I think general vibe this year would be something like this. Not particularly in order...

Guards : Suggs, Caruso, Jrue, White, Ellis?

Wings : Herb Jones, McDanniels, Anunoby, Issac, Draymond?

Centers : Wembanyama, Gobert, Davis, Bam, Hartenstein?

Also considered: Dean Wade, Giannis, Mitchell Robinson, JJJ, Smart, Aaron Gordon, Thompson twins, Kawhi, Kessler, Dort, Holmgren, Mobley, Mikal Bridges.
