Your top 5 most underrated/overrated 21 prospects

[DCasey91]

Overrated:
- Jonathan Kuminga - Until I see him do something at an elite level, he's in the same camp as Jeff Green to me.
- Franz Wagner - I liked him as a pick in the 20s, but his mediocre athleticism and limited creation will limit him at the wing in the NBA. Maybe he's a glue guy, not sure.
- Ziaire Williams - It's going to be a while before you can put him on an NBA floor. KZ Okpala hasn't shown up in his first 2 seasons, and he's better built than Ziaire.

Underrated
- Jalen Johnson could be Ben Simmons with some shooting/scoring.
- Roko Prkacin could be brawny Hayward. He's at least the Rui Hachimura of this draft.
- Vrenz Bleighenberg has the best combination of length, mobility and passing I've seen since Kirilenko, and he's developing 30-ft range.
- Ayo Dosunmu is better than Shake Milton and could develop into something close to Jrue Holiday.
- Benedict Mathurin should have received a 1st-round guarantee in this draft.

I call Roko Brute Force Joe Ingles lol. The kid plays like a bull in a China Shop. He was growing the whole year first to the last game he kept on filling out and still has some filling to come .

Vrenz is a nice one too!

[Stillwater]

Yeah he’s growing on me. Got humbled abit from high school to the G league.

But 6”10 long shooters just don’t grow on trees. Watching his interviews good kid, speaks well and is doing the Bruce Lee master of one thing deal.

I mean a bench version of Rashard Lewis or near Rashard Lewis as the outcome in the second round? Potential value.

was disappointed in his athletic testing and he is more sf probably on paper imo but he is a baller and will make it at least as a rotation 3/4 imo with the ability to play the 5 some

I don’t like him at the five. His body type screams a skinny 4 wing type.

NBA nowadays has the two wing archetypes.

The slow moving big soak volume PF is actually one of the least valued tiers on my list. They have to step out to the perimter and guards will just exploit them.

I think they’ll eventually get phased out.

We have one in Harris, there’s Hachi and the best version in Randle. They are all in the end non threatening to me and don’t bring true value.

I give teams +6 with Harris gives away free corner threes for fun lol

Todd isn’t a great defender at all. But a 6”10” shooter a good team will make that work imo.

Athletic testing too is just numbers to me. There’s so many more factors to athleticism and your game then the result of a trial.

He’s 6”10 and can shoot with a sweet stroke. That’s draft-able right there and then

I am fully aware of him I have been high on his game for awhile but he lacks the ws I was hoping for from a 6'9 forward...
I do think his mobility is good enough to defend outside against forwards similar and some guards but for the most part is probably a pf by trade who can stretch it a bit. His handles are not bad either so that should help his upside stock for late first teams

good call out

also comes in with a 5 hour shot that i hope he gets a chance to use for some team. that baseline fade he can hit over anyone.

That’s how I see it with him too. Don’t need much creation just shoot over the top.
He does rely on it a lot but he’s certainly of height.

[Marcus]

The right environment with a little bit of a leash and Todd can be a pretty effective role player.

Chris Duarte
James Bouknight

thought that was your boy

Last year I had him as a first round pick. I actually try to project guys in the future. He would have had to do a lot more to convince me he's much higher than a mid-first. Currently have him at 18 but I see him mocked as high as 6 or 7. That's just too high for me.

I've been watching him during the FIBAU19 and he's streaky, but all the potential is there IMO. Very good prospect.

But he's in the conversation for either 1 or 2. So how is he "Underrated"? Who cares about Cade's personality being boring lol. I also have Green above Cade, but to say he's underrated is just not true.

Personality matters. Look at Rudy Gay & Andrew Wiggins. Their personalities don’t excite anyone .

Green’s not being talked about as a generational guy by most. They are saying all star level, but he has a chance to be the next Kobe.

[LofJ]

Overrated

Cade Cunninghan - He's a top 3 pick, but I think Green and Mobley will be better. He shouldn't be the consensus number one pick.

Davion Mitchell - Classic tournament performance leading to being overdrafted. He'll be solid in the NBA, but nothing special.

Jonathan Kuminga - We see guys like this every year - physical marvels with few basketball skills. He has high bust potential.

Isaiah Jackson - He can defend and rebound and he has decent hands, but outside of that he has zero offensive skill. He may develop that, but for now I'm not sure I see a future NBA starter.

Alperin Sengun - He has skill and plays hard, so he'll make it in the league. But his lack of foot speed and size will limit him. I don't think he'll be a high level starter, you don't want that with a lottery pick.

Underrated

Roko Prkacin - He's a skilled wing with size and has a good resume of performance. He's much better than where he's being mocked.

Evan Mobley - Big men with his skill level are incredibly rare. I think the conventional wisdom of wings over every other position has led to him being overlooked somewhat.

Jaden Springer - He's a big guard that can do everything and has professional pedigree. He's also younger than just about everyone in this class with room for growth.

Joshua Primo - Another big guard with great 3 and D potential. He has the potential to be a long-term starter in the league if he develops properly.

Aaron Henry - He has size, he can defend, and he can pass. If he can develop his shot he'll stick in the league.

[UnbelievablyRAW]

From this thread Bouknight is underrated lol. If he goes to a good team like the Warriors I can see him shocking people and people saying the Warriors got the steal of the draft. Would have been great on Toronto as well as a 6th man guy who just needs to score. Him getting to play off of Steph and Klay and attack the basket off of closeouts or create for himself will be much easier and he's shown he's one of the best at it in UConn.

Pretty sure his shooting numbers skyrocket getting easy catch and shoots like Wiggins did and I'm willing to say I like his scoring bag more than Wiggins as well with his hesitation dribble

Tim Duncan's personality didn't excite anyone either, Cade is known for being a great leader and culture builder on every team he has been on. His personality is nothing like Wiggins.

Green can barely go more than a sentence without mumbling lmao, he's not leading anyone

Green's a good prospect but I'd rather build a team around Cade's personality, Green seems like the type to leave for a big market at his first chance
