert, 30yo rating:59.99
28. Walker Kessler, 21yo rating:46.67
6. Domantas Sabonis, 27yo rating:61.37
22. Myles Turner, 27yo rating:50.22

Ya, Turner was terrible last year defensively. His reputation is coming from previous seasons. Here are the defensive rankings. Take with a grain of salt players like Koloko who started few games.
The more I slice and dice this, either Kat or Naz should be our #1 target, especially with Gobert as redundancy in MIN.
