Tier 1: Potential Superstars
Kyrie Irving

Tier 2: Recurring All-Stars
none

Tier 3: Fringe All-Stars
Derrick Williams

Tier 4: Solid Starters
Enes Kanter, Jonas Valanciunas, Kemba Walker, Jan Vesely, Alec Burks

Tier 5: Upside/Downside
Brandon Knight, Donatas Motiejunas, Bismack Biyombo, Tristan Thompson

Tier 6: Fringe Starters/Quality Bench Players
Chris Singleton, Marcus Morris, Kawhi Leonard, Tobias Harris, Marshon Brooks, Markieff Morris, Reggie Jackson, Jimmer Fredette, Kenneth Faried, Justin Harper

I have everyone else rating out as having overwhelming odds of being bench players or out of the league (some having slight odds of upside), but out of this group I think the Purdue guys have the lowest chances of being out of the league and can see them carving out a niche for themselves.

Starting at Tier 5 I think the chances of the player busting out of the league start to become relevant. Whereas Tiers 1-4 may have one (but I wouldn't bet on it), Tiers 5 and 6 could have 4-5 guys who never make it.
