In the last hours leading up to the 2019 NBA Draft, the order continues to change due to late trades. And the order may not be set in stone just yet.

The Hawks made a big late move by jumping up to No. 4 and trading picks Nos. 8, 17 and 35 to the Pelicans in return.

Now that the draft has once again shifted, let's take a look at how we project the cards unfolding.

The Pelicans need a player to build around long-term with Anthony Davis on his way out. Williamson provides that as the clear-cut best player -- and prospect -- in this draft. At No. 1, New Orleans won't even bother getting cute by dangling this pick or listening to offers. Williamson is New Orleans-bound.

Drafting prolific college scorers doesn't guarantee said prolific college scorer will be a prolific NBA scorer. That is not the case with Barrett, who in NBA spacing should be an instant impact scorer right away. After scoring 860 points at Duke -- an ACC freshman record -- he's ready to become a young player the Knicks can build around regardless of whether or not they win big or strike out in free agency.

Like Phoenix, Chicago has been spinning its wheels trying to address its point guard conundrum. Enter White, UNC's one-and-done energetic star. He's a burst of energy who runs the floor at a frenetic pace, can score well off the catch, and is developing quickly as a passer. Anyone who can break a Michael Jordan record (he broke MJ's freshman scoring record at UNC) is a player worth considering with a high pick. And hey, Jordan worked out fine for the Bulls, wouldn't you say?

Washington's books are a mess largely because John Wall, the team's highest-paid player, will miss all of next season.

If the Hawks go wing at No. 8 with Reddish, they should think bigger -- literally. With uncertainty at center, Hayes provides a quality developmental option to put alongside burgeoning star John Collins. Hayes is ultra raw as an offensive weapon, but he can do two things at a high level: protect the rim and finish lobs. Trae Young would be an ideal lob-throwing fit for him.

The Heat are stuck in purgatory: good but not great, and with no real flexibility salary-wise. So Miami should swing for the fences here and hope to get an All-Star talent on a rookie deal. Little has a lot of untapped potential and was in an odd fit at UNC, but in the right system and right culture he has 3-and-D potential with defensive versatility Pat Riley craves.

The Jazz are looking to bolster their depth at point guard -- likely via a more experienced player -- but Bone is a low-risk flyer who can push the pace and shoot it.

Philadelphia's frontcourt depth was a problem in the postseason. And while Naz Reid isn't a defensive anchor who could sub in for Joel Embiid, his gifts as a floor-spacer and ability to shoot an above-the-break 3-pointer provides real value.

Freakish leaper, good dribbler for his size, plenty of skills for his size. Hoard has a lot of assets to work with and would be an excellent developmental piece for the Knicks.

It's rare to see a senior's stock rise substantially, but Cheatham's is blossoming notably because of his freakish leaping ability and versatility as a defender.

Atlanta's frontcourt situation is a mystery, so adding Gafford -- who, yes, would be a second big man in this draft -- would give the Hawks another productive big on a cheap deal.

Poole made a sophomore leap but still has plenty to show. He's an active offensive player who could give the Pels an off-ball weapon as a scorer, cutter and elite spot-up threat.

Masai Ujiri has shown no fear of gambling on players who require development. Zoosman is a project, but at 21, he's already a defensive menace flashing signs of developing into an NBA-caliber wing.

A four-year player at Florida State, Mann brings athleticism and experience to a young and exciting Kings team. If he can shoot 39% from 3-point range as he did his senior season, he could find a role in Sacramento as a bench scorer.
