NBA DRAFT BIG BOARD
- Luka Doncic- Point forward Real Madrid: Many don’t know the guy because he played overseas and is viewed as a bit of an unknown, but nothing can be further from the truth. He won MVP for real Madrid against established professionals, and has all the skills and intangibles to become a great NBA Player. He has experience, he has a tremendous IQ, he is a slick and creative passer, he can create his own shot and he plays with an edge. Think a combination of Manu and Harden. He is a mediocre athlete, but I can overlook that due to his high basketball IQ.
- Marvin Bagley- PF Duke: He has his flaws, but you can just watch this guy and immediately see his immense talent. He has been the best player on every court he has stepped on since he was 8 years old. So what makes him so special? For one, he plays extremely hard and has the athleticism to match his effort. He has an incredible first step, is a crafty finisher around the rim, and attacks the offensive and defensive glass. He just stands out. He has his limitations on defense and his jumper looks like a work in progress, but I believe in him.
- DeAndre Ayton- C Arizona: The guy is a physical freak. He is a legit 7 footer with a long wingspan who can also shoot plus has the athleticism that NBA teams desire. It is all there physically, but mentally his work ethic and defensive instincts and intelligence are in question. Great talent, hope he puts it all together.
- Mo Bamba- C Texas: Physically he is a freak of nature like anything I have ever seen. He has the longest wingspan ever recorded at the combine, while also showing the ability to shoot and very good instincts and shot blocking ability at the defensive end. He has tremendous amounts of potential to be Rudy Gobert with a jumpshot.
- Mikal Bridges- SF Villanova: Ideal fit for the modern NBA. Can shoot the three and is a very good perimeter defender. Good athlete, and is a very accomplished college player. He will be a very good pro.
- Trae Young- PG Oklahoma: He is a very flashy and exciting, but polarizing prospect. He took College Basketball by storm with his amazing shot making and vision, as he led the country in points and assists. But he is undersized and has a tough time with turnovers. He could be 75% of Steph Curry or he could be Trey Burke.
- Jaren Jackson Jr- C Mich State- I doubt his star potential, but his floor is very high. He can switch on defense and will be able to protect the rim, as well as hit the occasional three. I just don’t see the offensive ceiling at other people see. I see him as a Serge Ibaka type.
- Collin Sexton- PG Alabama: A guy that will stick around in the league due to his aggressive scoring style and his ferocious defense and competitiveness. He may be a little raw in terms of overall skill, but he is a hard worker who will be in the league for a while.
- Michael Porter Jr- F Missouri: I see why people love him. He has tremendous size to go along with a smooth jump shot and descent athleticism. But his flaws scare me to death. I see an isolation scorer with tunnel vision who is lazy on defense and has serious injury concerns. I can see him carving out a role as a Gallinari type of player, but never the star he could have been.
- Wendell carter jr- PF Duke: Carter does everything pretty well, but is a master of none, which leads me to think that he is going to be a solid role player in the league. He can pass, defend, rebound, and can score a little, but he never jumps off the screen in any way.
- Robert Williams C Texas A&M
- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander PG Kentucky
- Kevin Knox SF Kentucky
- Lonnie Walker PG Miami
- Miles Bridges SF Mich State
- Zhaire Smith SF Texas Tech
- Donte Divencenzo SG Villanova
- Khyri Thomas PG Creighton
- Jerome Robinson G Boston College
- Jalen Brunson PG Villanova
