EMG's Big Board

EMG518 · Post #1 » by **EMG518** » Fri Apr 23, 2021 5:51 am

No where near ready to make a mock or even a complete big board. I have been watching some highlights and as of now from the guys I have seen I have a top 5. I haven't looked at any other boards, just been watching the channel swish on youtube. If the player doesn't have season highlights yet I haven't seen them. If you have any names you think I should check out feel free to drop them.

1.Jalen Green
2.Evan Mobley
3.Keon Johnson
4.Sharife Cooper
5.Cade Cunningham

So you saw highlights of S.Cooper and you would take this midget that cannot shoot over Cade Cunningham? :lol:

I would. He is small, taller than 6 feet though. He plays tough, hence being that small and rebounding. He is for sure going to be a below avg defender but I think Cade will be as well. He definitely needs to improve his shooting but being 82.5% from the line leaves me optimistic he can be above average there. What gets my attention for him is his handles, vision, iq are top notch and he moves very well on the court, benefiting from that handle. He managed to average 20 pts and 8 assists as a freshman with not being a good shooter. Cade on the other hand I wish had a better handle and was more athletic. I think he will be good but won't be good for the reasons people think he will nor will his playing style be the same in the NBA.

Adding my next 5 from the guys I have seen.

7.Isaiah Jackson
8.Ziaire Williams
9.Jonathan Kuminga
10.Corey Kispert

Updated with another 8 from the guys I have seen. I probably will have to re rank the 18 as I hadn't seem some until the initial ranks were done. There are a lot of very raw prospects whom are missing certain tools but this draft has a ton of talent and upside. Most talented draft that I can remember.

11.Isaiah Todd
12.Caleb Love
13.David Johnson
14.Ariel Hukporti
15.Josh Christopher
16.Franz Wagner
17.Daishen Nix
18.Kai Jones

I'm not familiar with next year's draft but I don't blame him. This is a strong draft. He is easily a 1st rounder for me and I imagine he would do well in the workouts but I get it.

Definitely an interesting big board. I like how you have Springer so high

Thanks, I try to ignore the outside noise and come up with my own rankings. I will probably do an update closer to the draft.

Very interesting, especially having Springer 14 spots higher than Suggs. I feel like Springer and Suggs are very similar players..I think you could debate who's better, probably Suggs but it's very close. Surprising to see Springer that much higher than Suggs..any reason for that?

Anything specific you've seen from Todd, Jackson and Bleijenbergh that makes you rank them as high as you do?

I think Suggs will have more of a back up role. Springer to me has the better ability to translate, I think his athleticism will go up a couple of ticks once he develops his body, he is not the same type of athlete but he has some moves that remind me of Rose a bit. I think he will be able to score better at different levels with his mechanics. I don't think Suggs will bring much offensively outside of the occasional basket at the rim and 3s due to his mechanics. I like Springer defensively more as well.

I like upside and I think they all have it. Todd to me can get a shot up over anyone, has a good body to put on weight, athletic, tough, has a handle and real nice stroke which will get better. Real nice 4 in the league. Jackson has potential to be a pick and pop and maybe even corner 3 taker with top notch defense. He can defend multiple positions. Vrenz you are hoping the upside and tools pan out. He is tall, long, handles the ball, potential for a shot anywhere on the court.
