Put up your FINAL big boards.

Then next year when you complain on the #19 or #31 pick because of who you wanted having success elsewhere, we’ll know if you’re full of **** or not.

Merry Draftmas everyone!

I reserve the right to not make a comment but get outraged if it's the wrong pick lol.

Seriously speaking, I don't follow draft prospects much and I still trust this front office's eye for young talent so whoever we pick, I'd expect them to be good.

Sheppard 1st. That's all I got.

Yeah, after my reaction to the Scottie pick, I've learned to STFU on draft night. Still embarrassed that my kids had to witness that. Last year, it was Cason or idc. And we did fine.

Hard no to Dillingham and Filipowski, except at #31 (lol)

In our #19 range, I'd say Ware, Edey (how could we not, if he's available), Collier and Missi. I'm not going to bother distinguishing Bub, George, and all those other smalls.

I haven’t done my usual deep dive on the draft due to some health issues but my top 3 are:

Ron holland
Reed sheppard
Alex sarr

It's my board so...

1. Reed Sheppard
2. Stephon Castle
3. Tidjane Salaun
4. Zach Edey
5. Matas Buzelis
6. Donovan Clingan
7. Alex Sarr
8. Devin Carter
9. Jared McCain
10. Zaccharie Risacher
11. Tristan Da Silva
12. Cody Williams
13. Dalton Knecht
14. Ron Holland

Hopefully I'll be very happy when the 19th pick is announced.

All I know is Reed Sheppard isn't #1.

When has a under 6'2" 180lbs 6'3" wingpan dude ever been close to being a #1 overall pick? Iverson?
Reed is no Iverson. His shooting is NBA ready but boy is he ever going to get bullied off the court. His comp is what, Grayson Allen of last year? I can't in good conscience put that guy 1st...his ceiling is so low. Could he become Curry? Maybe. But I just can't take that plunge with the #1 overall, and I doubt NBA GM's can either.

I didn't really take into account drafting team here, just who I think I would take in a vacuum based on skillset and potential/ceiling.

I remove the top players mostly mock in the lottery. I think my board start at around 14 or so.

1- Jared McCain (unlikely but draft are often weird)
2- Kel’el Ware (assuming the organization think that the so called motors issue are fixable otherwise pass. But if they draft him it’s because they believe in his potential. This is why I hope he is the pick . )
3- Bub Carrington
4- Isaiah Collier
5- Zach Edey
6- Kyshawn George (I am flip flopping but I am warming up since he is being mock often to us)
7- Jako’be Walter
8- Kyle Filipowski
9- Yves Missi
10- Daron Holme
11- Ryan Dunn
12 Johnny Furphy
13- Tyler Smith
14- Baylor Scheirman
15- Pacome Dadiet
16- Bobbi Klintman
17- Jaylon Tyson
18- Tyler Kolek
19- Jonathan Mogbo
20- KJ Simpson
21- Nikola Durisic
22- Ajay Mitchell

I FORGOT Tristan Da Silva . He would be 7 pushing the other one down. I am slowly changing my tunes with TDS.

I would be happy with any combination of two of the above list

My only no draft player is Terrance Shannon.

I don’t want Chomche or Bona at #31 unless we drop down

Only the list of 22 (23 which TDS I forgot) above I would considers for #19 and 31. The top part for #19 and bottom for #31.

I'm not doing a big board, but I'll tell you 5 guys that shouldn't go in the lottery.

1. Castle
2. Risacher
3. Buzelis
4. Da Silva
5. Cody Williams

And I'll give you 5 guys that will be in the top 15 players from this draft.

1. Holmes
2. Furphy
3. McCullar
4. Nunez
5. Djurisic

19. I'm calling Dunn to the Raps; Missi if they go big. I actually like Holmes > Missi > Ware but this is a prediction
31. I'm calling Tyson to the Raps, though I'm seeing him slide into the 1st now in a couple of places; Dadiet or Djurisic backup

As for the big board, so man variables but sure:

1. Risacher
2. Sarr
3. Sheppard
4. Buzelis
5. Clingan
6. Castle
7. C. Williams
8. Knecht
9. Salaun

Best list so far, just from having watched these guys. Haven’t done much research admittedly.

I have a feeling the Walker Kessler fanclub will be silent here.

Good thread though, I have 0 idea on prospects but it is nice to see everyone elses lists

Heres my stab at it.....im not confident at all.

- Sarr/Holland are probably the only guys that have star potential but are raw so they have significant bust potential as well
- Draft is flat as F. Example - in mock drafts why is Sheppard conensus top 5 while McCain mid 1st? Theyre pretty equivalent propects in my opinion
- Edey/McCain/Holland/Carter are my underrated picks
