Cooper Flagg is legit. The defense is ridiculously good, the passing instincts are there, and the shot making has so much potential. He is not a lock for the #1 spot on my board, but he is gonna be at that spot for now.

VJ Edgecombe is actually awesome. I was a little worried that I wouldn’t like him before I watched him, but now he is one of my favourite prospects so far. He has the upside to be one of the best scorers/most fun to watch players in the NBA. People are going to love him because of his athleticism and tough shot making ability.

Egor Demin is officially the first player I can consider “my guy” for this draft class. Awesome size for a wing, great passing vision and execution, good at getting to his spots, can finish around the rim, has the upside to be a great three point shooter, and has excellent instincts on defense. He is a sneaky candidate to be the #1 prospect on my board.

Nolan Traore looks really good. Excellent at creating shots and puts in lots of effort on defense. I really like his passing as well. There are some things he needs to work on, but he could sneak into the #1 spot on my board with a good season.

I really like Hugo Gonzalez. The shot creation and shot making ability are arguably the best in this class so far, at least for the wings. He also is an awesome defender with lots more upside on that end. He COULD be a sneaky #1 prospect candidate for me, but he is more likely going to be a top 5-7 guy, with the only thing keeping him from being a top 5 lock is the amount of talent in this draft class

Dylan Harper looks good! I don’t like him quite as much as the consensus does, but I can definitely see a world where he takes the #1 spot on my big board with a strong season. He has so much potential and plays with a poise that high schooler don’t usually have.

Ace Bailey is a wildcard for me right now. There is a lot I do not like with him, but he also has so much upside as a big wing shot creator. He could be a guy who lands in my top three and he could be a guy who doesn’t crack the top ten. Time will tell which direction he goes in for me.

Dink Pate looks interesting. I don’t like him nearly as much as I do Egor Demin, but he does have similar upside as a big wing who does interesting stuff with the ball in his hands.

Collin Murray-Boyles is awesome. If he had entered the draft last year, I would’ve ranked him in my top ten. The same can be said for this year. He is easily a lottery guy and should have contending teams wanting to get him.

Khaman Maluach is another wild card on my board. He has so much potential as a defender and could be a top five guy for me. He also could just be purely an upside swing and not be ranked in my lottery.

The last guy I want to talk about is Noa Essengue. He is still raw and needs time to develop. The upside is actually insane though. The athleticism combined with the potential as a shot maker and passer make him a guy who could be top five for me.
