5. 67. . . SF/PF. Jonathan Isaac

Sacramento is begging to land Fox at the fifth pick, but I’m not to sold he will be there at the pick.

Dennis Smith Jr. might get some love here if Fox is off the board, but I’m going with Jonathan Isaac with the 10th pick still in my back pocket.

The Kings are losing Rudy Gay on the wing and now have a glaring hole alongside of Buddy Hield. In a draft with three solid wing prospects, Sacramento could get their wing guy at the fifth pick.

Isaac is a 6’11” wing player that can guard positions 1-4 on the basketball court. He would step in for the Kings and be their long-term answer at the three or four.

. . PG. Dennis Smith Jr.. 6. 38

Where some teams have glaring holes among their roster, Orlando can go anywhere on draft night as Aaron Gordon is the closest thing to a star on their roster.

Jayson Tatum could get some love here, but I’m going with the uber athletic Dennis Smith Jr. to the Magic.

Elfrid Payton is still an intriguing young player moving forward, but some have already cast the ship on him. Getting Smith Jr. at six would give the new management someone to build around going forward running the show.

Next: 7-8
