My Favorite Prospects in this year's NBA Draft 1.0


1 Ben Saraf - Ratiopharm Ulm - 6'6 Wing - 12 PPG, 5 APG, 3 RPG

Saraf is my favorite prospect in this class. He is a really talented scorer and playmaker, as he has shown so far this year at Ratiopharm Ulm. He gets to the rim and is a sneaky athlete at 6'6. He is a solid defender. His 3-point shooting is solid; he is shooting 22% but he is only taking three 3's a night. He's got a nice first step and really does a good job seeing the floor. With his skill as a primary ballhandler, he could potentially be a PG in the NBA.

Draft Projection: Mid 1st Round

2 Noa Essengue - Ratiopharm Ulm - 6'10 Power Forward - 12 PPG, 4 RPG, 1 APG

Essengue is a very talented big man prospect. He's a good athlete and is a great finisher. He plays smooth and with confidence. He is a versatile defender and distributes the ball well. He also has some upside as a shooter; he's shooting 28% on 2 attempts a night, but that needs to improve.

Draft Projection: Mid to Late 1st Round

3 Jalil Bethea - Miami - 6'4 Guard - 6.7 PPG, 2 RPG

Earlier in the year, Bethea was my favorite prospect. I loved his pullup game and playmaking ability. Now that he's only producing 6.7 PPG in 13 minutes per game for a struggling Miami team, I have moved him down on my Big Board. He has shown defensive upside and has shot it fairly well from deep. He has also shown that he can be a great playmaker. I still really like him as a prospect.
