That´s either Mara or Lendeborg, but OKC specifically needs a cheap competitor for Wembanyama, which makes Mara more valuable to them than Lendeborg.
Also there is always the danger of GS doing a win-now trade that enables another team to jump into #11. Utah with Markkanen would obviously be no threat to pick Mara, but maybe there is a darkhorse.
We can only hope Atlanta does not pick Mara. At least we should be a little safer from OKC just trading up to the Hawks spot, cause the Mavs are a wildcard regarding Atlanta´s target. Atlanta wants Burries, Flemings or Ament, they can´t just do the trade down, cause they don´t know what Masai will do.
