Patrick Baldwin
Blake Wesley
Jaden Ivey
K.D. Johnson
Julian Strawther

Edit: A.J. Griffin is exploding onto my list, too. He's been balling lately. Might be better than Banchero.

Keegan Murray, why do u not like him?

I'm a little lukewarm on him. I'm wary about his shooting and he's a little too old for my liking (he's already 21).

He began the year destroying bad competition and came back down to earth once he began playing real teams. The Iowa State game was a major stinker.

Also, Jaden Shackelford is going to outperform many of the Gs taken in front of him. One of the best shooters in this class.

Yes, his scoring shows dominance with good deflection numbers. I didnt know he’s 21 hahaha i just saw he’s on his second year.

How about Kendall Brown?

Phenomenal defender with great size.

Not sure where he fits, offensively, though. He doesn't create much off the dribble and he's an absolute spacing zero. He's predominately being used as a backdoor cutter and a hockey assister in Baylor's halfcourt.

Yeah i just watched his highlights. He’s a system player like Landry Fields/Franz Wagner.

How about Kennedy Chandler? I think I’d have him top of my non top 5 list.

Paolo Banchero’s number has been dropping. I really hate duke guys

I really like his defense. He's a munchkin that can hold up defensively, so major credit there.

I have some reservations about his playing style. He's a slasher that happens to only be 5'11" 170 pounds. He's going to have to adopt his playstyle and be more of a shooter at the next level.

So I like him, but have some reservations.

Keels is going to be a good 3&D guy.

A.J. Griffin is the guy at Duke to keep an eye on. He's going to emerge like a bat out of hell during the rest of the season. People might not know about him yet because he's only averaging 6.2 ppg, but just keep him in mind.

Yup. Griffin’s numbers looks good. But i dont know how good he can be with larger role

Keegan Murray and Chet are two heavy targets for me to scout in the draft for me if I dont have a top pick. They’re two high risk high reward guys for me.

Jabari Smith is clear number 1 pick for me now, considering low risk and high reward.

Jalen Duren is projected too high.

My top 7 picks now in order
Jabari
Chet
Ivey
Keegan
Banchero
Chandler
Kendall Brown

Coach K is not likely to supplant either Banchero or Moore as starting Fs, so we'll have to be doing some projection with Griffin. The good news is that we SHOULD at least get a consistent 20 mpg from him, going forward, for the rest of the season.

And we have to remember to keep Jaden Hardy of the G-League in mind. He looks like an electric scorer that can shoot his ass off at 6'4" 200 pounds. He should be a top 10 pick.

No secret AJ is a Butler archetype big guard so much for my earlier 1st round drop. Is a top 5 talent pre College. Just couldn’t catch a break with injury. Might really be the best guard in this class. Knew he was a monster. Value wise his positional play in the NBA is extremely high.

Fun fact.
Jaden Springer is 2 months YOUNGER than Jaden Hardy
Jaden Springer is posting better numbers but Hardy is the better 3pt shooter

Springer could be a valuable asset that maybe worth a low lotto pick to a mid first by next year.

I got my eyes on N.C. State's Terquavion Smith as a sleeper 1st rounder. Has some Jordan Poole to his game.

Hardy scores so effortlessly. I think he'd probably average 20+ in he played in college this year. Springer has everything but the jumper. If he develops a jumper, he's a superstar.

Julian Strawther has huge scoring potential

He's on my top prospects list.

His absolute floor is peak level Terrence Ross. A pure bomber with size and athleticism.

Don’t know how good he’ll be this year but he’s quite something.

Good call.

Top 15 list (the ones I like the most):

Chet
Smith Jr
AJ
Ivey
Brown
Banchero
Mathurin
Murray
Eason
Washington
Dieng
Agbaji
Daniels
Moore
Champagnie

HM: Chandler

Out on Prkacin unfortunately but still very draft-able to the right organization. Age is on his side. Jovic, that’s two euro prospects that will find a home.
