I think entering the season there was a clear top 6, and then everyone else but at this point the draft board has shifted a bit. There seems now to be a clear top 3, and then a huge gap. Tier 2 consists of 5-7 players depending on how you define tier 2. There seems to be a good pool of project players (more than last year) that have huge potential around the back end of the 1st round. Then there are the weird players like Buddy Hield where I'm not sure where to take them.
But I think Simmons, Ingram and Bender are the clear cream of this crop -- Simmons and Ingram has shown to be awesome, and Bender is exactly where we predicted him to be on a ridiculously deep tel aviv team.
Tier 1
Simmons
Ingram
Bender
Tier 2
Brown
Murray
Dunn
Ellenson
Rabb
Jacob Poeltl*
Skal Labissiere*
Project guys:
Zhou Qi
Stone
Deyonte Davis
Melo Trimble
Stephen Zimmerman
Weird guys I wanna take but feel like anywhere is too early:
Hield
Grayson Allen
Denzel Valentine
Thougts?

I feel like simmons is in his own tier Whats your opinion on Hield? He looks like crawford to me -- instant offense but little passing

I like Hield a lot. Best 2-guard in college without a doubt. He's not a point guard for sure, but I don't think his passing is bad. His ast% for the year is 14.8% and in the first four conference games it's jumped to 22.9%. I'd put him in that tier two behind Simmons and Ingram.
Kind of eh on some of those guys in tier 2. Wouldn't touch Labisierre with a ten-foot pole. If I'm him, I'd stay another year. Not even close to ready for the NBA

“The second part of it, the middle part of this draft [in the first round] is still very soft, shallow and so there’s a huge discrepancy when you talk to NBA people once you get out of the top eight, maybe nine prospects, who is going to make up that back end of the lottery.”
Sounds like the NBA people don't know who of those project guys is gonna step up and push for a late lottery pick...
