Which is actually a pretty strong top 10. The latter five are not a large drop off from the guys going at #3 or #4 like Ivey or Davis. They all have potential Star upside. In fact 3-10 is up in the air draft wise depending on the teams needs.

Then the next tier of prospects are

Jalen Duren
Kendall Brown
Ochai Acbaji

These are the guys who look like they have great upside as well. Acbaji is a senior but looks like he might legit be a great player in the league like Desmond Bane. Duren is a freak but hard to pin down what he’ll be in the league. Brown is a raw SF, a bit lazy, but the upside is there if he gets over his motor issues.

Then the next tier of players that have limited upside but they have high floors. They might develop into great players but it will take a while. They should be able to get consistent minutes early.

MarJon Beauchamp
Dyson Daniels
Christian Braun
Nikola Jovic
Wendell Moore
Tari Eason

After that I have the wild card picks of guys who show really tantalizing ceilings but are a bit raw like Josh Minott or in Fosters case a bit flawed due to his height but very skilled.

Josh Minott
Michael Foster

After that I think this draft gets real iffy. Basically just take a chance on anyone you like because they have red flags or haven’t shown a consistent skill. Also the fact that after 10 you are looking at likely roleplayers or just upside guys isn’t ideal. Most draft you hope for better prospects at least until the end of the lottery. Duren might slip into the top #10 but as far as that talent level goes. I expect teams to try and sell late first rounders because 2nd rounder are not guaranteed contracts in case they don’t develop

Agreed...This draft class is more talented and deeper than people are giving it credit for. Especially with the addition of Sharpe...

Definitely, I should have added Jaden Hardy to the wildcard group. He looks like he can be a great scorer, the defense and driving aren't good but I am thinking maybe a Buddy Heild type player but a better passer. This draft is decent until around 20 guys and then it nosedives into guys who are probably 2nd rounders in better drafts. 20 - 30 is the real no man's land of this draft. If none of the above drop those picks will probably be easy to buy from the playoff level teams holding them.

I’m pretty hooked on Orlando Robinson trayce Davis Ochai abajgi and Keegan Murray with Justin Lewis coming on big

None of these guys will require a top 7 pick.

My goal wouod be try to get 3 of these guys depending on what happens with Randle and trades

Rebuild the front court and find an additional wing scorer. All pass all rebound all handle all have great size while being proven 20 point scorers in the ncaa.

Add Michael Kessler to my list of guys who should definitely go first. He’s a rim running Defensive center but has enough range you wonder if he could develop into more. I would put him into my high floor, low ceiling group. I could see the suns grabbing him as a replacement for Jalen Smith that they completely dropped the ball on.

His name is Walker.

If I had pick 1 I’d take Chet hologram. No brainer and play him at the 4 position.

I would also try to build my frontline like the cavs did

I really don’t agree with this mock but they are mocks for a reason

I like this mock a lot more and appreciate the use of tiers. We’re probably drafting in tier 3.
