top12 preseason update

I was watching some clips on YouTube, interesting draft. I'm not familiar with alot of the guys, just saw Bennedict Mathurin, looks good. I don't get how these guys aren't talked about at all. He played last season and put up impressive numbers for a rookie and looks the part. I never even heard an inkling about him last year.

first official update, 3 tiers.

What do you see in Christie? He’s really not doing anything well so far and it’s not like he’s some physical specimen either. Ivey in tier 3 is also pretty low given how he’s looked imo. Not as big of a fan of him as most? Most explosive guard in the country leading the #1 team and he’s shown off excellent defense, passing, and even decent shooting potential albeit not elite.

1) every yr there is a FS that I love that no one else does that I would take a shot on in the top lotto, i.e. Brandon Boston last year, RJ Hampton before that, Bol Bol before that, etc...this year it looks like its Christie...he hasn't been as productive as I'd like but I think it's just due to the fact that his shot is just not falling, otherwise his mechanics/stroke is one of the purest i've seen at the collegiate level, has a decent handle, good athlete who is a legit 6-7 guy and can actually defend at a + level. i don't think he's that far off imo and his path to success is in the NBA is clearer than a lot of players if he puts it together.

2) well I have Ivey 4th overall and I think that's fair, just don't like him enough as a playmaker to vault him into T2 yet, but if you have him in the top 3 I'm certainly not gonna argue with you there. i personally would just like to see either elite shooting from him or playmaking, and right now i don't see either. we can comp him to Ja Morant's as a second year riser who ended up going top2, but Morant was a freak passer/PG coming, on top of having insane production and being a ++ athlete.

tiers and positionals updated

3/25 update- most likely final or second to final big board for the 22 class.

updated tiers and positional rankings, final update and onto 2022

Curious on a number of items here:
1) Why are you so low on Murray? His offensive performance last season was outstanding.
2) What gives you so much confidence in Sharpe? I just don't see it with him...
3) What do you see in Diabate? I haven't scouted him at all. It appears his metrics are not that good.
Just an extra comment. I love that you have Eason & Terry as high as you do (relative to other big boards). Those are two of my favorite prospects.

okay - final final update
