Agreed. If Bailey falls past four I still expect Utah to pick him, but hopefully as part of a deal to move him for value.

Re: Who falls the furthest?
Tre Johnson falls furthest.
Should be Edgecombe though.

Re: Who falls the furthest?
I have a feeling Maluach is going to end up in the top five, with Johnson falling out. "Falling out" meaning Washington probably takes him at 6.

Re: Who falls the furthest?
It sounds like Brooklyn is trying to move up for Fears. My bet is that Charlotte would be the most willing to do that under the assumption that either VJ drops or that they are good with Maluach or someone else other than VJ. So I will say VJ drops to 6 or 7 if Brooklyn moves up.

Bailey. I even think he’s getting negative momentum now.
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

Re: Who falls the furthest?
It is too early to say, basically whoever gets the latest negative story about a workout, interview etc the week of the draft. Ace Bailey might be falling now as people are bored and falling in love with other prospects like Tre Johnson or Fears etc... but I expect by the time the draft arrives in 2 weeks people will have talked themselves back into him.
A lot of the same reasons people are low on Ace apply to Tre Johnson, but he is the new flavor and rising. Examples, both guys struggled a lot to get to the rim, both guys have weaker frames, both guys struggled with shot selection..

I think we can rule out Flagg or Harper dropping out of the top 5.
Anyone's guess after that.

Can make a case for anyone. Why are people so down on VJ all of a sudden?

I just have him the lowest in my top-5 and have for a while. I'm not sure anyone in the top-5 (which I have as Flagg/Harper + Bailey/Johnson/VJ in some order) actually drops, though.

Re: Who falls the furthest?
I think VJ ceiling is limited. His offensive game would have to improve a lot( dribbling, shooting off the dribble) so he could be an allstar. He will be a good player, but i wouldnt pick him top 3. Bailey may have a lot of flaws but you can see some offensive skills of him already there, that are hard to find.
