This is a tough decision. I’ve narrowed it down to 3 guys. A PG, SG, and a PF.

Hield is interesting since we now know he's actually a year older than we thought on draft day... the dude is already 26! That's an entire 5 years older than fellow draftee Brandon Ingram

I will go with Jamal Murray. He’s 6’4”, good size for a pg. He’s only 21 years old and already a leader on one of the top teams in the league.
(This Pick makes me wish I’d gone with Jokic.) Murray - Oubre - SF - PF - Embiid

Tough one for me, I feel like I gotta go Ingram or sabonis but I'm not. Give me Levert Wow, wouldn't take him Top 8. No disrespect to him, just a really good year. Between Sabonis, Hield, Ingram, Brown, Siakam, the other Murray who was 1st all defense. Great talents on good teams.

Heild is too old for me but other than him all the guys you named have compelling arguments. Just think Levert has the best chance of being an allstar than the rest. I think he may have made it this year if he stayed healthy.

He definitely would have. The GM of the Nets hsve done a good job with the cards stacked against him. Russell - Dinwiddie - LeVert - Hollis Jefferson - Allen - Kurucs - Harris

I love Levert game, reminds a bit of Paul George, altough he is 2 years late, that doesn't mean he won't reach that all start status.
My only problem is that he had a major surgery in college, and now has another one in front of him, he is only 24 but already had more/worse injuries than most players in the NBA. And I'm taking that into account.

Would love to pick Malcolm Brogdon but he's 26 too.
I'll pick Jaylen Brown.
