Peterson, Dybantsa or Boozer for the #1 pick

[HiDef]

Who ya got?

Personally I prefer Dybantsa. His scoring on the wing makes him hard to pass up.

[BigGargamel]

I'm taking Dybantsa, no matter who ends up with the first pick. His ability to score from anywhere, better than thought of jump shot, and star power makes him a good choice for anyone.

#2 should be Peterson, but the guy can't stay on the court. If a team like Charlotte or Washington gets the #2 pick, I think they could go with Boozer. His front court scoring would be a nice compliment next to a defensive minded center like Sarr or Kalkbrenner.

So

1. Dybantsa
2a and 2b. Peterson/Boozer
4. Caleb Wilson
5. Kingston Flemings

Board opens up in a big way after that.

[The Master]

They all have ridiculous floor, so I'm taking the guy with the highest ceiling - and that's Dybantsa.

[King Ken]

1. AJ
2. Peterson
3. Boozer

[tontoz]

1. AJ
2. Peterson
3. Boozer

For me it's more like

1 AJ
2 Peterson


3 undecided between Boozer/Caleb/Flemings

[vincecarter4pres]

I’m still going Peterson at 1.

I’m tempted to go Caleb Wilson at 2, or even 1 though. I get he’s the rawest by far, but to me his absolute ceiling is KG meets Giannis or Kawhi.

Caleb is still number 1 on my big board though I think ultimately I still go Peterson and then AJ at 1 and 2.

Boozer is 5 for me, Flemings is at 4.

Boozer > Peterson >>> Dybantsa.

Dybantsa hasn't had a good game against a great team this season, and relies on being a free throw merchant to score. I'll probably take Fleming over Dybantsa at this point.

Peterson's injury risk is building up which is a concern.

AJ was completely dominant in the 2nd half against #2 UConn. He scored only 4 pts in the first half and they were down 11. Then he dropped 21 in the second half. It was a show.

He did the same thing against Clemson who isn't as good as UConn but they have some good, athletic defenders.

SGA is a free throw merchant as well, just saying.

[CptCrunch]

Dybantsa has a month to show us that he can play against high level talent. BYU is playing the gauntlet next month.

If he lays let's say 3 eggs in the 5 ranked games, I'm gonna drop him below 5.

This is close to where I'm at. Don't care that much about being free-throw reliant but AJ's drop off against better teams is concerning. I think I'd still have AJ #3 but I see him closer to the Flemings / Wilson tier than the DP / Boozer tier.

I am back to Peterson now that he has played some games as my #1 prospect. IDK, it is really hard to decide - which is a good problem to have in this case?

Right it's not like he's played well against the highest ranked team they've played.....oh wait

I feel like Crunch is a big time hater, but at the same time, someone has to bust, probably multiple of the top guys, and so he’s planting his flag at least.

[FarBeyondDriven]

depends on team needs tbh. If I'm starting a franchise from scratch and only talent matters it's Peterson. But seeing how easy it is for him to sit out games I kinda would rather Dybantsa for the Kings. While likely not high, there's at least a chance he might embrace the challenge of bringing a championship to the Kings and become a legend like Lebron in CLE and Giannis in MIL since he chose to go to BYU when he could have gone anywhere. I honestly don't think either Peterson or Dybantsa will be allowed to go to the Kings though.

lol. is the #2 team in the country "great"? if UConn isn't great, i guess nobody is. or maybe arizon is the only great team and he hasn't played them yet.

Currently, for me (only movement is Wilson down 2, Flemings and Boozer up 1… )

1 DP — this fragility is the only concern, as he’s pretty much a sure thing star as an elite scorer with defensive tools
2 AJ — highest ceiling, but carries more risk in development
3 Flemings — love the player, dislike the archetype, but Keyonte with better D sounds awfully nice
4 Boozer — still wondering if he’s playable defensively, which makes me think Sabonis with better range
5 Wilson — a little worried about what CW can actually do in the pros except be an athlete, but skills development would make a very high ceiling

[sikma42]

Feel like Peterson is either going to have problems athletically or draw a ton of fouls. Haven’t watched enough but seems to have a weird was or moving/handle

[HMFFL]

Why is Cam Boozer a realistic option to go #1 or even top 3? He more than likely slides.
