Get ready for Kuminga to join the other guys in the G League. Released his final 5 and it was TTU/Duke/UK/Auburn/G League. I think most people feel its going to come down between the G League, Auburn and TTU. I think most likely G League.

Kuminga in tier 3?
Image

I personally have Kuminga 1st (also would have the remaining 1st tier with Green and Cade).

I also have Mobley in tier 2 instead of Love and Brown. Also don't see Roach that high. I think he will be one of those really good college players that won't that high of a Draft stock.

Evan Mobley doesn’t look like a top 6 pick to me

Don't know a whole lot about Kuminga, but I've watched him play a few times and last year, I had him ranked #1 above everyone, but I watched a little more and there's something missing but I can't figure out what but there's definitely an ingredient missing in his game. Maybe it's passion or motor? I don't know. With his tools, he should be able to penetrate more easily, but I see him just getting stonewalled on his dribble drives too often.

His lack of size is concerning. Frame isn't great...

That doesn't mean much, tbh. Towns has barely achieved anything in the NBA, and Mobley isn't close to him from a skill-wise. I want to look at him closely at college, because you have to be a special type of center and defender to be worth top-5 picks
Robert Horry is better than MJ, because everybody knows that 7>6.

Well it's more than a year from now, it's impossible to define that at the moment, those are just some guys I like more or less that I think will likely be in this class, period

And he doesn’t really look that skilled either. I don’t even see how he’s a better prospect than Mitchell Robinson tbh.

Here is a rough draft on how I see the top guys in this draft.

Tier 1:
Kuminga

Tier 1a:
Cade
Jalen Green

Tier 2:
Jalen Johnson
Terrence Clarke
Mobley
Ziaire Williams

Those are the studs in the class in my opinion. The 3rd tier looks good as well, just didn't want to make too long of a list. I think everyone above can play themselves into a top 3 pick. Kuminga is my favorite to go #1 and I can see Cade and Green play themselves into the #1 pick.

Sleeper (not in this draft class but from this year's recruiting class):
Caleb Lohner. My guess is he will spend 3 years in college before entering the draft

Here are clips of the two Greek players that have declared.

Nikos Rogkavopoulos 6-8 200 SG/SF

Clip is from Greek 1st Division and BCL (2nd-tier European league)




Georgios Kalaitzakis 6-7 (maybe 6-8 by NBA methods) 192 PG/SG/SF

Clip is from Lithuanian 1st Division, playing against Zalgiris Kaunas of the EuroLeague (European top-tier)
