Message: [QUOTE="Walker11, post: 2193127, member: 380"] This draft has been hyped for years but I think it is overrated now. Still good, but I don't see as much star potential as it looked a year or 2 ago with Tatum looking super 1 dimensional and Giles being hurt. Who really has star potential? Fultz for sure, I think Ball, and after that its a crap shoot. I do like Monk and Smith more than most and think they have huge ceilings. Guys like Allen and the French PG and even Ferguson are super raw but have great potential. Some of the players I like more than their projected rankings on Draft Express are Monk, Smith, Allen, Anunoby, Rabb, Evans, Thomas Bryant. I really, really like Evans and wouldn't be surprised to see Anunoby be more of an elite role player than Josh Jackson. I think Rabb is a sure thing as a rotation big and guys in the 20's are not sure thing NBA players. Some of the guys I like less than their rankings are Tatum, Foxx, Markkanen, Mitchell, Kennard. I wouldn't be surprised if a 2nd round guard like Thornwell has a better career than Mitchell and I expect Jawun Evans to be much better than him. I don't think Kennard will ever be a rotation player and I bet Jackson will wash out of the league. Tatum is a good player but I think the Carmelo lite comparison is spot on. Markkanen looks like a role player to me and Foxx will probably be a good player, but the PG spot is so deep. Is being the 20-25th best PG in the league worth a top 6 pick? Honestly, I am happy that Jalen didn't test the waters because I think he would have done very well testing at the combine and if a guy like Frank Jackson is hearing enough to be sticking in, Jalen could have as well.
