Love the stepien, man. Highly detailed draft analysis and they aren't cookie cutter in their rankings. Just a quick top 30 of this top 100.

I may not agree with Hoy's rankings but I do love that he's not afraid to be different in them.

No Rui in the top 30 prospects? He's one of the most efficient scorers in the country.

KZ Okpala is good. He is kinda like Rui except he can shoot the three well.

put up 29, 6, and 4 vs Zona tonight. kinda reminds me of paul george except no where as good lol. he just kinda has that smoothness, driving, and post game of pg13. he doesn't have the ballhandling, passing, or high volume 3pt shooting tho.

Really bums me out that Happ can't shoot, such a talented basketball player and came to Wisconsin as a kid with good form who hit jumpers in HS. Obviously, being a post monster, his game wouldn't really translate to NBA, but his IQ, and good combo of size and athleticism would be enough for him to be a contributor in the NBA... if he had any kind of jumper, that is.

pretty clutch that the nuggets salary dumped their first this year as opposed to others. seems like a weak class to me

Very underwhelming lottery for sure after 4 or 5 guys, although we weren't gonna be picking in the lottery (and our FO definitely was 100% confident in that IMO). As far as true depth goes, like the guys available in the 20s, you'll be lucky to find a contributor, but I suppose that goes for pretty much any class... Not losing any sleep over not having a pick, at this rate our core is for the most part set for the foreseeable future, just a matter of guys developing into what we expect.

This class isn't very good. Idk about next year.

Zion, Ja, and RJ are way above everyone. The other players I like are for their role player potential (Culver, NA-W, Hunter, Clarke, Rui).

And I don't buy half of the top ten (Cam, Langford, Garland, Little, Bol, Porter Jr.)

Reddish has been hurt all year with a groin strain and a broken rib, he's finally starting to get healthy. Long-term he has as much potential as anyone in the class outside of Zion Williamson.

The 2019 class is significantly better than the 2020 class, imo.

My early big board for next years class: 

1. Anthony Edwards, CG, Undecided 

2. Cole Anthony, PG, Undecided 

3. James Wiserman, C, Memphis

4. Vernon Carey Jr, C, Duke

5. Jaden McDaniels, F, Undecided
