I'll take a note from Spud and try to be a kinder, gentler pain in the a** poster in the future.
Fansided5 best NBA Draft prospects in the NCAA Tournament
2. R.J. Barrett | Wing | Duke
R.J. Barrett came into Duke as one of the most highly regarded recruits in his class. His numbers have been strong — 22.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game — and he’s certainly had his signature moments. Star potential is the reason R.J. Barrett likely winds up as the second player taken in the 2019 NBA Draft but there are plenty of questions about Barrett.
The best version of Barrett is a primary ball-handler and three-level scorer who can carry an NBA offense, creating efficient scoring opportunities for himself and leveraging defensive attention to create openings for his teammates. Barrett has as good a chance of becoming that type of player as any other wing in this draft, but to get there he’ll need to be a much more consistent finisher, shooter and decision-maker. He’s shooting 30.4 percent on 3-pointers for the season, and just 22.7 percent over his last 10 games. Barrett has a healthy field goal percentage inside the arc but his strength and athleticism haven’t really translated into elite finishing ability. He’s improved over the course of the season but still has a tendency to get tunnel vision attacking the basket and had nearly as many turnovers (25) as assists (31) during the six games Zion Williamson missed with injury.
Make no mistake, Barrett could be an NBA star. But he’s also a reminder that, in this draft, there are no sure things, except…[/u][/b]
3. Jarrett Culver | Wing | Texas Tech
Culver hasn’t gotten nearly as much attention as the Duke trio or the explosive Morant but his size and well-rounded skill set may make him one of the safest possibilities for a top-five pick. Culver, a 6-foot-5 wing, has averaged 18.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game for an incredibly strong Texas Tech team.
From an NBA perspective, the most attractive elements of Culver’s profile are his defensive potential and playmaking ability. He is probably not headed for a role as a primary ball-handler but as a secondary creator, who can both find open teammates and score at the rim or get himself to the free throw line, Culver is extremely appealing. One of the big questions he’ll have to answer moving forward is whether he can be a reliable outside shooter.
Culver shot 38.2 on 144 3-point attempts as a freshman but has hit 32.3 percent on 130 attempts this season.

Best fits for him are: Knicks, Grizzlies, Lakers, Pelicans and the Hornets.
I am leaning that Cleveland joins the Chicago and Phoenix sweepstakes and looks to draft a PG. Sexton is more of a SG and looking like a future All Star.

Sexton has been scoring well lately and efficiently. I wonder if he'll get rookie of the month over Trae this month. He's shooting much better than Trae, but not rebounding (

I'll do it. It's a weird list, though.
You can guess who's #1 and #2. The rest are PGs or fringe prospects unlikely to go in the 1st round. (Tyrese Haliburton?!?)ESPNRanking the best NBA draft prospects by stats and scouting

Sexton could be a Kemba Walker level scorer.

Possibly but he is not a Kemba on any level PG. He is a SG like C.J. McCollum

My boss has walked by and caught me on that thing several times. I need my job, so I better just stay clear of it!
Tell the boss to do it too. It’s addicting. I’ve been running that thing daily a few times for months.
