Cooper Flagg
Cameron Boozer
AJ Dybantsa
Ace Bailey
Alex Sarr
and this is IRT speculative translation to the league
Im not going to include Sarr because the only thing I know about him is his brother.
Ceiling:
Flagg: I think his ceiling can be a legit point forward while bringing DPOY level defense to the 3 and 4 spots
AJ: Has the size/length and foundation to be that high level wing scorer.
Boozer: Just so freaking skilled and still has solid size. Cant have him higher than AJ though because he can be in that funky spot of having the size of a 4 but the athleticism of a 5.
Bailey: Plenty of natural tools, but significantly behind the other 3 when it comes to day 1 elite skills. I just have that gap to big to have his ceiling realistically near the other 3.
Floor:
Flagg: I think push comes to shove, if there is one skill set from this group of guys I trust transferring to the NBA level, its Flagg's defense. And because of that, I have him with the highest floor.
Boozer: Got Boozer 2nd because ya he may get stuck in that weird 4/5 tweener zone. But we are still talking about a 6'9-6'10 dude who is a big time + passer, already shoots in the high 80s from the line, and has moved his shot to beyond the 3. Just too much skill to be a complete bust.
AJ: Does have the good foundation to be that high level wing scorer, but I dont think he is elite anywhere and doesnt have that elite skill set to fall back on like Flagg and Boozer have.
Bailey: Just so raw compared to the other 3.
