who's #10?

I'm going Mitchell don't like his age but he's clearly the best player to me from this list. It would be like a Saddiq Bey type pick where they're NBA ready.

Looks like Kai is not getting much love around here.
Kai Jones is definitely an interesting high value prospect and not
your typical dime a dozen guard or wing prospect.
Kai gets my vote from here on out

I went with Giddey. He has a clear outlier skill with his playmaking at his size. His jumper is getting better, his athletecism dramatically improved over the course of the season from what I've seen. I still think he is going to be a bad athlete at the next level, and that could prevent him from being an effective player (we will see), but I like him as someone who could develop into a Joe Ingles or Kyle Anderson type player.

Also, I think the list so far is pretty good. I have some minor disagreements, but not bad overall and it makes sense for a crowd-sourced big board that this would be the order (e.g. I have Springer a bit higher, Johnson and Bouknight a bit lower - very hesitant on Johnson for quitting on 4 teams in 2 years).

The way this is going, some late lottery/playoff team is going to end up very glad that Franz Wagner had his worst game of the season in the last game of the season after most other prospects were done playing.

Some above .500 team in the West is going to get Josh Giddey

Agreed. Johnson is the wildcard here. A lot of investigation will need to go into understanding his previous situations. The talent is there and if after due diligence a team feels comfortable that it was one-offs and youth, etc. and that he is a dedicated basketball player then he has to go top ten. But if the flags get more red...it's a free fall until some team that can afford to strikeout and has a good culture and leaders takes a chance on him.

Flabbergasted Moses Moody is still in play and will be in play at #11. 3-level scorer with quick release and a damn good shooter and still only 18.

He is far from a proven 3 level scorer

to break the tie I'll switch my vote to Keon

Name me one 18 year old who’s ever been a proven 3 scorer. Moody is undervalued. It appears he’s a lock for #11 but if you told me I can obtain that young man at #11 I’d be ecstatic as a GM.

Yes, and I stand by the comment MM is a 3-level scorer, you have now add he be proven. Never did I mention he’s proven, his shot and skill are there. He’s one of the youngest members of his draft class. You’re the one who’s now saying he must be proven and I’ll ask again what 18 year old OAD has ever been a ‘proven’ 3-level scorer, bane just one, MM is 18, let that sink in, 18.. now place an arc on his trajectory.

all of them have upside etc
there are questions about his ability to be "the guy" so I dont value him much before late lottery mid first
