Curious as to what everyone's top 10 looks like. Here is mine

1. Zion
2. Ja
3. RJ Barrett
4. Culver

Big drop off IMO

5. Clarke
6. Garland
7. C White
8. C. Reddish
9. D. Hunter
10. R. Langford

I like several of the bigs as role players. Would be happy with J Hayes or Fernando with the Kings pick, but I'd go perimeter player with our pick with Clarke as the only exception. Love his game.

Curious to know who is Clarke NBA comparison is in your opinion? I'm thinking Tyson Chandler based on similar frame. Also you are not big into Hachimura?

My top ten

1. ZION
2. JA
3. White
4. Barret
5. Hachimura


6. Hunter
7. Culver
8. Garland
9.Admiral ( I know controversial but I think he takes a big rise in March madness and is a winner)
10. Reddish



Notes : my list is based on mix of potential and winning players. I really hate langford, reddish games and approach to the game. I think the Pelicans need to establish a culutre early on this time of winners, instead of drafting ALL on potential with questionable drives type players. I really like Brandon Clarke mindframe and playing style but I replaced him with Rui because Rui is a winner but also have more potential then just being a solid role player like Clarke.

Hachimura


does anyone feel like they're walking Paul Milsap when watching him?

Not the super lengthiest of PF, decent mid range game, not much of a 3pt specialist, a "jack of all trades, master of none" type of PF

I'll go in tiers

Tier 1: Zion & Ja

Tier 2: Jarrett Culver, RJ Barrett, & Darius Garland

Tier 3: Coby White, DeAndre Hunter, Keldon Johnson & Rui

Tier 4: Clarke, kid from France, Bol Bol, Cam Reddish, Nassir Little, Romeo Langford, Nickeil Alexander-Walker



If I had to do a top 10
1. Zion
2. Morant
3. Culver
4. Barrett
5. Garland
6. Hunter
7. Rui
8. White
9. Johnson
10. Reddish

If you knew you got Milsap for ten years it's a great 5th to 20th pick choice.

And you get Japanese tourist fans.

Schofield is about to turn 22 and is a SF in a PF's body. I think that'll hurt his draft stock and might (hopefully) push him out of the first round. But I'd love to get him in the second.

no, I actually think DeAndre Hunter is more like Paul Milsap. Hachimura to me is more of a cross between Zach Collins & Taj Gibson

Teams that end up 3 thru 11 are going to look depressed when the numbers are drawn.

Some guy will turn out to be maarkenen, mid to late and can start day 1 for a good team.

Probably a spur or warrior.

I think Clarke is a better Nick Collision. That won't excite people but Collision with better D would lead the league in plus minus.

I see Hachimura as Shereef Abdur Rahim but I don't know how impactful Rahim would be in today's NBA

Give me ja over Zion. Guarantee you ja will be better when it’s all said and done.

Outside of the top 2, Barrett, Reddish, Garland, White, Johnson, Bol Bol & the French kid have the most upside. Problem is, they all have a mid-to-low floor imo too.

Most of the remaining prospects pretty much are who we see on the court.

Zion ceiling is best ever.
Zion floor is Griffin.

Morant ceiling is starter for USA in 2024 Olympics.
Morant floor is starter for NBA team that gets fa stars to flock to him.

I think it's going to clearer after the ncaas.
If morant gets past fsu maybe scary clown is right.

1.Zion
2a Ja
2b Barret
(I was in RJ train. Now going into Ja bandwagon).

4-8
Hunter, Culver, Clarke, Garland, White.

Reddish
Sekou
Langford
Hachimura
Hayes
Alexander-Walker
K.Johnson

I would love Hunter or Clarke with our pick.
K.Johnson with Sacto pick.

If we will get 2019 Boston first or Clippers 1st. - I would take Fernando or Thybulle.

Also will stash our late 2nd rounder (Oni from Yale).

It wont be popular, but RJ Barrett will be the best pro out of this draft imo

How do yall feel about Nassir Little? Looks like he might drop to the second.

He has a high floor, but I don’t see him as the best of this group. Will Barton floor, T-Mac ceiling.

Lol dang you cant think of a newer comparison than that?

I was surprised to see he online made the all star team once. He was a nice player for quite a while.

Best combo of size, skillset and intangibles in relation to translating to the NBA game. Alpha mentality, craves the pressure. Gets to the line. He was NBA ready coming out of HS. There are some minor holes there but he is still 18
