I gotta say that Reed Sheppard has to be one of the safest (not best, but safest) prospects we’ve seen in recent memory. Even put up elite defensive numbers in college that suggest that he can at least stick to defending point guards and be really solid at that at the NBA level.
@@Fgh-ng3qu first off, feel like his playmaking is being undersold, also always a spot for someone who projects to be as elite of a shooter as he regardless of size, JJ Redick was only like 6’3 and able to play next to Chris Paul for example
bold prediction. terrence shannon jr will be a top 10 player from this class with potential all star upside. hes nba ready and has a lot of traits.. especially with his allegations gone and done, he needs to be talked about a lot more
It might be just me but I’m not high on dillingham at all, unless he puts on more weight I just think he’s bones hyland 2.0 which some would say is a bucket, but I don’t see much
@@Idk_tbh20 He is tiny and one of the worst defensive prospects ever his fundamentals are even bad. I don’t see him being as good offensively as Trae Young while possibly being as bad or worse on D… Still a good player tho
Harrison Ingram is going to prove a lot of doubters wrong. Straight DAWG and WINNER. Saw the potential from the jump as his hs teammate so trust me lol
This type of content is kinda funny to me cause in reality no one knows how these players will turn out only the players will know how they gonna turn out so yeah we can rank them all we want but we dont really have the answer on how then gonna be
You should realy look into Nikola Djurisic, he is the most underrated prospects of this draft. Very good size can shoot, create his own shots, can pass finish at the rim really everything offensively and a solid defender check him up
@@aleksejpetrovic11 No shot he goes in first and I agree with you he should stay in the draft despite maybe not being a high pick because the nba is the best place to develop a player for high level basketball
Ron Holland is a starter and shoots free throws at 75% so I think he can develop a 3 point shot and improve from 24%. Maybe his 1st year will be like Scoot Henderson though. Castle has similar issues so why do we like him better.
Castle is a much higher iq player and is physically stronger than Holland. I know that sounds simple but it makes his floor higher and he hasn’t been rumored to be doing terribly in workouts like Holland. Really though who knows it’s hard to tell who will be better long term this draft is confusing
Where’s el Ellis from Arkansas. ( I know he was not good their last year but it was a messy program and he was a bucket at Louisville as a top scoring threat in the acc
Rob is the definition of boom or bust. How many small guards have we seen just go to the G League (JD Davison, Carson Edwards, etc) please come back to this commit after a year and I 99% guarantee this is the case
hes too efficient and elite as a shooter to not at least be a constant scoring threat in the league. Maybe that comes as a 6th man bc of his atrocious defense but I think his offensive game will warrant him significant playing time. I think hes closer to Tyrese matey/darius garland than bones hyland. But he will be limited in his ceiling by his defense unless he is TRULEY elite at scoring ala Trae Young,maxey etc.
@@hoodiejelo6456 didn’t wanna actually look but i’ll do my research: 2023- scoot (arguably, has the worst shooting splits of nearly anyone in nba) 2021-davion mitchell 2019- romelo langford 2018- zhaire smith 2017- dennis smith jr These are all smaller sizes guards with not a lot of frame - like Rob - he’s just gotta shoot 46%+ FG and 38%+ 3PT to be effective in this league which is difficult when he’s not going to be the focal point of any team
@@schmeat4504 scoot could never shoot tho. in fact most of the guards on that list weren't nearly as effective of a shooter as rob. I don't disagree with him needing to be hyper efficient to make up for the defense but I think he has a much better shot than any of those guards listed. worst case scenario he is of average efficiency but still an elite scoring threat as a sixth man.A two man PnR with dilingham and wemby would be so peak. Wembys imposing presense down low would deter attackers even if dilly is a turnstile on d. However I imagine the spurs are more of your line of thinking and looking for for a big, capable defending guard.
@@schmeat4504 all the people you named except Langford where never really know for there shooting, and Davion Mitchell is in the league for his defense.
I'm just not sold on Reed man, like yeah shooting 52% from 3 is cool, but he's a freshman in college. It just screams anomaly to me. Next year he'll be guarded by big boys and I feel like he got a taste of that in that first round upset against Oakland. Dude was nowhere to be found on offense, and could not guard Jack Gohlke of all people. They had more success when they relegated Dillingham on Jack. Players in the NBA are miles better than Gohlke with more efficient systems. Like maybe a catch-and-shoot guy off the bench might be a more realistic option for him, at least early on, but I feel like he's incredibly overhyped. Maybe I'm wrong, and I hope I am, but I guess time will tell. I'll be very intrigued by this draft though. These drafts always tend to have some big surprises that get picked way later than they should've in hindsight.
@@nolanrussell6326 oh I didn’t know that lol that’s mb, he mentioned Almansa’s withdrawal but not Sallis’s so I thought he might’ve forgotten to put him in the tier list
Breaking: Jj Redick agrees to 4 year deal with Lakers!!!!!!
The Lakers are cooked 😂
I think he’ll do good. He’s intelligent & utilizes critical thinking.
Bro ur not Woj
Blud thinks he’s sports center
ok

His daddy was fierce. I don’t agree with you about his son.
Reed is not considered a safe pick, I like him, but he is an undersized combo guard thats not what people consider safe

If the Hawks dont draft Sarr im putting a bounty on Landry Fields
Looking more likely by the day that that'll be the case.
@@patrickgross814😂
How does Sarr not workout with Hawks? 😂
Sarr is not working out because he doesn’t want to play for a trash team like the Hawks.
Sarr is a smart man!
@@Itsjustlikemagicyea I guess he wants to play for a even worst team in the wizards huh 💀
Scheirmans playmaking is underrated I think he carves out a Joe ingles type of career
Much better at creating his own shot imo albeit a worse defender
bold prediction. terrence shannon jr will be a top 10 player from this class with potential all star upside. hes nba ready and has a lot of traits.. especially with his allegations gone and done, he needs to be talked about a lot more
Sat in his seat for 3 quarters at the tbt since he showed up late
100% agreed he can end up being a great player
Lol Thunder got Caruso for Giddey
thunder best defensive team in leauge now
I believe Castle will be the best in this draft in quick time
Definitely
bro got excited talking about ryan dunn😂😂😂
I've noticed Risacher too
You have been pumping out a lot of good content keep up the good work! 💯
Djurisic is a point forward. Has shooting ability too
And he is a Nikola. How can you miss?
It might be just me but I’m not high on dillingham at all, unless he puts on more weight I just think he’s bones hyland 2.0 which some would say is a bucket, but I don’t see much
Son-of-a-Goat Bronny w/12pts last night & 13 tonight , looking like his confidence is growing...
keep coming out with the draft content! love it
you should do this but with mock draft sites/articles and rank them from realistic to not realistic. ESPN vs CBS vs The Ringer ++++
You’re a legend Matt keep up the great work
NBA ceiling ranking 2024 Draft

Rob Dillingham is an elite shooter and shot creator. Idk how his ceiling isn't at least all star.
@@Idk_tbh20 He is tiny and one of the worst defensive prospects ever his fundamentals are even bad. I don’t see him being as good offensively as Trae Young while possibly being as bad or worse on D… Still a good player tho
Your first 4 boom or bust are the only players I want Detroit to draft at 5.
Hollond & Williams
then
Matas or Risacher
I would have placed topic in boom or bust cause to his knee
curios where u would put kj simpson. I was really impressed with him all szn, great hustle dude.
Harrison Ingram is going to prove a lot of doubters wrong. Straight DAWG and WINNER. Saw the potential from the jump as his hs teammate so trust me lol

A 6'2 guard that doesn't score at the rim, I'll bet money reed never makes a single all star game.
This sure will be a interesting draft to look back on
Josh giddey is on the bulls
Alex Caruso more importantly is on OKC. That is scary
You should realy look into Nikola Djurisic, he is the most underrated prospects of this draft. Very good size can shoot, create his own shots, can pass finish at the rim really everything offensively and a solid defender check him up
He is lacking nba talent I feel like but I would say he could be a surprise solid udfa or late 2nd. That’s is solid on a team like Miami
@@user-xz6zj4rg7i if he doesnt get picked in the first he is going back to europe which is bad for his developing
@@aleksejpetrovic11 No shot he goes in first and I agree with you he should stay in the draft despite maybe not being a high pick because the nba is the best place to develop a player for high level basketball
Is it just me who thinks this drafts potential best player could be an unknown and or unexpected like Jokic in 2014
Fr same it could be that good passing but he mentioned I feel like maybe the 2nd-5th picks will be busts

Reed Shep is a great shooter but at 6 2 as a shooting guard in the NBA, I don't know about that.
He is the same size as Steph Curry and Kyrie Irving coming into the league.
@FREEMANPEAVY yes, you're so right, but those 2 are pg, not as a shooting guard
I agree for them all I feel like they all can be a great player just gotta get the feel
Caruso for Giddey in a one for one trade lol
Will Ron Holland be an Andrew Wiggins type of underwhelming?
ron holland becoming andrew wiggins would be a best case scenario tf😂
@@bengton he honestly seems like he end up like him underwhelming but solid athletic wing
@@SnuggieMaple wiggins better than underwhelming
Breaking news: bulls get Josh giddey okc get Alex caruso
josh giddey hopes theres some cute highschooler in chicago
People are mad at the bulls but where would you rank Giddey in this draft? I think top 3!
Is it because Ron got drafted to the Pistons?😂😂 ... Bro is looking promising
Daron holmes will be a top 7 player in this draft and should be a top 10 pick
I mainly disagree with the good starter section, half those guys are more good role players and not starters
❤ love the content man
I think Ulrich will be very good, love hos upside
He reminds of the guy being labeled “he is two years away of being two years away”
Ware should be in good stater or boom or bust
Cody Williams will be Cam Reddish 2.0

Can’t believe we waited this long for Bronny just for him to not be a sure thing 🥲
Dillon Jones gonna shock everyone 👍🏼
Is the audio out of sync for anyone else?
No normal team would start a 164 lb guard, unless you're at Trae Young's level & playing for (maximum) Eastern mediocre team. 😒
You aren’t familiar with Hunter Sallis? I think he could be in that tier of good role player tbh
He withdrew from the draft and returned to college
@@nolanrussell6326 oh I didn’t know that lol that’s mb, he mentioned Almansa’s withdrawal but not Sallis’s so I thought he might’ve forgotten to put him in the tier list
What accent do you have? Is it Chicago or something that pronounces their a's as "eh"?
it’s Long Island
Collier future all star you'll see🥱
Devon Carter is a stud
As a Creighton fan, the second I saw Hopkins go down I said, “Devin Carter’s going to average 20 the rest of the season.” He’s a stud.
no future all star in this draft class
WE EARLY WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Holland Lowkey a Jaylen brown clone
Lol why’d you skip Shannon
Am I the only one that doesn’t get the Reed Sheppard hype?
Yes
Why keep avoiding Terrance Shannon Jr
Idk
He is really good
Yay
banger
if you arent watching the draft w sros wyd
Buzelis
Reed Sheppard is a good Role Player.
I think this too.
If he goes to the right scenario, like Houston, I could see him being very good.
Nikola Đurišić is a beter all around player than Nikola Topić
