There are a couple of Euros, Porzingis, and Mario Hezonja. I havn't seen much on Hezonja on this board, but he is top 10 in all the mock drafts, sometimes ahead of Porzingis. How would Hezonja look at small forward, being 6'8" and reportedly a great shooter? I think Russell will be gone when we pick.
From what little I've seen on YouTube, I really like his game.

There has been some discussion about Hezonja in this thread, papal, but I'll summarize my thoughts for you. Hezonja is actually more of a SG, although he could play SF too, and is one of the most offensively skilled players in this draft. Check out some video...you'll be impressed. I was on the bandwagon until I read up on him...turns out he's a world class jerk. Whines and pouts if things don't go his way, and gets on his teammates if they don't play up to his standards. I can't imagine Flip taking a chance on a guy with his issues.

Sounds like an NBA superstar to me!
(and don't worry, we have the endless reserve of KG's wisdom to fix the whining and pouting).
