Sexton is really good.

But MPJ? He doesn't fall behind Sexton. That would be a little crazy, IMO.
I wouldn't expect it, but if MPJ struggles in the NCAA tourney and people are still worried about his injury he could slip out of the top 5. Maybe it's Young, Bagley, Bamba, or one of the Bridges that soars ahead of Porter instead, I'm just trying to think of a way for the Kings to get him despite beating all the other tank teams and probably failing to get a top 5 pick.

I think your best chance to get him will be hitting that lotto. MPJ is playing with house money, IMO. Just seeing him on the court helps his draft stock even if he doesn't play all that well. The talent is obvious regardless of the short term results.

That's my fear, maybe the Kings not obviously tanking will give them some good draft lotto karma. If he's not there then next best option for a wing would be Mikal Bridges who I think can be a good 3&D guy even if he doesn't have superstar potential like MPJ.

Outside of obviously wanting Ayton...

I would go Bamba, Sexton, Mikal for the Clippers.

I'm terrified of MPJ, Doncic being busts or oft-injured.

Ayton, MPJ, and Doncic are at the top for me when it comes to the Kings but there's a good chance they go 1-3.

@trojanfan12 ever been to a subway shop called Jeff's Place in Perris?

I know it's not far from Hemet. Heading there in a little bit.
