Rather than dilute this board.
Who is the next Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby and Jaden McDaniels?
Toolsy 3+D wing prospects, picked in the teens or 20s, good measurables, ect.

Bilal is the obvious one.

Jordan Walsh with the right shooting coach plays 10-15 years in the NBA. The length, defensive intensity/motor and athleticism are all there. He also has the kind of physique where you could literally see him filling out and being a damn monster. Like a better version of Herb Jones.

Seems like there's no hype developing around Sidy Cissoko, so I'll happily start beating that drum again. Shooting and rebounding are swing-skills but his combination of power and feel is pretty rare and a great foundation.

I watched the very little clips there are on Zvonimir Ivisic. He's huge 7'3" but shockingly skilled and moves really well. He could be a major steal I can't see why people aren't higher on him.

Because you just made him up.

I was right about 3 point shooting. I expect to be right about Tacko Fall. Some coach will figure out how to use Tacko Fall. This movement towards undersized centers will sweep ng back. Back to the basket scorers will return to the NBA.

Why are you such a jackass all the time
RE: Ivisic, his hypothetical skillset is interesting, but the highlights don't match the stats right now. In 33 games this season he shot 27% from three, and I think that is the main appeal in terms of his versatility. He looks reasonably mobile, but he isn't playing in a particularly noteworthy league. He withdrew from the draft, if he plays in a better league and his shooting numbers go up maybe there is something to look at.

Thats Julian Phillips for me.
If I had to throw out my guesses for him it would be something like:
Penthouse: Bridges (or maybe thats too high... so Herb Jones maybe?)
Lobby: Jaden McDaniels
Basement: Little
So ya, a bit of all those guys. Not sure where he ends up but I think I wouldn't be mad to hear his name for Warriors at #19.

His draft position is already getting super high. Givony has him at 11? Where do you think he will end up being ranked in this class?

Evboumwan from Princeton has an intriguing profile, not sure he gets drafted though

I like the UCLA duo (Jaime and Jaylen), could go a bit later than that. Jaime more toolsy, Clark more D.

known names but being overlooked
Tristan Vukcevic
Jaylen Clark
Jalen Wilson
Adama Sanogo
Isaiah Wong
not 'high end potential' but deep sleepers who can potentially find a role on the right team
Jalen Slawson
Omari Moore
Colin Castleton
Drew Peterson
Jordan Miller

Leaky Black isn't listed in the top 60 of most draft boards, but has had quite a few workouts scheduled. Any thoughts on what range he might go?

Also, how would you tier these players defensively: Andre Jackson, Jaylen Clark, Jordan Walsh, Leaky black?

Andre Jackson > Jaylen Clark > Leaky Black > Jordan Walsh
Walsh is kind of a gadget player, weird athletic stance and can struggle with quickness. Black is solid but doesn't recover very well from what I've seen, kind of a useful bench player type. Clark and Andre Jackson are both very very good all around defenders who will 100% stick if they can produce enough on offense (imo)

Jayveous McKinnis. Of course he will never get drafted, and likely won’t get picked up as a UDFA.
So no one will ever know that he’s overlooked.

Not if he’s been mentioned, but Ben Sheppard has a chance to be a rotation guy in the league for a long time.
