Players you're higher or lower on after the draft?

Is there anyone who your opinion of shifted after the draft, either due to the info from the draft itself or team fit? For me -

Higher:
Ousmane Dieng - wasn't a huge fan due to his underwhelming play in the NBL, had him early 20s but Presti trading 3 firsts for him must mean he's got some real upside
Patrick Baldwin - if the Warriors want him in their system, he must not be that bad. He'll have a small role to start, will get good looks and could actually live up to some of the hype he had a year ago
Jake LaRavia - liked him as a late first rounder already but now I just think he's going to be a perfect fit for the Grizzlies
Jaden Ivey - did not love him as a top 5 pick like most did but he landed in the perfect spot to maximize his skillset

Lower:
AJ Griffin - medicals must have been really bad for him to slip out of the lotto
Jabari Smith - very possible he was just the odd man out of the top 3 but I feel like for the 2 teams that looked at him most extensively to pass on him isn't a great sign for his star potential
Johnny Davis - I'm a big Davis fan but I'm worried that if the Wizards transition into a full rebuild he'll be overburdened like he was at Wisconsin. Would like him a lot more in a situation where he can start out in a smaller role and grow from there
