Just for discussion's sake..... want to get your opinion on a couple of different ways to look at this.
1. Who you think will leave after this year - most likely to least likely.
2. How good you think everybody on the roster will be in the NBA long-term.
3. In YOUR opinion, who should go after this year in their own interests? From best decision to worst decision.
Who will leave
1. Towns
2. Lyles
3. Harrison twins (grouping them together assuming they make the same choice)
4. WCS
5. Booker
6. Johnson
7. Poythress
8. Lee
9. Ulis
Best NBA career long-term
1. Towns - NBA All-Star
2. Lyles - 10+ year starter, possible All-Star, 15-7 guy.
3. WCS - Defensive stopper, long-time starter/rotation player.
4. Booker - Starter/rotation guy.
5. Andrew Harrison - Improving forecast. Could develop into starter long-term.
6. Johnson - May go in/out of roster spots but will put together years in the league, eventually.
7. Aaron Harrison - Long-term 6-8 guy on roster. Might take a while to earn that.
8. Poythress - Signed off and on, logs occasional minutes.
9. Ulis
10. Lee
Who SHOULD leave in their best interests?
1. Towns - Obvious.
2. Booker - Stock's as high as it gets. Fewer open shots every year from here on out, college or pro.
3. Lyles - See: Booker, except for forwards. Would draw tons of attention from defenses most other years.
4. Andrew Harrison - Honestly, think he's improved enough & needs to strike when iron will be hot.
5. WCS - He'll be a high pick, but he's really improving stock by staying--the exception.
6. Poythress - Risk of re-injury. Get money while he can.
7. Aaron Harrison
8. Johnson
