Rankings

v2 players in bold

PlayerGradeReasoning
BouknightTop 10The guy I think has the best chance of being a star and an elite scorer
ButlerLotteryA playoff rotation player at minimum in my opinion with some very valuable skills and should be a fantastic role player
MitchellLotteryAn excellent athlete, defender, and shot creator, only question mark is the shooting
Murphy IIIMid firstAthletic wing who can defend 1-4 and shoot the 3, even though his ceiling may not be as high
MannMid-late firstHas star potential, but there are some athleticism concerns
DuarteMid-late firstExcellent shooter and finisher but already 24 years old
WilliamsMid-late firstTop 10 potential but needs to add a lot of strength and polish
GiddeyLate firstIncredible passer at 6'8 but a lot of concerns with scoring and athleticism
CooperLate firstAmazing playmaker but major question marks everywhere else
KispertLate firstElite shooter but not much else impressed me
McBrideLate firstJack of all trades whose athleticism knocks him down a few spots
SpringerLate first/Early secondLooks like a defensive specialist that may become a decent shooter

Would love to snag Bones. Bones Hyland is the truth, watched him both years at VCU and he is absolutely for real. Best shooter in the draft (catch and shoot, off the dribble, has it all and is a hell of a competitor). Doesn't really fit on the team since he's not a true pg but he has shown shades of playmaking.

I actually think he may get picked up before us. Also the quickley comps are so lazy, he's got much more of a well rounded game as far as playmaking, defensively, etc.

Honestly not complaining who we draft this year, everyone post lottery in the 1st round are all solid players who at least have some level of potential

McBride is slept on so much.

Really hope we walk away with 3 players from the draft, especially if the fo isn’t going to be big spenders this offseason.

You forgot Kispert is an elite defender

He is mostly an off ball defender he plays defense like the way Thibs likes team defense

If he was elite he’d be top 10 lol

No he's soft, watch the film against WVU (first real defense other than Baylor they played) he got shut down and he definitely couldn't do a thing on defense

Agree on Springer. He is almost all defense which Thibs might love but I feel McBride gives you that plus much more and would be the perfect Thibs PG. Feels like Butler wont last now that he's been cleared.
