[clyde21]

alright let's do it, your top 5 most underrated / overrated players of the class

Underrated
1 Keyonte George
2 Julian Phillips
3 Trey Alexander
4 Terrence Shannon Jr.
5 Reece Beekman

Overrated
1 Amen Thompson
2 Brandon Miller
3 Sidy Cissoko
4 Brice Sensabaugh
5 Rayan Rupert

---

overrated was much tougher b/c I like these guys on some level, just relative to where a lot of people have them projected, for example most people have Amen/Miller in the top 4 and imo a bit too rich for either, more palatable after 5 imo.

At this rate, half the board here will look like dumbasses if Amen hits as a prospect. Reddit nba_draft is about 95/5 with Amen bring a top 4 prospect.

Overrated based on ESPN mock:
4. Amen
12. Smith Jr
6. Ausar
9. Hood-Schifino

Totally agree with these and I'd add Cam too.

Underrated is Mo Gueye who's not even on Givony's mock. Unbelievable. Also Amari Bailey 30 spots behind Kobe Bufkin is ludicrous. I'd probably add Bufkin to the overrated list at this point. Jarace is fairly overrated as well. Bilabong Coulilaby and RayAnne Rupert Murdoch also highly overrated.

Cason Wallace highly underrated at this point. Leonard Miller probably underrated as well, although maybe I'm just irrationally high on him. Lively was underrated but now he's moving up to a deluxe apartment in the sky where he belongs.

3/5 of my underrated guys are returning to school (Trey, TJ, Reece)...gonna need to make a new list.

The fact that a number of players appear on both the underrated and the overrated sections of the replies in here indicates how subjective this draft is. It really looks like a lot of players are very close together in value and what separates them are our own stylistical preferences.

[Nuntius]

Bilabong Coulilaby and RayAnne Rupert Murdoch also highly overrated.

Is this the result of autocorrect or is this some weird attempt at humor?

[Felixians4]

Jordan Walsh, Dereck Lively, Mike Miles, Jordan Hawkins, Juan Nunez

Overrated?

[BostonCouchGM]

Based on where guys are mocked

Underrated: Clowney, Whitehead, Sheppard, Gueye, Clark

Hasn't Cissoko been mocked in the 2nd round for the past few weeks?

[King Ken]

Underrated: Cissoko, Bilal, Podz, Jarace Walker, and Oscar T.
Overrated: JSH, Whitmore, Hawkins, Rupert, and Jett Howard.

[Jamaaliver]

Is it possible to go from underrated to overrated in a matter of weeks?

NBA Draft Predictions

Ben Sheppard Goes Top 20

Watch on YouTube

Ben Sheppard spent the past season putting up big numbers, but since he compiled them at Belmont—and never faced a ranked team—NBA teams were perhaps uncertain how much stock to put in those stats.

Then, Sheppard took a blowtorch to his competition at the combine, and it appears everyone is finally on board.

You could argue they should have been there all along. It's hard to sneeze at any Division I hooper going for 18.8 points a night while shooting 47.5 percent from the field and 41.5 percent from distance. But for those numbers to come from a 6'6" guard who can run pick-and-rolls, score on the move and defend multiple positions, you'd think this league would be all over him.

Maybe they will be after he cooked his competition at the combine. In his final scrimmage, he erupted for 25 points on 8-of-10 shooting (3-of-5 from range) with four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 20 minutes.

He looks like a plug-and-play, starting-caliber 2-guard at the NBA level. Teams won't let a prospect like that sit on the board for too long.

You may not see Sheppard listed on every mock first round you'll find, but when the real event gets rolling, he'll be among the top 20 players selected.
