Cade is definitely ahead of the rest, and to me Suggs almost is also ahead of Kuminga and Mobley

you don't even like Kuminga and had him as strictly a PF

I’ll repeat what others have said. I think it’s a top 4 Kuminga, Mobley, Suggs, and Cade (yes that’s my current order of them as well). I also think it won’t take much for Green to play himself into making it a legit top 5.

Right now I would do Kuminga 1, Mobley 2, then personal preference with Suggs and Cade.

Baylor's outstanding backcourt of Davion Mitchell and Jared Butler... which one's the better prospect and how high should they go in the draft?

Mitchell is the better prospect to me, Butler is okay but nothing all that special, I'd take Davion's versatility over him

I like Butler more; see a higher chance of getting a starter from him than Mitchell -- who is just a bench microwave for me -- & would grab him in the early-20s/late-teens.

Ive got Butler late 1st and Mitchell somewhere in the middle of the 2nd.

I'm a bigger fan - have them both mid 1st. Mitchell's really on a tear - producing well with excellent efficiency. I thought of him as a Patrick Beverly type, but his offense has improved so much - both hitting 3's and driving hard to the hoop.

Am I the only one who seen Mitchell and had to google check if it was Donovan Mitchell's brother? Lol

Looks like him and wears his number

This is another guy that I would love to see playing along side Bradley Beal.

He should be a lottery pick this upcoming draft. I think him and Jared Butler are being underrated because they're upperclassmen.

Before this common era of one-and-done players going to the NBA became the norm; my bias was toward the upperclassman. I recall the draft that had Emeka Okafor and Dwight Howard. I confess I thought Okafor was going to be the better player.

Jared Butler has improved in each of his three seasons at Baylor.

Ayo Dosunmu Has done the same at Illinois.

Now, however, I assume Jalen Suggs will be on a whole different level talent-wise in the NBA even if I can’t say he’s a much better college player than either one of those guys. The same is true for Sharife Cooper. Based on talent alone he should be rated higher.

Or, maybe there is a bias that favors freshmen and other players perceived to have potential upside. I just have to remember how much better Dwight Howard was than college player of the year Okafor.

Thoughts on Ben Mathurin?

Late lotto to 20ish right now. Still just 18 and seems to be on the upswing developmentally. Love his game. Plug and play wing that does a little of everything. Don't think he is elite at anything and doesn't seem to have an elite physical profile. He will likely get drafted way too low considering his buzz and what actually has value in the NBA.

He is one of my sleepers for the Grizzlies if they are not in the top 10 but I also would not be shocked if he is top 10 by draft day.

I haven't watched him so I can't say anything but wouldn't it be accurate to say his shooting is elite so far?

Jaden Springer is so good

The way draft Twitter is like “nope, we’re not doing this Kuminga at #1 thing” is so weird to me. He’s clearly a candidate to go #1.

I like him a lot. Brogdon vibes.

Don’t see him dropping outside the lottery.
