Who are the top 5 NBA prospects in high school?

Doesn't have to be upperclassmen or even a player who's reached his full potential yet.

But what players have the most NBA potential in hs ball right now?

Porters right there. Zion Williamson. There's a Serbian in 2019 that is a monster

Ayton, Bamba, Bagley, Porter, Zion and Duval. Then there's a drop off to guys like Langford and Carter

Those guys are all good I feel like Troy Brown is in their league even if he doesnt get mentioned as much
The 2017 HS class is not all that good, high potential at the top but if those guys dont develop is gonna end up pretty weak.

Jaylen Hoard gotta be considered a HS prospect now, he's in the 2018 one.

Zion and RJ Barrett along with Bagley might be the guys with the best outlook for me.

Sophomores and Freshman are just to hard to predict. Guys like JP Tokoto or Seventh Woods were once considered top 5 guys in their recruiting classes as freshman and sophomores.

I forgot about Langford he's a beast. Might end up being the best in 18 with a chance he reclasses to 17 to get ahead. Duke might hold a slight edge but it's narrowed hugely due to his mom

Langford is really good. Duke was looked at as the leader early on but kinda just like Bamba we seem to have kinda cooled with him. It seems like the staff is all in on Reddish when it comes to the wings. But I definitely think its going to come down between Duke and Indiana for Langford.

It seems like Duke at the moment feels pretty solid with Reddish and Garland and all the vibes are they are sitting very well with Zion. I know the staff is also going to go all in on Langford and Bagley. Dont see them getting those two.

Duke and Kentucky then Louisville. Kenny Payne is the key if he's still on staff. His dad wants duke, mom wants uk. I prefer to be with moms opinion in recruiting. Indiana isn't serious in this other than keeping him in the Mr basketball discussion and when he breaks the Indiana all time scoring record

Bagley is iffy because of where he goes to school because at last check he goes to the same private school that's still not accredited. I don't think he has intention of going to college

I met him this summer and he is a nice kid. I just hope the people around him are giving him the foundation to reach his potential. The talent is there but I think a year of college would help him immensely. He needs to learn how to fit his talents into a winning concept.

Would Bagley go top-10 as a junior in HS?

Ya. I'd probably take him somewhere between 5-8th in this draft. Dude has crazy potential
