    Not a big board but rated on chance to be a multiple all-star pick (which means some will bust and I will be wrong on roughly half):
    1. Shaedon Sharpe
    2. Chet Holmgren
    3. Jaden Ivey
    4. Jabari Smith
    5. Jalen Duren
    Not going to go past 5 but I will say that Bennedict Mathurin is an honorable mention

    Maybe the expectation is he'll be more Tobias Harris (no All Star selections) than Carmelo Anthony.

    In the thread where everyone was calling you a Chet homer you said Chet wasn’t your #1 prospect… what changed?

    Same logic as Oden over Durant.

    I have no idea if Holmgren will be a stud or a dud....but if a GM thinks there are red flags around a player and ignores them, he's a fool. If you draft Durant over Oden, you made the right call no matter who complains at the time.

    I’ve stated before Sharpe will be a star, I think he has the best chance to be “the guy” in this class. Being a huge UK fan I’ve been high in him since Cal recruited him. I wish he was going back with Oscar next season but if he’s there at 6 I think we have to take him.

    Interesting. That is very close to my list, except that I would drop Sharpe to 10 and move everybody else up one. (and IMHO even that is a big gamble) One-on-one drills and high-school games are no substitue for 5-on-5 against real competition. Every other guy on that list has a better on-court resume than Sharpe.

    Still think it's really beneficial to do tiers.

    1. Banchero
    2. Smith
    3. Ivey
    4. Holmgren
    5. Murray
    6. Eason
    7. Davis
    8. Mathurin
    9. Sharpe
    10. Agbaji
