I have serious doubts about his ability to form any sort of reliable jumper... and he's not as freak an athlete as Giannis... so to me that limits his ceiling greatly... to me he is the worst prospect on the list currently.

He is different than Giannis stylistically. Giannis even now is a much less talented distributor than Simmons was in college for instance.

For me it's the opposite, I think it makes more sense for the Warriors to trade Durant now for a young player on this list than for anyone to trade for Durant. If they were willing to pay everyone getting Towns would be massive for the Warriors, it would extend their window so much, and the current season with Durant is not a guaranteed title considering the discord

Simmons

I realize that this is unorthodox but maybe I can recommend something abstract and include the 2019 1st overall pick on the list? I would be curious what most people would value that asset amongst these players.

V: Ayton
N: Fox (Should be on the list easily)

Vote: Tatum
Nominate: Fox

I still think Tatum’s ceiling is Paul George 2.0 and his floor is Paul George. Super talented kid. Great footwork and has a knack for scoring. I think he’s being slept on because of Boston’s struggles as a team.
