@@LarryCasucciovery hot take here but I’m split between Ron Holland and Devin Carter. Both have high ceilings but could bust but definitely 2 guys to look out for
A lot of people are calling this a weak draft class because there's no clear number 1 but I'm starting to think maybe it's going to turn out strong because theres so many players with high potentials
There are some guys I really really like from this class. Upside outta of this world. Sarr, Risacher, Sheppard, Clingan, Cody W, Walter, Devin Carter, Castle, Tyler Smith, Topic, Collier, Ware, etc. I think all of these guys have the ability to be good NBA role players, NBA starters, & even a few have All NBA potential, especially Sarr, Holland, & Castle, & Cody Williams with the elite two way play.
It'd because its not top loaded. But it's mid loaded. It's a toss up but they def do have potential. These guys don't have star power off the hop like past classes.
@@warriorsa-cash8534 it’s really not bro… I think it’s more so a slim gap in talent level with guys having high potential all the way into the second round. We were spoiled to the past two draft classes but sleepers always arise. On top of that, guys are just still very young. Everybody is pointing to a Paulo, Victor, Chet as a comparison but there are some really raw guys in this draft class… like I don’t understand guys like Ron Holland falling in the draft, at one point in time he was a consensus #1. He has probably the most upside out of anyone in this class. Sarr is literally the new archetype for NBA bigs. Tall, athletic, & can shoot the ball. Even Buzelis has crazy potential. Guys are becoming more positionless & are good at a lot of things, just not great in one. That’s the perfect mold for a young NBA prospect. I think we’ll see a lot of guys rise from this draft class just based on the expectations being so low. A guy picked at 15 could win ROTY if he’s put in the right situation.
Hey SROS i think a good video idea would be to go back to these top 30 prospects you’ve done in past years and grade your ranking kind of like grading the nba draft.
I would've like you to have given your take on Terrence Shannon Jr. whom Lebron had a reply to him not found guilty. He was a lottery prospect early on and now he's available. He is the type of player the Lakers would take as they are always good at drafting talented hidden gems. He is an older player at 23 but I think his impact to a team will be more immediate similar to a Jaime Jaquez for Miami.
How do you feel about Pacome Dadiet? I think he has potential to be a huge steal in this draft but I know youve done plenty more scouting than me so I’d love to hear your opinion.
As a fellow Belgian I'm definitely biased, but Ajay Mitchell looked really good in the combine. Solid point guard with a nice feel for the game who can also score a bit. Could definitely see him getting picked early in the second round
There are 15-20 guys in this draft class that are screaming with potential. I don’t know where they will end up but location will determine so much for their potential and their careers. Every year there are all-stars and all nba talent, even in down years, I expect to see players like Collier, Walter, Holland, Sarr, Williams, Sheppard, Clingan, Castle and Buzelis to be leading teams into the post season soon.
Good video but when it comes to evaluations it would help if reviewers like you included- Position, size and weight of these prospects. Not everyone follows a bunch of college games to know who half of these players are. Thx 👍🏼
I only got Kyshawn George instead of Jaylon Tyson on my top 30 mock draft (not really a "big board"), but everyone else you mentioned here deserves a 1st round selection to me too... great job
Great analysis. Disagree on Tyler Smith, seems allergic to attacking the rim, always taking fadeaways and jumpers. Also his team defense is not great (though that can be somewhat explained by the environment on Ignite). I've got him in the early second

As a Wolves fan I’d love Bub Carrington to fall to us. Think he’d provide good rotation with Conley and NAW and has the potential to step up and be the guy after Conley retires.
I just moved Filipowski up from like 32 to 26 and I have Jaylon Tyson at 27 we thinking alike right now but let’s go another guy lower on Flip than consensus like me
Feel like no matter how good or bad he is Cody Williams is going to get drafted higher than he probably should. NBA executives seem to be pretty stupid to me and I think they'll just go with the relationship to j-dub as a signifier of his possibilities.😊
You and everyone is doubting Edey even though he said he could shoot and proved it at the combine, proved he was one of the best moving big men at the combine and DURING the college season literally guarded guards 1 ON 1 and stopped them so he can play defense, can dunk like Shaq and hook it like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with touch and shoot 3 ball like Jokic and kiss it of glass like Duncan. Everyone is GALAXY braining this because he is different and people just want to say he was good cause he was big college are going to look dumb including all the teams passing on him. He is going Top Tier Superstar All World
i seriously don’t understand why people view castle as a wing, yes he can operate there but as a pg prospect he’s levels above what a guy like ivey was while being younger as well and everyone thought he was so worthy of a top 5 pick with some people even higher on him. the shooting especially in this class is not a guarantee so i’d take him all day at 2
I want my Spurs to trade up their 2 second round picks and maybe add a future 1st 2028 to snag Ryan Dunn. They still have their 2 first round picks to do whatever he wants
I’m convinced that Atlanta will trade back from 1. If they traded back to 4, got some more trade chips, maybe a player and still get a big like Clingan, that’s better than just taking Sarr
@@Jerbball. if I had to guess, I would say Atlanta and San Antonio trade. Pick 1 and AJ Griffin for pick 4, maybe some protected future picks, maybe Tre Jones or Jeremy Sochan are attached to the trade.
@@reggiegarcia07 Only thing i've seen from Spurs side has been maybe packaging #4 & #8 for #1 and that they're interested in Risacher, who could slip to #4 anyway if reports about Hawks liking Clingan more than Sarr are true. Keldon Johnson could be shipped out but Jones & Sochan are seen as part of the core so I honestly can't see them being used in trading up. Personally I don't think trading up makes any sense for Spurs in a draft like this. If Clingan is still on board at #4 I could even see them trading down with Memphis/Chicago.
I think you are too kind on Dillingham. He might be a microwave scorer, but I think he is absolutely gong to be completely unplayable on the defensive end. I think he drops out of the lottery
There are many players like that who have had extremely successful nba careers and even became superstars, it’s always something he can improve on. (Trae, Curry, Luka) in the right system, he could definitely thrive, he’s already 12 pounds heavier than trae so just off talent alone he’s a super high floor high ceiling pick. Heavy jamal Crawford vibes.
Philipowski has been trashed on these last couple weeks. Good shot good form better than advertised D maybe a stretch for lottery. Possibly 15 to 18 range
I’m so tired of ppl thinking that elite defenders will make so much of a difference on a team, when they have no offense outside of rim running and dunks. Sketchy shooter do not last on the team that drafts them. Case in point, Isaac Okoro, Matisse Thybiulle, Justice Winslow and Jarrett Culver. So if a team, hopefully not my NYK’s, decides to draft Ryan Dunn in round 1, your just wasting a pick. I don’t even see him as a better player than Johnathan Mogbo. Both are poor outside shooters, but Mogbo was a primary ball handler, instinctive passer and facilitator.
19:44 so Alex is the best player in the draft.. but wasn’t the best player on his team.. let alone the best big on his team.. he didn’t even start. What in the world !?!!!!! This has to be a joke.
LeBron James son + coming off cardiac arrest + probably wasn't a top 2000 player in NCAA last year + short. Drafting him is just a gamble on his genetics being 50% goat

McCullar..knee issues..shot didn't improve...Mid..2nd round pick...Klintman late 1st round!..Dunn is way too good defensively at the most important position to not go alot higher...top 20 for sure!

Terrence Shannon is the most underrated player in the draft.
I think he has malik monk type scoring ability
Exactly nobody ever puts Terrence in the mock draft his drive is crazy
No. It's York Le Torres
@@JenniferJorstadhe had a SA charge but he was found innocent
24 years old already!
How do you feel about Pacome Dadiet? I think he has potential to be a huge steal in this draft but I know youve done plenty more scouting than me so I’d love to hear your opinion.
Collier measured in at 6’2 1/2 at the combine
tidjane salaun at 22 its crazy
Let's GO Zach. Boiler up baby
As a fellow Belgian I'm definitely biased, but Ajay Mitchell looked really good in the combine. Solid point guard with a nice feel for the game who can also score a bit. Could definitely see him getting picked early in the second round
He’s definitely a top 30 prospect in my opinion. He will provide immediate impact too, where he is projected now whoever gets him is getting a steal
im so excited for the draft!!
New sub--my Hawks have not brought in Sarr for a workout yet 😭

Really want the Heat to draft Kelel Ware

What’s the hype around risacher? Never heard of him until recently but haven’t heard why he’s so promising
Idk if your aware..Zac is as fast as clingan..they clocked the same at the combine.
No Terrence Shannon??
I can’t believe that he did not put Terrence his drive is crazy
Thank you for actually giving analysis of the draft picks and not just making another draft nepotism video like so many others have
The way I describe Filipowski is that he's a worse shooter than you'd expect, but he's better than you'd think at most everything else.
When is the draft picks?
Great analysis. Disagree on Tyler Smith, seems allergic to attacking the rim, always taking fadeaways and jumpers. Also his team defense is not great (though that can be somewhat explained by the environment on Ignite). I've got him in the early second
i really hope zach edey succeeds, love seeing a traditional center

i really like most bigs this draft. super high on ware, tyler smith. like missi. great value for bigs this draft imo
You said about 18 people were the best shooters. Or arguably the best. So who is it?
1. Sheppard
2. McCain
3. Rob
4. Knecht
5. Furphy
As a Wolves fan I’d love Bub Carrington to fall to us. Think he’d provide good rotation with Conley and NAW and has the potential to step up and be the guy after Conley retires.
I would love to see Jared Mccain in Minnesota actually I would love to see him play anywhere, I would definitely use his card in 2k
Hot take: this class is loaded and could be better than the last 10 drafts
Idk about last 10, but I agree it’s super underrated
overstatement
Hell naw u tripping
fuck no
Dalton has that Heat Culture vibe.
That boy can really ball
Memphis
We almost are completely flipped on JaKobe Walter and Tidjane Salaun it’s crazy how similar our mocks are I’ll drop mine below
17:20, 18:46 how they both best shooter?
in your spreadsheet, theres a lot of players who were ranked 35 in the preseason ranking, is this so the outliers aren't as bad?
yea if they weren't considered I did 35 since it wasn't an actual number
Should put the names on the screen. Or even just make your own captions, the autogenerated ones have a lot of errors.
I just moved Filipowski up from like 32 to 26 and I have Jaylon Tyson at 27 we thinking alike right now but let’s go another guy lower on Flip than consensus like me
salaun will be one of the best of this draft remember that
Zach Edey should have a great work ethic.
No tsj ?
I think a cool video you could make is you rating what you think each prospects ceiling is in 2k (an example: I think Sarr could be a 92)
Feel like no matter how good or bad he is Cody Williams is going to get drafted higher than he probably should. NBA executives seem to be pretty stupid to me and I think they'll just go with the relationship to j-dub as a signifier of his possibilities.😊

I’m high on holland as well and everyone keeps saying I’m crazy. As a hawks fan that’s the player I want but the fit is too good with Sarr.
Yea hawks need defense three already got offense
And a third scorer so Alex sarr good fit
