Hersey was ok, but not great.....You
by even mentioning his name synonomously with Mitch Richmond.Buddy could match Hersey Hawkins.... easily
By advanced charts and data. All of these names including Redikk measures favorably to Hield. That doesn't mean, Hield is Redikk, Richmond or Hawkins. We don't know what Hield will be because we don't know where he will play or his personnel.Hersey was ok, but not great.....You
Buddy could match Hersey Hawkins.... easily

We'll see
That's the only way. That's why it's not fair to make these comparisons. Too many players depend on the ideal situation to reach their ceiling in this league.
I think the key traits to look at to see that Buddy is far more of a better prospect than J.J. is
A. Ability to rebound and size. In less minutes, Buddy avg 3 more rebounds per game which shows Buddy's active outside of just ball screens like J.J. Buddy is nearly the same height but is five inches longer and 25 pounds larger out of college. That's a massive difference. Size was one of J.J. big issues out of Duke.
B. J.J. in his best season took 1.5 more FGA per a game and was less efficient. Now that might seem small but Buddy TS rates with the best scorers in CB of all time like Richmond and others. That's something too look into. Both were exceptional scorers in college.
C. Every metrics states that Redikk was a more effective college scorer. He went to the line 7.1 times a game which for his style of play in college is normal. Had more assist and wasn't as turnover prone but you have to consider the teams personnel and coaching. Duke during Redikk's time was one of the best teams in the land. OU has only one NBA prospect which is Buddy. Not to mention coaching as well. Defensively, Hield rates as a superior defender even if he only rates as an average potential defender. He still has less issues than J.J. had. For all of the wow factor, Hield advanced numbers blew J.J. out of the water. Where he was 4-5 points better in categories such as WS, EFF, and TS%. Hield has his questions but he's really a clearly better prospect than Redikk.
The Richmond one is where you get sticky. I won't touch that one.

6'1 Hollis Price?
His handle isn't as bad as a lot of people make it seem, he's gotten a lot better with it especially this year
He won't have to handle the ball so much in the league and he won't be as turnover prone, I think he is the most nba ready player in the draft
He has a good frame to really become a good defender too

Dunn and Brice Johnson or the only two legit NBA ready day 1 guys in this draft. Not saying they will be good, but they will be able to do what they do day 1.
This class has too many raw or productive guys without the tools. This class is so much like 2013 from the American colleges prospect side. I would say better due to Ingram and Simmons but it's probably similar other than those two.
Ingram and Simmons will have a transition phase. They will put up numbers but they gonna have bad advanced statistics. This is going to be a sad class. Rabb is the American sleeper like Hood was in 2013. Dunn is the best four year player. After that, crab shoot

Brice Johnson needs to add some strength or he's going to have some problems
I think Dunn is up there though, but I think he'll struggle with turnovers
Bender should be in the top 3 with Simmons and Ingram though, maybe Dunn depending on who picks where
Also, Valentine will be able to produce from day one, but like you said, he won't be the best
