Tough for me right now, but only thinking of top prospects, overall I'd go with

Zion
Ja
Culver
Barrett (though a bit iffy on him)
Clarke
Garland
Jaxson Hayes
Bol Bol (might flip with Hayes without injury)
Coby White
Grant Williams
DeAndre Hunter

Garland a little tough to rank without playing but he'd likely be somewhere in the bottom half of the top 10 for me.

Suns specific:

Zion

Ja

Clarke
Culver
Garland

Hunter
White
Grant Williams
PJ Washington

had Garland not got injured I truly believe he would've been looked at as an ELITE PG prospect. he has a super star skill set.

Yeah. I'm not taking him ahead of Morant because the sample size is too small. I keep switching between White and him for the 2nd spot. And I know the weaknesses are still there (defense, finishing throught contact) but tell me you do not come impressed with these highlights. He wasn't consistent always, but his ball-handle and changes speeds/fakes in the pick&roll show glimpses of star. Oh, and the deep range.

Robert Horry is better than MJ, because everybody knows that 7>6.

Just in terms of profile, I like Garland more than Morant. But yes, he's difficult to rank because we haven't seen enough of him in college. Fortunately, the teams are going to be able to see more of him in the workouts to help with their evaluation. I wouldn't be surprised to see his stock rise once again before the draft.

yeah, he's super quick twitch and his stop-and-go ability and change of direction is pretty ridiculous.

12 guys I like (and my 10 favorites from last season - some small tweaks from last season based of valuing different things). No euros and no Garland.

Tier 1 (Luka/JJJ)
Zion

Tier 2 (Young)

Tier 3 (WCJ)
Culver

Tier 4 (Bamba)
Bol
Morant
White

Tier 5 (Ayton/Bagley/Mikal/Shamet/Clark)
Clarke
Horton-Tucker
Williams
Hunter
Washington
Okeke
Porter

Bunch of injured guys at the bottom of 5, I'll be interested to see who winds up in.

Still debating him for tier 5, think he could wind up there, along with a couple other guys. Really like his personality, just not sure the skills pay the bills.

2. R.J. Barrett, SG, Duke
3. Ja Morant, PG, Murray St.
4. Bol Bol, C, Oregon
5. De'Andre Hunter, SF, Virginia
6. Jarrett Culver, SG/SF, Texas Tech

9. Jaxson Hayes, C, Texas
10. Sekou Doumbouya, PF, Limoges
11. Kevin Porter Jr., SG, USC

really wanted to fit Nas Little in there somewhere but just couldn't put anyone else under him.

also Jontay would've for sure been in there if didn't re-injure himself.

Ya know, I think I'd have him in that last group, I just can't convince myself he doesn't have a shot at it. Would probably collapse tiers 4/5 after thinking about it a bit as well. Take out the injured guys who I'm not sure enter for now (Porter/Okeke).

Tier 1
Zion

Tier 2

Tier 3
Culver

Tier 4
Bol
Morant
White
Clarke
Horton-Tucker
Washington
Williams
Hunter

Tier 2
2. Morant

Tier 3
3. Garland
4. Clarke
5. Barrett

Tier 4
6. Culver
7. Bol (I want to put him higher - just wonder if he can stay healthy)
8. Hunter

Tier 5
9. White
10. Washington
11. Kabangele
12. Kevin Porter, Jr
13. Hayes
14. Doumbouya
15. Herro (ahead of Keldon Johnson though I'll probably change my mind)

Talen Horton-Tucker has to go onto my board. I just can’t figure out if I want to put him at 5 or 35. Tough prospect to figure out.

Like Dort, tht will some some wondering if they could play him at pg

This is going to sound like a weird comparison, but in the way his game translates he reminds me of a smaller Jaylen Brown. And by that I mean they’re both good defenders, have similar shooting numbers and they both get to the line. They also both flash high IQ moves. Horton-Tucker isn’t as athletic, but I think his game will open up with more space. I think his shot will be similar to Brown’s when he has more open shots.

How does that make any sense? Why not put where you have them?


I love seeing Tres Tinkle on there.

Plus, most of the guys he posted either won’t fully commit to the draft this year or they won’t be drafted.
