This draft should be similar to the Teague draft with many quality pgs available with the Spurs/Cavs pick.

Boozer is looking like a gen talent like Duncan. Its hard to say anything about DP right now as he is MIA.

Boozer's mid range is going to give him a 20 year NBA career.

Tyrese Maxey 2.0

Labaron Philon Jr., 6-4 Guard, Alabama

It feels like Philon isn’t a real part of the top-10 conversation in this draft right now, but there’s a good chance that changes. He’s a dynamic on-ball prospect, which is something a lot of teams in the NBA can use right now.

Philon is a nightmare to defend when looking to score, as he’s capable of knocking down triples, shooting off the bounce, and getting to the basket. He also has tremendous touch when going to his floater, and the way he can create space is flat-out absurd. Philon is also an improving playmaker, and he’s getting better and better when it comes to doing the little things required to run an offense.

If he can continue to make strides as an outside shooter, there’s really nothing preventing him from being viewed as the second-best lead guard in this draft.

Caleb Wilson, 6-10 Forward, UNC

This class seems to have a three-player tier at the top, but there’s a few others with superstar potential. Wilson is one of them. The 6-foot-10 forward should be an awesome multi-positional defender in the pros. He possesses the size, strength, and athleticism to size up or down, he’s a good shot-blocker, and he gets himself in passing lanes — and swipes the basketball rather often.

The biggest concern with Wilson is efficiency on offense. He’s already a player that impacts games with his athleticism and finishing ability, showing good timing as a cutter and a great feel for scoring in transition. His jumper also looks pretty sound mechanically. However, Wilson’s shot selection can be a problem, and he doesn’t look very comfortable creating offense for himself. Some of that will need to be cleaned up in order for him to reach his potential. But grabbing Wilson will be a nice consolation prize for teams that miss on some of the other studs in this class.

Dame Lillard 2.0?

Mikel Brown Jr., 6-5 Guard, Louisville

Brown’s going to be a hot commodity for any team in need of some offensive juice. The 19-year-old is an electric shot-maker, capable of really changing games with his ability to knock down jumpers — and he does so with deep, deep range. Brown is also capable of making pretty much any pass in the book, making him a player that could put up some outrageous numbers with the spacing provided at the next level. His next team is just going to need to be willing to work with his weaknesses.

Brown isn’t all that productive as a driver, so he really needs the jumper to be falling in order to do his damage. Fortunately, more often than not, he’s not going to go completely cold. Brown is also a bit of a sieve defensively. However, a lack of strength and muscle could be the culprit for both. So, let's see what he looks like when he packs on some muscle in an NBA training room. There’s serious upside here.
