Grizzlies: Projected 14th, 0.5% chance at #1
If the Grizzlies land the #1 overall pick they should take Anthony Edwards. For many teams this would be the ideal pick and for Memphis it’s no different. They need a back court pair other then Dillon Brooks for Ja Morant, and Edwards can and will be that guy.
Kings: Projected 13th, 1.2% chance at #1
If the Kings land the #1 overall pick they should take James Wiseman. While it is looking like Marvin Bagly may be more of a 5 then a 4, playing him out of position could still work if you pair him with Wiseman. It’s not the ideal fit, but neither Lamelo Ball or Anthony Edwards would fit in position wise with the Kings.
Pelicans: Projected 12, 1.3% chance at #1
If the Pelicans land the #1 overall pick they should take Lamelo Ball. Ball could become just another skilled ball handler named Ball, and another player to set up both Zion and Ingram. It’s a match made in heaven.
Spurs: Projected 11, 2% chance at #1
If the Spurs land the #1 overal pick, they should take Anthony Edwards. A backcourt if Edwards and Dejounte Murray would run the league. That has solid shooting, amazing D and the athleticism to cause problems for some time.
Suns: Projected 10, 3% chance at #1
If the Suns land the #1 overall pick they should take Anthony Edwards. While yes the Suns already have Booker, he could pair with Edwards and form a tall backcourt, or just let booker play the 3.
Wizards: Projected #9, 4.5% chance at #1
If the Wizardsd land the #1 overall pick they should take James Wiseman. With Ian Mahimi expiring this season, they need a center, and who better then the athletic stud Wiseman?
Hornets: Prokected 8, 6% chance at #1
If the Hornets land the #1 overall luck they should take James Wiseman. The Hornets have a huge hole at the center position and Wiseman can fill that easily. There is no reason not to take a player of his caliber of the Hornets get to jump up to 1.
Bulls: Projected 7, 7.5% chance at #1
If the Bulls land the #1 overall pick they should take Anthony Edwards. They can put Edwards or Lavine at the 3, and create an amazing back court squad with the 2 of them and Coby White.
Knicks: Projected 6, 9% chance at 1

Pistons: projected at 5, 10.5% chance at #1

Hawks: Projected at 4, 12% chance at #1
If the Hawks land the #1 overall pick they should take Anthony Edwards. Edwards can do everything in the backcourt and that’s what the Hawks need to pair up with Trae Young. It’s a match made in heaven.
Timberwolves: Projected at 3, 14% chance at #1
