That’s the end of the first round grades. Here’s group that’s close:

• Tyler Kolek, G, Marquette (25)
• Matas Buzelis, F, G League Ignite (6)
• Keshad Johnson, F, Arizona (51)
• Terrence Shannon Jr., W, Illinois (31)
• Ja’Kobe Walter, G, Baylor (14)
• Yves Missi, C, Baylor (22)
• Antonio Reeves, G, Kentucky (62) — SHOOTER!
• Kel’El Ware, C, Indiana (19)
• Zaccharie Risacher, W, Bourg (2) — Unimpressive production paired with unimpressive physical profile.
• Ariel Hukporti, C, Ludwigsburg (64)
• Tristen Newton, G, Connecticut (59)
• Harrison Ingram, W, North Carolina (39)

And now for players who might provide value in the second round or as undrafted free agents:

• Cam Spencer, W, Connecticut (57)
• Dillon Jones, W, Weber State (47)
• Jonathan Mogbo, F/C, San Francisco (41)
• Juan Nunez, G, Ulm (43)

• Isaiah Collier, G, USC (21)
• Ryan Dunn, F, Virginia (26)
• PJ Hall, F/C, Clemson (56)
• Baylor Scheierman, W, Creighton (29)
• Johnny Furphy, W, Kansas (23)
• Pacome Dadiet, G, Ulm (33)
• Reece Beekman, G, Virginia (60)
• Cody Williams, W, Colorado (8)
• Tidjane Salaun, F, Cholet (9)
• Melvin Ajinca, W, Saint Quenton (49)
• Oso Ighodaro, F, Marquette (48)
• Tristan Da Silva, F, Colorado (16)
• Kevin McCullar, W, Kansas (34)
• Armando Bacot, C, North Carolina (91)
• Kyle Filipowski, C, Duke (24)

A few notable names:

• Kyshawn George and Bobi Klintman are considered first round picks in the consensus mock, but neither ranks among YODA’s top 50 prospects.
• YODA has Bronny James ranked in the 50s.

of the players available to join clusterfukk city, Sheppard at least has an elite skill, but something's gotta give with the talent there. Not everyone's gonna pan out.

They’ll eventually consolidate once it’s clear who’s reached their ceiling and who hasn’t but that’s to be determined. Jabari may be the first dominoe to fall

 

[iamduval]

Amen, Jabari, and Jalen are the blue chips on that roster. (Whitmore maybe)

You add Castle, clingan, or Mata to that core and now you cooking

Only blue chip is sengun so far and we don’t even know how he’ll come back from injury.

Amen is a positionless player so far. Jabari closet to his ceiling( and I’m not saying that, complementary), and Jalen isn't for a whole season.

Jabari is a legit 2 way stretch 4. Amen is a dynamic playmaker and potential lock down defender. There’s a reason why those guys aren’t available for trade, just Sengun and the rest

 

[trick]

Terrance shannon jr should go top 10 in this draft

Would not surprise me if he went in the mid to late lottery from #11-16, even as a 23 year old. This draft is terrible

It's only dumb if you don't want that to happen. They want someone to get the Rodgers treatment so they can keep showing him on camera.

[NoMorePie]

Damn he deep

[Voice of Reason]

I feel like a surprise trade like Lonzo Ball will happen.

 

[Henry Orbit]

He got some kind of beef with Risacher
This is like the second time he’s gone in on him
