Mudiay isn't too high. PGs take forever to develop and he still has a chance to be good. Richaun Holmes >> Okafor, though.

I think Nance is going to be a top 10 player from this class. Limited upside but he will definitely be a net positive player.

lol I wish. Denver (not sure if other teams do this) gives creds and seats to different bloggers and most of their SBNation writers. I knew a guy who did that and tagged along. Only saw him and a couple others, but his was by far the worst.

Apparently LaVine was AMAZING the year prior.

GL making a 5-10 with guys who aren't "too high". winslow (who's too high) at least has the advantage of not having played most of last year. unfortunately he was the single worst offensive wing in the league in the time he did play.

There is KAT and there is everyone else as a prospect IMO. Future elite two way big man.

Big drop off

2) Emmanuel Mudiay
Has all the tools to be the next great lead guard. Good athlete, good defender, needs to work on shooting.
3) Justise Winslow
Does everything well, won't be a super star but will be a very good NBA player for a long time.
4) Jahlil Okafor
Will be a difference maker on the offensive side of the ball for a long time. Leaves a lot to be desired on defense.
5) D'Angelo Russell
Crafty, good passer, should be a good shooter as a pro-- needs to fill out more. I worry about his ability to get into the lane.
6) Willie Cauley Stein
Will be a great defensive big and a mediocre offensive player.
7) Stanley Johnson
In the mold of Winslow with more physicality and less playmaking ability. Has the potential to be a good two way player.

Another big drop off

8) Kelly Oubre
High ceiling and low floor. Needs to develop better ball handling skills and ability to get to the rim.
9) Devin Booker
Kid can shoot, but can he do anything else? Decent athlete with good size.
10) Trey Lyles
Projects as a good offensive power forward. Worried about defense.
11) Myles Turner
Quite a meh freshman year for a big prospect. Has potential to develop into a good offensive player who can block shoots though.
12) Frank Kaminsky
Developed into a hell of an offensive player. Quite versatile offensive game. Should stick in the NBA on his shooting alone.
13) Justin Anderson
Underrated prospect. Great athlete, not a good ball handler but if he can shoot like he did last year will be an NBA difference maker.
14) Jerian Grant
Besides being old whats not to like? Good but not great athlete. Good decision maker, good shooter, good passer. Wont be a star but is just very solid
15) Sam Dekker
Disappeared at times in college but theres a lot to like here. Needs assert himself more but he has the tools to be a good NBA SF.


16) Cameron Payne
Has a higher upside then Grant but much lower floor. Has a smooth game, can shoot but not sure he will be able to translate from mid major to NBA PG.
17) RJ Hunter
Reminds me of Booker but with a lower ceiling b/c of age.
18) Bobby Portis
Not a great defensive rebounder or defender but a good athlete who has a nice offensive game, still only 20 years old.
19) Rondae Hollis-Jefferson
As a prospect hes a poor mans MKG. Should be a good NBA defender. Will he do enough on offense to be a legit rotation guy?
20) Montrezl Harrell
Not an NBA starter but should be a good option off the bench. Good wingspan, can defend and is developing a decent offensive game.
21) Kevin Looney
Low floor but has a pretty good ceiling thanks to his shooting and good physical skills.
22) Tyus Jones
Gives me flashes of Shane Larkin (who I liked as a prospect). Has decent offensive potential though.


23) Terry Rozier
Tough nosed guard, who lacks PG and shooting skills. But has good defensive potential and great when he can get out and run.
24) Delon Wright
Old as heck but gets it done. Could be a decent backup PG tomorrow.
25) Rashad Vaughn
Offensive potential is def there. Not convinced he will get there though. Destined to be a chucker off the bench I think.

Bonus super sleeper pick: Dez Wells-- because Im biased and think he has *it*

Had troubled ranking 8-15, don't see a huge difference in ranking them. For Example I almost had Oubre as low as 15.
my writeups were good, my order was not, but at least I recognized a massive drop off after KAT.
