After the conclusion of the Summer League, would all the NBA teams stick with their draft picks, or do they reconsider their draftees after a few short weeks of play? Here is a redrafting of the first half of the first round.

NOTE:  All trades stay and no trades are added.

1. Markelle Fultz, G, 76ers – Even with the injury and the anti-social aspect of his locker room presence, he still has the highest upside. His offensive game is so deadly on the drive, with his spin move or as a spot-up shooter. But the thing that makes him so good is his versatility, as he can lead a team in rebounding one game, scoring the next and assists the night after.
2. Lonzo Ball, G, Lakers – He has collected a lot of added heat because of his father and what he continually is saying to the media. Not only has he navigated the murky waters excellently, he has preformed like a stud. His shooting and defense will get better, but what is truly special is the way he sees the floor. When he turns his head after receiving an inbounds pass, he sees everyone on the floor, where everyone is and how they are spaced along with where to go with the ball. His vision is incredible and is his biggest asset.
3. Dennis Smith Jr., G, Celtics – This works for the Celtics a couple ways. The primary reason to take him is the best player available philosophy, as he seems to be living up to the most-athletic-in-the-draft hype. His speed when getting down the floor and driving to the basket is comparable only to John Wall. Another reason to bring him in is giving the Celtics another offensive threat at guard. With Gordon Hayward at forward, they will be solid from top to bottom. He also gives the Celtics leverage. If Smith plays like a rookie of the year, this team no longer needs to max out for Isaiah Thomas.
4. Jayson Tatum, F, Suns – Tatum is a great scoring threat and can play small forward or power forward in a small-ball set. He is a great shooter who can play off the ball. He has such a high ceiling because of where he already is at on the offensive side of the ball that the defensive side cannot hold him off the floor. That said, he is far from a liability. He is big enough and long enough to get into passing lanes and grab boards. All around, this is one of the more complete players and a good fit for a young Suns team.
5. De’Aaron Fox, G, Kings – He still goes here because the Kings love him and he is perfect for what they need. He is a ball handler with great defense who will make the other players around him better.
6. Bam Adebayo, F, Magic – The most Orlando move in the world would be to draft a power forward/center that they already have too many of after a great Summer League. Adebayo played really well in the paint and got after the glass on both ends. The only way this gets more Orlando Magic-like is if he was from Europe.
7. Josh Jackson, F, Chicago – With the pick acquired from Minnesota, Jackson helps ease the collective pain of Bulls fans after Jimmy Butler’s departure. Jackson helps patch up the defense with his ability to stick on opposing offensive threats. On offense, he crashes the boards and drives hard to the basket, along with an impressive dunk reel from his collegiate days. This is the pick that keeps the Butler trade from being a disaster.
8. Malik Monk, G, Knicks – Monk is a top-10 pick with incredible shooting that enables him to launch from deep. His length makes him difficult to defend and near impossible to shoot over when he plays his man well. While his defensive game will be stretched in the pro game, this is another player who can do enough offensive damage to compensate.
9. Donovan Mitchell, G, Mavericks –  After Ball, Fox and Smith leave the board, the Mavs still need a guard with offensive teeth, so they take the shooting of Mitchell that lit up Summer League and was highly touted at Louisville. The pick still keeps the Mavericks roster versatile and gives the team a viable scorer.
10. Lauri Markkanen, F, Trail Blazers – Despite his timid rebounding, the lengthy power forward still gives the Portland squad much-needed scoring in the frontcourt. This team is desperate for a difference maker from one of their forward spots, and with Markkanen’s shooting up front, the C.J. McCollum/Damian Lillard back court finally gets some space to breathe.
11. John Collins, F, Hornets – This man flew all over the court in Summer League, cleaning up the boards, rim running in transition and staying involved when on the floor. He is an enjoyable player to watch and really does a lot inside that makes him a great early pick. He is athletic and has a motor that keeps running all game. He pairs well with Kemba Walker and would be great in the pick-and-roll with Walker.
12. Jonathan Isaac, F, Pistons – Detroit finally gets a prolific scoring option in Isaac — someone for Reggie Jackson to pass to and a consistent enough shooter to pull the defense away from Andre Drummond in the paint. A great fit after a drop for Isaac.
13. Luke Kennard, G, Jazz – While Kennard’s position fluctuated in college, having him play the one or two spot works for Utah. Either he shoots off a Ricky Rubio pass or runs the offense with the second unit. The important thing for the Jazz is having a potent enough backcourt to keep Rudy Gobert free down low and hope he can reach All-Star heights as the primary scorer.
14. Zach Collins, C, Heat – While listed as a center, he is really a flux power forward who can clean up the floor and do a little bit of everything. While finding the next Draymond Green is probably impossible, Collins is a fair attempt and would be a nice piece to pair with Justise Winslow.
15. Justin Jackson, G, Kings – Yes, it is boring to keep Sacramento at the same place in the fake draft as they were in the real one. However, they fell head over heels for Fox, and any other fit gets taken before 16. The team does not need any more big men down low, and Jackson is a solid shooter, getting better year after year from deep, while staying long on the perimeter for the defensive end. Both picks work for the Kings.
