The Ideal 2016 Prospect for Each NBA Lottery Team

Every team will enter the 2016 NBA draft with a wish list of high-priority targets.

The ideal prospect for each franchise fills a specific need and offers maximum talent relative to where the pick is in the lottery.

For teams drafting outside the top two, LSU's Ben Simmons and Duke's Brandon Ingram are ineligible here, given the unlikelihood they're available at No. 3 and beyond.

Starting at No. 9, Croatia's Dragan Bender, California's Jaylen Brown, Oklahoma's Buddy Hield, Providence's Kris Dunn and Kentucky's Jamal Murray are off-limits, assuming none of these five will get past the Sacramento Kings at No. 8.
