No. Remember when people were arguing Justice Winslow should be the #1 pick?

Best player in the best conference, IMO.

Size, athleticism, can shoot well and defends.

Who else then?

Fultz, Ball and Jackson are locks to go ahead of him.

top 5 pick, with #1 pick skills

He's going to get better, still developing his talents.

I'd be careful about proclaiming someone a lock this far before the draft. A lot can change, and likely will.

Fultz and Ball have the potential to be elite PGs. Those types of players go over tweener forwards all day.

Only way I could see one of those two not going first is if the Suns get the first pick and go for need over best available

I can agree with Ball, not sold on Fultz though. But Tatum is definitely making his case

Hahah what?

They're not even remotely similar players. Tatum's offensive game is so much better than Winslow's was in college.

They weren't.... but watching Tatum play all year, I'd say since coming back from his injury, he's been the most improved player in the country as the season has went on. He's gotten better each month and is so fun to watch. He can score from anywhere. I still think Fultz and Ball will go 1/2 but Tatum is arguably the Third best prospect.

I think he is the 3rd best player in the draft behind Fultz and Ball. Jackson may be the better prospect in the long run, but I really like Tatum.

No but he's def solidified himself into the top 5. He's the most consistent player offensively in this draft
