Rumor has it the Rockets are "really high on Banchero".  People think this is a 2 man draft with Jabari and Chet but the Rockets feel like its a 3 man draft.  Thats why im hoping we get the worst record.  At worst we are getting Adrian Griffin Jr. 

Same for Detroit.  I am hoping for 1 of the four.  Ivey and Davis or Murray aren't bad options either, but definitely not to the level of the top 4.  Its a pretty solid draft for the lottery this year but not all focused on freshman for once.

Ivey isn't in your top 4? Jabari, Chet, Paolo,...

I like Griffin over Ivey, but its close.  I would have preferred if Ivey ran point more.  I am not sure he is a true 2 in the NBA and he has made some iffy decisions in the few games I have watched this year.  You can definitely see the potential, but I like Griffin's upside a little better.  Either way its a really solid top of the draft.

I gotcha. Makes sense. I think I'd still put Ivey over Griffin, but I don't really watch much NCAA.

Jabari

 

Tier 2

Banchero

Ivey

AJ Griffin

 

Tier 3

 

Sharpe (if he declares.  He is an unknown)

 

Tier 4

Murray

Duren (as much as I hate Memphis, I cant be bias.  Duren is legit)

Mathurin

Johnny Davis

 

Tier 5

The rest

This is about right to me except I would swap Tier 3 and 4 and have Griffin over Ivey.  I know very little about Sharpe but I know that most of the guards we had projected as top picks this year struggled mightily when facing better competition and have fallen down draft boards. Sharpe is rated as a prospect similar to Hardy, Bates, Brandon Boston, Cole Anthony, RJ Hampton etc which is a wide range of outcomes.  Most bigs with similar ratings have been decent pros but the guards have been more up and down.  I think knowing the growth of the others is enough for me to take them over the unknown of a really young SG.

What to make of Wembayama's statistical regression this year (in only 10 games tho)?

It shows that we (myself included) need to stop hyping guys who are 16-17 as locks to be stars. See also: Emoni Bates, the **** show that is currently Zion Williamson's situation.

Does Chet have Anthony Davis upside? Both skinny guys with guard skills and alien blocking ability.

AD more explosive and Chet the better shooter.

I don't think so. AD was a better athlete and had a way better frame conducive to adding weight. Chet's going to struggle with weight/strength for a long time.

As a defender he will be better. Chet is probably the best big man defender I have scouted.  People expecting him to be the 24 PPG scorer AD was are gonna be disappointed.  I can see Chet peaking at 20 PPG with elite defense and passing ability.
