I’m done trying to project these prospects unless I watch a ton of them. I thought Barnes was a terrible pick over Suggs last year and that couldn’t have been further off. [Reply]

Smart always brings the energy, they need that. [Reply]

Jaden Ivey will be the best pro to come out of this class. He has superstar written all over him. I honestly would consider drafting him #1 like him so much. He has the highest upside, I don't care what any talking head says.
I like Chet and I think his body frame is a little overblown. The NBA is no longer a super physical league and you sometimes are better off if when you take a hit it physically moves you off your spot more...because thats what refs call. Flailing bodies, not actual contact. He's not quite aggressive enough but he does move fluidly for his size. He may be a guy that has all the size in the world and skills but just never gets there. See Porzingis.
Banchero has got to be the safest pick. I don't think he has the potential to be a Top 5 player in the NBA though like the other three. Hes a pretty efficient scorer and gets to the line the most (out of those mentioned). He should be able to build upon his 3pot shot and defense.
Jabari Smith is a wildcard to me. He will always be useful because he can shoot and shoot it quickly but I don't trust him at the end of a shot clock like I would with Ivey. He's not efficient at all inside the arc. Does have a high ceiling but I dont expect him to get to Top 5 territory as an NBA player.
Id go
1a. Chet
1b. Ivey
(Based on team beed for 1a and 1b)
3. Banchero
4. Smith
No clue who should be five. Never seen Sharpe play. Couldn't tell you. [Reply]

It remains hard to believe the 76ers let him go. Their 2019 team that lost to the Raptors was absolutely stacked (Embiid, Butler, Simmons, Harris). [Reply]
