The player i had hoped that they would take is Jordan Bell
I had Lonzo on a fast break going down the middle of the court with Nance, Jr on the left and Bell on his right dancing in my head. He could pass to either one of them and if they tried to block their shot, it could result in a broken hand.
I really really like who we got. Hartenstein got medically flagged, Bolden wasn't high character. So with that being considered, we drafted the next guys that I wanted.
Good amount of Kuzma, Hart, Bryant talk in the draft thread in the lead up
Not really. Anyone after the lottery is such a low chance of being relevant that I don't worry about it. As long as they have some reasonable skills (not a pure project) and are relatively athletic (aka have some upside), I'm pretty good. Used that logic with Nance when everyone was freaking out about him being a garbage pick, wanting Looney (OMG UCLA), Hunter, Christmas or Harrell instead and Nance is the only one who was actually a viable NBA player out of that group. Even Brown, the guy people liked more later on pretty much won't make it to a second contract.

Bingo. I trust our FO will have one or two productive players of the three drafted. I'm not sweating the rest.
