This draft could be fun and hard to predict.

That's all fine and dandy bit Roy is not the GM. He may have some input being that he is VP of Operations but in the end it's Sherman's call (with recommendations from his scouts).

Okay, nothing in life is certain, would it make you feel better if I said he has 99% chance of going first overall. Looking over the "experts" last few mock drafts (TSN, Bleacher Report, ESPN, etc.) all of them were correct with the #1 pick and most were correct top 3. Same experts all have Jones going 1st. There are a plethora of aforementioned reasons why Jones will go to the Avs, and no real concrete reasons why they'd pick MacKinnon.
