Stephen G Hoops’ Top 100
Big Board 2.0
The Warmup
Welcome back, friends! With a New Year comes new resolutions—of which many of us don’t keep after a few weeks. What a perfect concept to apply to ranking prospects that are looking to make the 2022 NBA Draft. For those that have taken a look at my Big Board 1.0, you’ll remember I stated that my opinion would likely change by the time the latest version of my rankings would be published. I can assure everyone that I held true to that statement. We’ll go over some players in particular, but there are some prospects that were in the Top 60 that fell out, but the good news is that we can discuss new prospects!
Before we get into the actual Big Board, here are a few things that I found interesting in watching basketball over the past month or so:
1. My Top 10
I was fairly certain that the players that comprised my Top 10 last time were going to be almost impossible to be surpassed. I was mistaken. There are a few players that have earned their insertion among the best in this class. I want to emphasize that just because some players slipped, does not mean I am suddenly down on them. On the contrary, I…well, that actually leads me to my next thought.
2. The Talent of the Class
Let’s just get this out there. I am not saying that this Draft Class is equal to or better than the prior, or will be better than or equal to the subsequent. What I am saying is that the depth of this class has shown, to me, to be a bit deeper than what my preconceived notions were. We’ll discuss players that have worked their way into my Top 10, yes, but there are several players that were not even mentioned in my Outside 20 segment last time that have worked their way into the 1st round—some that may be crashing the lottery party. With the sudden rise of some prospects, the ranking of this class has grown to be more difficult. This actually leads me to my final thought before we get into the players.
3. Margin of Talent
I’m well aware of how some folks will assess my credibility based solely upon the number given to a particular prospect. Let me explain myself. It is my opinion that the talent level separating players (approximately) ranked 25 through 65 is a very slim margin. Whether or not this is a bad thing, who’s to say? I say that to say this: If you feel that the player I currently have ranked 57th should be ranked 28th, I won’t spend an exorbitant amount of time disagreeing with you. In fact, by the time my Big Board 3.0 is dropped, I may actually agree with you.
Some housekeeping notes to quickly mention. I’ll be showing where players were previously ranked by using (Parentheses). Also, there are numbers that are shown in (Parentheses) next to the statistics and percentiles to display how each player fared in all fields on my Big Board 1.0. The hope in this is to help make my case for any player’s rise or decline.
Let’s get to the part you are all here for!
The Top 30
#1. Jabari Smith Jr. (Previously #2)
Position: Forward | School/From: Auburn | Age: 18 | Height: 6’10 | Weight: 205
PPG: 16.2 (16.3) | RPG: 6.9 (7.0) | APG: 2.2 (2.0) | FG%: 44.6 (46.4) | 3P%: 42.9 (43.3)
SPG: 1.7 (1.5) | BPG: 0.9 (1.0) | Off %ILE: 80th (86th) | Def %ILE: 91st (85th)
Jabari Smith Jr. has raced to the top of many Big Boards. It’s no longer a bold take to say “I’m just gonna come out as say it. Jabari Smith Jr. is the number one prospect. I don’t care”. That doesn’t make him being number one any less valid. Is he a perfect top pick? Of course not. He doesn’t have an elite handle. He isn’t the most gifted athlete. What he is, however, is an incredible defender that is very switchable. When guarding the Pick-and-Roll ball handler, Smith Jr. has not allowed a single point this season—albeit on just 13 possessions. He’s also in the 94th percentile while guarding his man in isolation situations. Even though he doesn’t have a superior handle, Jabari is in the 80th percentile as an isolation threat. Jabari’s motor and determination are second-to-none in this class, and those intangibles are very difficult for me to bet against.
#2. Paolo Banchero (Previously #1)
Position: Forward | School/From: Duke | Age: 19 | Height: 6’10 | Weight: 250
PPG: 17.1 (17.8) | RPG: 7.3 (7.3) | APG: 2.2 (1.9) | FG%: 48.7 (50.0) | 3P%: 33.3 (33.3)
SPG: 1.4 (1.4) | BPG: 0.7 (0.5) | Off %ILE: 78th (81st) | Def %ILE: 61st (79th)
Paolo Banchero has reached the point to where people have become bored with him. That’s easy for me to say, as he’s “fallen” on my board. This isn’t because I don’t believe in Banchero's game. The recent comparisons to Carmelo Anthony aren’t without validity. There is another take that I personally have but, as any other good content creator would do, I am saving that for future podcasts. Shameless plug complete. An area of his game that people are dying to see more of is his playmaking. To be fair to him, he has increased his assist totals ever-so-slightly. Also, it’s abundantly obvious that Duke is relying on his finishing abilities to carry them in their pursuit of a title. Outside of a limited sample of playmaking, and perhaps just an okay shooting percentage from deep, Banchero has steadily been one of the best players in the country. He grades out as “Average” in transition opportunities, per Synergy, but every other field that he grades out in, he is either “Very Good” or “Excellent”. While he isn’t my number one player, I’m certainly not ruling out the chance for him to make a comeback of sorts.
#3. Chet Holmgren (Previously #3)
Position: Big | School/From: Gonzaga | Age: 19 | Height: 7’1 | Weight: 195
PPG: 13.0 (13.8) | RPG: 8.4 (7.0) | APG: 2.3 (2.5) | FG%: 61.2 (71.0) | 3P%: 35.1 (36.8)
SPG: 0.3 (0.5) | BPG: 3.3 (3.5) | Off %ILE: 92nd (93rd) | Def %ILE: 82nd (76th)
The player I affectionately refer to as “The Venus Flytrap”, Holmgren maintains his position as my third best prospect. It’s been quite enjoyable to see that the conversation around Chet is being kept to his play lately. The scary thing that Holmgren has done since my last Big Board installment is improve his standing in overall defensive percentile. The thing I enjoy most about Chet is that he isn’t clamoring for anything more than what has been given to him. For NBA rookies, it’s becoming less likely for them to be given the keys to an organization and be asked to perform unreasonable tasks. Holmgren figures to be a smooth insertion into any system, as he possesses an Assist Percentage of 15.3%, a Block Percentage of 13.0%, and an Effective Field Goal Percentage of 67.5%. As the season moves along, it’s becoming more clear that Chet’s strengths are more safe than what many (maybe reasonable) doubters had coming into the season. His handle, touch, shooting, and defense are all unique for the “Center” position, and helps to offer versatility. Chet may be stagnant on 2.0, but he’s anything but that on the court.
#4. Jaden Ivey (Previously #5)
Position: Guard | School/From: Purdue | Age: 19 | Height: 6’4 | Weight: 200
PPG: 16.7 (15.4) | RPG: 5.1 (6.3) | APG: 3.2 (3.9) | FG%: 52.8 (52.0) | 3P%: 45.2 (43.3)
SPG: 1.3 (1.4) | BPG: 0.5 (0.4) | Off %ILE: 87th (79th) | Def %ILE: 29st (15th)
What a Sophomore campaign it’s been for Jaden Ivey. He has done so much to improve his draft stock. His shooting from deep is still going strong on solid volume, and his defense is trending in the right direction. Ivey is lauded for his athleticism, and for good reason. It’s one thing just to have athleticism. It’s another thing entirely to make it functional. Ivey has become must-watch television with his ability to blow by defenders for thunderous dunks, while also honing his chase-down blocking skills. I’m still unsure if he’ll be docked points by not being a clear-cut “lead guard”, but I am at the point to where that isn’t a huge concern for me. At 6’4, Ivey can function off of the ball, as he is scoring 1.25 Points Per Possession in those instances. Jaden also grades out in the 84th percentile as a Pick-and-Roll ball handler. While Ivey has done a solid job answering questions many this season, there are those that would like to see him improve finishing with both hands. If he can continue to improve, Ivey could be crashing many Big Boards—maybe even mine.
#5. Bennedict Mathurin (Previously #22)
Position: Wing | School/From: Arizona | Age: 19 | Height: 6’7 | Weight: 195
PPG: 18.3 (13.8) | RPG: 6.6 (6.2) | APG: 2.1 (1.5) | FG%: 49.4 (41.2) | 3P%: 37.8 (31.3)
SPG: 1.1 (0.7) | BPG: 0.3 (0.5) | Off %ILE: 88th (55th) | Def %ILE: 60th (88th)
Speaking of crashing boards and stellar Sophomore campaigns, how about the play of Bennedict Mathurin? One of my chief concerns for Mathurin was his ability to extend the defense by way of his shooting. Since my last Big Board, Bennedict has improved his three point shooting by over 6%. What makes that even more impressive is that he’s doing so on over 6 attempts per game. Mathurin’s rebounding remains a strong, but perhaps underdiscussed, aspect of his game as he grades out in the 100th percentile on put-backs! That’s insane. He has also maintained the ability to defend Pick-and-Roll ball handler at a solid clip—he’s in the 76th percentile currently. In an effort to spite my Big Board 1.0 placement of him, he has had 4 games in which he’s scored 20 or more points since I released it. That’s out of 6 games. In the other two games, he still managed to be over 10 points on at least 45% shooting from the floor.
#6. AJ Griffin (Previously #12)
Position: Wing | School/From: Duke | Age: 18 | Height: 6’6 | Weight: 222
PPG: 6.7 (4.0) | RPG: 2.5 (1.9) | APG: 0.9 (0.4) | FG%: 54.5 (44.8) | 3P%: 44.8 (40.0)
SPG: 0.5 (0.5) | BPG: 0.6 (0.4) | Off %ILE: 99th (78th) | Def %ILE: 54st (19th)
Don’t call it a comeback! Or do, it’s up to you. Seriously though, the play from AJ Griffin lately has been both outstanding and a fun story. It’s amazing how quickly Griffin has comeback from injury. While AJ did take a slight bump on my 1.0 due to injury concerns and lack of play, I was still optimistic in his talent. In his last 4 games, Griffin has averaged 12 Points Per Game while shooting over 65% from the floor. Continuing to build upon his recent play is key for Griffin to return to the ranks of the top players in the nation.
#7. Jaden Hardy (Previously #4)
Position: Guard | School/From: Ignite | Age: 19 | Height: 6’4 | Weight: 185
PPG: 17.7 (17.0) | RPG: 4.6 (5.4) | APG: 3.2 (2.8) | FG%: 35.1 (31.5) | 3P%: 26.9 (25.9)
SPG: 1.3 (1.1) | BPG: 0.3 (0.6) | Off %ILE: N/A | Def %ILE: N/A
I would like to start off by saying that I still believe in Hardy as a prospect. His descent from the number 4 position is more so an acknowledgment of the skill of the players ranked above him. This is not a “panic mode” situation. Much has been said about the efficiency of Hardy, and I understand the concern. The context of what the G-League is trying to do with Hardy, I feel, is to strengthen his game—and he actually has. His scoring numbers, assist numbers, and efficiency numbers have all improved since my last board. Questions concerning him not possessing an “elite” handle or hyper-explosive athleticism have only grown during the course of the season. Even still, Hardy has improved gradually, and still shows flashes of a skillset that many consider to be the most difficult to land. I’ll remain optimistic in that for the time being.
#8. Kendall Brown (Previously #6)
Position: Wing | School/From: Baylor | Age: 18 | Height: 6’8 | Weight: 205
PPG: 13.0 (13.7) | RPG: 3.8 (3.7) | APG: 1.6 (2.3) | FG%: 71.4 (71.9) | 3P%: 50.0 (66.7)
SPG: 1.2 (1.6) | BPG: 0.3 (0.4) | Off %ILE: 99th (98th) | Def %ILE: 92nd (86th)
I am hoping that the Kendall Brown hive does not come at me for having the Draft Twitter darling down a few spots here. Again, this isn’t a slight to Brown. What has made the decision to bring Kendall down somewhat easy, is the lack of traditional shot creation. Now, don’t get me wrong, I do feel that his off ball movement should be considered shot creation, but the players above him can do it with the ball in their hands as well. Brown’s dip in Three Point percentage isn’t everything, but it does show that volume isn’t necessarily his friend. I know, he’s shooting 50% from distance but there is a bit of a false bottom there. The positives offensively is Kendall’s cutting, where he ranks in the 100th percentile. Brown is an elite athlete, which is why he grades out in the 90th percentage in transition opportunities.
#9. Patrick Baldwin Jr. (Previously #7)
Position: Wing | School/From: Milwaukee | Age: 19 | Height: 6’10 | Weight: 220
PPG: 15.0 (15.3) | RPG: 7.0 (8.3) | APG: 1.9 (1.8) | FG%: 36.8 (36.7) | 3P%: 32.6 (25.0)
SPG: 0.9 (1.0) | BPG: 0.9 (1.0) | Off %ILE: 46th (38th) | Def %ILE: 94th (94th)
Patrick Baldwin Jr. is still playing on a bad team. He is also showing much of what I discussed on my 1.0 evaluation of him. Scouts have begun to notice what is perceived to be a lack of effort throughout games. Whether that is entirely his fault or not is another discussion. What has improved is “PBJ’s” efficiency from the floor. While it may not help his case for everyone, Baldwin Jr. will need to dominate conference play when it picks up. His performances against Florida, Colorado, and Rhode Island haven’t helped his case for being named a top 10 player, but from what I have seen from him before, the teammates he has, and his measurables make keeping him out of my top 10 difficult. College ball isn’t for everyone and, whether or not it’s a lazy take, this may be the case for PBJ.
#10. Jalen Duren (Previously #8)
Position: Big | School/From: Memphis | Age: 18 | Height: 6’10 | Weight: 250
PPG: 10.8 (11.3) | RPG: 7.6 (9.3) | APG: 1.2 (0.8) | FG%: 67.2 (64.1) | 3P%: 0.0 (0.0)
SPG: 0.9 (0.8) | BPG: 2.8 (3.7) | Off %ILE: 83rd (68th) | Def %ILE: 51st (68th)
Memphis’ offense is difficult to watch, to put it kindly. Emoni Bates running the point hasn’t been a success, as he’s even tried coming off of the bench to improve his play. With no proverbial straw to stir the Tigers’ drink, it may be easy to look at Duren’s play and be unimpressed. I would highly encourage you all not to lose interest in him. Yes, he is young, but there is more to him than the development curve. He boasts an Assist Percentage (10%) that makes him an attractive playmaker in post-up scenarios. Jalen also is an extremely mobile and surprisingly nimble athlete. Duren grades out in the 93rd percentile in put-backs, and in the 96th percentile in transition. It is easy to imagine how lethal Jalen can be with someone who can get him the ball in the areas he can do some damage.
#11. Jonathan Davis (Previously #44)
Position: Guard | School/From: Wisconsin | Age: 19 | Height: 6’5 | Weight: 194
PPG: 20.8 (20.2) | RPG: 6.6 (5.5) | APG: 2.5 (2.2) | FG%: 43.8 (42.9) | 3P%: 34.1 (36.4)
SPG: 1.5 (2.0) | BPG: 0.7 (0.6) | Off %ILE: 72nd (71st) | Def %ILE: 80th (96th)
Davis, along with Mathurin and Ivey, is proving that a Sophomore season can be used to improve your draft stock. Looking back at where I had him placed in 1.0, I am slightly frustrated with myself. There were indicators that I should have been more confident in having him in my 1st round. What’s funny is that he’s improved his play since then. Sure the efficiency isn’t the sexiest among his peers, but this is where you just have to rely on the eye test. Davis has such a mature game that translates nicely to the next level. His mid range is incredible. He grades out as “Very Good” in spot up opportunities, “Excellent” as a Pick-and-Roll ball handler, and “Good” while operating in transition. Oh, and he is a nice team defender. His footwork on defense needs to be cleaned up a bit, but the importance of defense at his position isn’t super important—depending on the scheme.
#12. Caleb Houstan (Previously #10)
Position: Wing | School/From: Michigan | Age: 18 | Height: 6’8 | Weight: 205
PPG: 9.3 (8.8) | RPG: 4.3 (4.2) | APG: 1.4 (1.8) | FG%: 37.1 (34.7) | 3P%: 33.9 (25.8)
SPG: 0.7 (0.5) | BPG: 0.3 (0.3) | Off %ILE: 49th (38th) | Def %ILE: 14th (7th)
To be honest, Houstan isn’t really doing much right now to justify his current placement. His shooting has improved since my last board—over 8% from deep. While it was a very low bar to clear, Caleb has also doubled where he placed in his overall defensive percentile. Michigan won’t do much to simply showcase Houstan, but he still has to make the best of the chances he gets. He still shows good passing ability, despite not having the counting stats to validate those flashes. Caleb will need to demonstrate more consistency moving forward, otherwise his standing on 3.0 may not be as kind. Potential to drop.
#13. Tari Eason (Previously Not Listed)
Position: Forward | School/From: LSU | Age: 20 | Height: 6’8 | Weight: 216
PPG: 15.8 (N/A) | RPG: 7.4 (N/A) | APG: 0.8 (N/A) | FG%: 53.4 (N/A) | 3P%: 27.6 (N/A)
SPG: 1.7 (N/A) | BPG: 1.4 (N/A) | Off %ILE: 84th (N/A) | Def %ILE: 22nd (N/A)
Not only does Eason continue the strong Sophomore vibes we have going here, but he is the first and only prospect that goes from zero to lotto between Big Board iterations. I’m going to acknowledge that Eason is in the 22nd percentile defensively. I’m also just going to say "watch the film”. Eason pops there. He is ridiculously strong at this level, and projects to guard positions 2-4 1/2. He has a Steal Percentage of 3.9% and a Block Percentage of 8.5%. On the offensive end, Tari is at his best operating in transition (92nd percentile) and as a roll man (75th percentile). He isn’t the best shooter, which hurts his overall standing, but Eason has demonstrated sound finishing and passing that could make him a dangerous 3-and-D player in the NBA.
#14. Kennedy Chandler (Previously #9)
Position: Guard | School/From: Tennessee | Age: 19 | Height: 6’1 | Weight: 172
PPG: 14.0 (14.3) | RPG: 3.0 (2.8) | APG: 5.3 (5.2) | FG%: 44.4 (48.5) | 3P%: 37.2 (50.0)
SPG: 2.0 (2.7) | BPG: 0.5 (0.8) | Off %ILE: 57th (75th) | Def %ILE: 83rd (48th)
Kennedy has dipped a bit here on my 2.0, which is in line with a bit of a dip in his offensive production. Chandler’s size has become a topic for debate lately, but I can assure you that his size did not factor into his positioning here. Kennedy remains a lottery prospect because he is a tremendous table setter for his team (32.6% Assist Percentage; 14.1% Turnover Percentage), while also being a fantastic defender. Possessing a Steal Percentage of 3.8%, Kennedy is a constant threat to get his team easy transition buckets. His performances against Texas Tech and Arizona are going to be used as “yeah, but” games, however Chandler will have plenty of opportunities in conference play to address whatever concerns analysts have.
#15. Hugo Besson (Previously #11)
Position: Guard | Team: New Zealand | Age: 20 | Height: 6’3 | Weight: 196
PPG: 15.8 (19.5) | RPG: 4.7 (4.3) | APG: 1.5 (2.9) | FG%: 38.3 (48.4) | 3P%: 35.0 (36.5)*
SPG: 0.2 (1.0) | BPG: 0.0 (0.2) | Off %ILE: N/A | Def %ILE: N/A
*Stats in parentheses are from last season due to player’s season*
Besson has been my top international prospect since before the season started—which was not the popular opinion then. Subtle brag over. He has now emerged as that level of prospect for many now. He is just a pure bucket on the floor. There is a bit of a debate as to what “position” he plays, but he figures to be effective anywhere in the backcourt. The adjustment to NBL play hasn’t seemed to slow him down much. He’ll need to tighten up his shot selection, but the fact that he is confident enough to get his own bucket is very reassuring. With the struggle of his countryman, Dieng, Besson has been asked to do more for his team. He has answered by leading his team in scoring.
#16. Keegan Murray (Previously #28)
Position: Forward | School/From: Iowa | Age: 21 | Height: 6’8 | Weight: 215
PPG: 23.7 (24.6) | RPG: 8.2 (8.9) | APG: 1.4 (1.6) | FG%: 58.4 (61.2) | 3P%: 30.2 (34.5)
SPG: 1.6 (1.1) | BPG: 2.0 (2.3) | Off %ILE: 98th (98th) | Def %ILE: 9th (7th)
Hey, look. It’s another Sophomore having a good season. Murray got off to a videogame-like start to the season, but his numbers have come down just a smidge. He only has a 42.9 PER now. What has become popular when discussing Keegan now is how drastic his performance varies when facing more high-end talent. His only single digit performance of the season came against Iowa State, where he scored 9 points on 23.5% shooting. Other than that, his games against Virginia and Illinois were actually solid—just not as obnoxious as his other games. While his Three Point percentage is down from last month, Murray is still hitting shots at a decent clip and shows good touch at seemingly every level on the court.
#17. Wendell Moore Jr. (Previously #40)
Position: Perimeter | School/From: Duke | Age: 20 | Height: 6’5 | Weight: 213
PPG: 17.0 (17.9) | RPG: 5.5 (6.3) | APG: 5.0 (5.7) | FG%: 58.6 (57.8) | 3P%: 41.3 (34.4)
SPG: 1.4 (1.7) | BPG: 0.1 (0.0) | Off %ILE: 94th (90th) | Def %ILE: 73rd (81st)
Wendell Moore Jr., like the previously-discussed Jonathan Davis, had all of the indications that he should have been in the 1st round on my 1.0. I’ll take another “L” here, but I do so happily. Wendell’s rise is a great story, as he had lottery expectations as a Freshman. He’s now a Júnior, but is a young one at just 20 years of age. His shooting from deep has improved mightily since my first board, as he is now above 41%. Some of his other counting numbers have come down, but do so at a time in which AJ Griffin is coming back into form. It’s encouraging to see the efficiency rise as the opportunities slightly decrease. It also helps that Moore Jr. grades out in the 86th percentile operating off of the ball. Wendell will have an opportunity to climb higher on 3.0, and I’m almost expecting it at this point.
#18. Harrison Ingram (Previously #13)
Position: Forward | School/From: Stanford | Age: 19 | Height: 6’8 | Weight: 225
PPG: 12.2 (12.0) | RPG: 6.9 (6.7) | APG: 3.1 (3.4) | FG%: 41.7 (42.0) | 3P%: 31.0 (34.8)
SPG: 0.9 (0.7) | BPG: 0.3 (0.4) | Off %ILE: 55th (63rd) | Def %ILE: 65th (69th)
While Ingram has taken a few steps back on my 2.0, he has a chance to climb right back up. Having admitted that players like Davis and Moore Jr. should have been higher to begin with, Ingram likely would have been around this point initially. He doesn’t have incredible athleticism, but Ingram makes up for that with tremendous feel. Harrison has a great 21.1% Assist Percentage, to go along with a very nice 14.0% Rebounding Percentage. Harrison often gets criticized for his defensive ability, but he ranks in the 97th percentile in covering the Pick-and-Roll ball handler and in the 99th percentile in defending screens.
#19. Jean Montero (Previously #20)
Position: Guard | Team: OTE | Age: 18 | Height: 6’2 | Weight: 170
PPG: 19.0 (13.2) | RPG: 9.3 (4.4) | APG: 5.7 (3.5) | FG%: 56.9 (40.2) | 3P%: 27.7 (26.0)*
SPG: 2.3 (1.8) | BPG: 0.3 (0.1) | Off %ILE: N/A | Def %ILE: N/A
*Stats in parentheses are from last season due to player’s season*
Be careful what you wish for. I’ve been looking for OTE stats for weeks and have finally come across them. One would think more information would help evaluations—especially in scouting an up-start league. That isn’t necessarily the case with Montero. In comparison to his numbers playing professionally for Gran Canaria, his numbers against high school level competition are expectedly better. His nose for rebounds is apparent on film and in the box scores. He is also a pest as a point-of-attack defender. Leaning more into his performances in which he played against top competition in tournaments and exhibitions, Montero stands apart in those seldomly-held occurrences. His evaluation remains a difficult one.
#20. Nikola Jovic (Previously #15)
Position: Forward | Team: Mega Basket | Age: 18 | Height: 6’10 | Weight: 205
PPG: 10.8 (9.2) | RPG: 4.3 (4.0) | APG: 2.8 (3.2) | FG%: 41.3 (40.5) | 3P%: 37.7 (34.3)
SPG: 0.6 (0.6) | BPG: 0.5 (0.4) | Off %ILE: N/A | Def %ILE: N/A
Jovic is having a better stretch as of late and is a prime candidate to rise between now and my 3.0 revision. In his last 4 games, Nikola has averaged 15.5 Points Per Game, while shooting 43.5% from distance. Jovic is growing more comfortable with his teammates, as he is averaging 3 Assists Per Game in that 4 game stretch. He is still turning the ball over more than I would like to see, but I am optimistic when observing the chances he is taking as a creator. Jovic is only shooting 44.6% on twos this season, which is down from almost 72% last year. While that is concerning, he is improving as the season progresses.
#21. TyTy Washington Jr. (Previously #23)
Position: Guard | School/From: Kentucky | Age: 20 | Height: 6’3 | Weight: 185
PPG: 13.9 (14.9) | RPG: 4.3 (5.1) | APG: 3.5 (2.9) | FG%: 48.9 (47.2) | 3P%: 39.0 (40.0)
SPG: 1.1 (1.1) | BPG: 0.3 (0.4) | Off %ILE: 76th (71st) | Def %ILE: 78th (78th)
With Washington Jr. having one of the widest draft ranges among draft analysts, he has climbed a couple of spots for me. It remains to be seen if Kentucky will ever hand him the keys to the offense, but Washington Jr. has shown the ability to make things happen for himself and others. It doesn’t get talked about much, but TyTy grades out as “Very Good” when defending Pick-and-Roll ball handlers. Sharing creation duties with Wheeler isn’t going to let us see the full gambit of Washington Jr.’s ability to orchestrate an offense, but Kentucky players typically have a way of making sacrifices for the supposed betterment of the team. TyTy has an opportunity to continue to climb over the next month.
#22. Trevor Keels (Previously #30)
Position: Perimeter | School/From: Duke | Age: 18 | Height: 6’5 | Weight: 221
PPG: 12.7 (11.9) | RPG: 3.3 (3.6) | APG: 2.9 (3.3) | FG%: 41.9 (35.9) | 3P%: 31.1 (30.2)
SPG: 1.9 (2.1) | BPG: 0.0 (0.0) | Off %ILE: 63rd (39th) | Def %ILE: 66th (61st)
To give myself credit, I did say I couldn’t believe where Keels was placed on my 1.0 Big Board. Trevor has a 3.5% Steal Percentage, which reflects what we see him do on the court: create chaos. Duke has the luxury of having multiple players carry the load depending on matchups. Over the past month Keels has done well to improve his efficiency, as well as his overall offensive and defensive percentiles. Trevor also takes good care of the rock, as he has a turnover percentage of only 9.3% on a 21.5% usage percentage. With his frame, along with ranking in the 82nd percentile in defending the Pick-and-Roll, and in the 91st percentile against spot up situations, Keels figures to make a solid pro.
#23. JD Davison (Previously #24)
Position: Guard | School/From: Alabama | Age: 19 | Height: 6’3 | Weight: 195
PPG: 8.4 (8.3) | RPG: 5.0 (4.7) | APG: 4.4 (4.9) | FG%: 50.7 (54.1) | 3P%: 28.6 (26.7)
SPG: 0.8 (0.6) | BPG: 0.2 (0.3) | Off %ILE: 36th (36th) | Def %ILE: 32nd (39th)
The timing of this Big Board isn’t particularly friendly to Davison. To be completely transparent, I had Davison decently higher not too long ago, but was reminded as to why I had him close to this position on my last board. Despite having elite athleticism for his position, there is still some work to do in terms of reading a defense. On a positive not, JD has improved his shooting from deep. He also has speed that you cannot teach. His Assist Percentage is very nice at 29.1%, but the turnovers hurt him, as he averages 3.2 Per Game in almost 24 Minutes Per Game. His rebounding is off the charts, as he averages almost 1 1/2 Offensive Rebounds a game.
#24. Dyson Daniels (Previously #16)
Position: Perimeter | Team: Ignite | Age: 18 | Height: 6’6 | Weight: 175
PPG: 11.3 (10.1) | RPG: 6.2 (5.3) | APG: 4.4 (4.1) | FG%: 44.9 (46.0) | 3P%: 25.5 (30.4)
SPG: 1.9 (1.1) | BPG: 0.7 (0.9) | Off %ILE: N/A | Def %ILE: N/A
Dyson Daniels has to share the floor with some very talented players, but he continues to find ways to improve. Being upfront, the shooting isn’t pretty. His Free Throw percentage is 73.7%, which I’m sure we’d all love to point to as an indication that his long ball can get better. We’ll see. However, Dyson has as 11.1% Rebounding Percentage, a 20.5% Assist Percentage, a 3.0% Steal Percentage, and a 2.3% Block Percentage. Daniels has shown the ability to be a steady hand for a team that has what figures to be a Top 10 pick this year, and a basketball prodigy that may go 1st overall next year.
#25. Ochai Agbaji (Previously #25)
Position: Wing | School/From: Kansas | Age: 21 | Height: 6’5 | Weight: 215
PPG: 21.5 (22.5) | RPG: 4.5 (3.5) | APG: 1.6 (1.7) | FG%: 56.3 (55.3) | 3P%: 47.8 (41.7)
SPG: 1.1 (1.0) | BPG: 0.3 (0.2) | Off %ILE: 97th (94th) | Def %ILE: 79th (84th)
As ridiculous as his numbers were about a month ago, Agbaji may have even improved his game since then. His nearly 48% from deep is on over 6 Attempts Per Game. His over 56% from the floor is on over 14 Attempts Per Game. On a Usage Percentage of just under 25%, he is only committing 1.3 Turnovers Per Game. Synergy grades him as “Excellent” in transition, on spot ups, operating the Pick-and-Roll, and on hand offs. Defensively, he’s graded as “Very Good” against spot ups and in isolation situations. If Ochai can keep this level of play up, it will be hard-pressed to limit him as a late 1st round talent.
#26. Mark Williams (Previously #26)
Position: Big | School/From: Duke | Age: 20 | Height: 7” | Weight: 242
PPG: 8.4 (9.6) | RPG: 5.7 (6.5) | APG: 1.1 (0.9) | FG%: 67.7 (63.6) | 3P%: 0.0 (0.0)
SPG: 0.8 (0.8) | BPG: 2.9 (3.0) | Off %ILE: 98th (94th) | Def %ILE: 69th (74th)
Rounding out Duke’s top 5 players is the Sophomore Center, Mark Williams. It remains to be seen if Williams will maintain his place as a 1st round talent by the draft, but he is doing enough right now to maintain his position. Williams has a Steal Percentage of 2.2% and a Block Percentage of 15.3%. He also is one of the better offensive rebounders in the nation, averaging 2.4 Per Game. Williams is sound athlete as well, which has helped him in being graded out in the 98th percentile in transition. As a roll man, Mark is in the 100th percentile. On cuts, he is in the 99th percentile.
#27. MarJon Beauchamp (Previously #21)
Position: Perimeter | Team: Ignite | Age: 20 | Height: 6’6 | Weight: 200
PPG: 15.1 (16.4) | RPG: 7.3 (7.4) | APG: 2.5 (1.9) | FG%: 57.1 (57.3) | 3P%: 24.2 (28.6)
SPG: 1.6 (1.7) | BPG: 0.6 (1.0) | Off %ILE: N/A | Def %ILE: N/A
MarJon did a great job of handling a lot of the scoring responsibilities in the early going for the Ignite, but has since had to dial it back. He’s scoring efficiently from the floor on about 11 Attempts Per Game, but his Deep ball isn’t falling—which seems to be the theme for his squad. While he has shown a lack of shooting from deep, he is hitting on 68% of his twos. With good athleticism and touch, Beauchamp has the ability to be a solid scorer, but will need to show that he is a threat from deep to climb up on my 3.0 installment.
#28. Christian Braun (Previously Not Listed)
Position: Wing | School/From: Kansas | Age: 20 | Height: 6’6 | Weight: 205
PPG: 17.3 (N/A) | RPG: 6.5 (N/A) | APG: 2.7 (N/A) | FG%: 62.0 (N/A) | 3P%: 34.4 (N/A)
SPG: 1.5 (N/A) | BPG: 1.4 (N/A) | Off %ILE: 96th (N/A) | Def %ILE: 21st (N/A)
Christian Braun debuts as a prospect here on my 2.0. Braun is garnering much attention this season due to the all-around arsenal he deploys. While his previously-discussed teammate, Ochai Agbaji, attracts plenty of attention, the defense cannot rest against Christian, as is a force in of himself. He grades out in the 99th percentile on cutting, and in the 76th percentile in spot ups. While he’s not a stalwart defensively, he ranks in the 60th percentile while defending isolation plays. Braun is a good rebounder, as he holds a 12.5% Rebounding Percentage. Boasting a Steal Percentage of 2.5% and a Block Percentage of 4.8% doesn’t hurt either.
#29. Max Christie (Previously #27)
Position: Wing | School/From: Michigan St. | Age: 18 | Height: 6’6 | Weight: 190
PPG: 9.4 (7.9) | RPG: 3.3 (3.3) | APG: 1.6 (1.6) | FG%: 36.5 (33.3) | 3P%: 30.8 (25.9)
SPG: 0.5 (0.7) | BPG: 0.7 (0.3) | Off %ILE: 47th (37th) | Def %ILE: 53rd (42nd)
Christie is a player that I wasn’t overly impressed with on my 1.0, but he has slightly improved over the past month. In his most recent game against Oakland, Max showcased the shooting that many have been wanting to see all season, as he was 4-for-6 from deep. He has made strides in essentially every aspect of his game since my last board, and could finally be feeling more comfortable in his role and with the level of competition. His shooting motion, youth, and preseason expectations have kept him in 1st round contention, but there is a grouping of players vying for late 1st round notoriety. We’ll see if Christie can hang on.
#30. Alex Fudge (Previously Not Listed)
Position: Wing | School/From: LSU | Age: 18 | Height: 6’8 | Weight: 185
PPG: 4.8 (N/A) | RPG: 4.5 (N/A) | APG: 0.5 (N/A) | FG%: 46.0 (N/A) | 3P%: 20.0 (N/A)
SPG: 1.5 (N/A) | BPG: 0.6 (N/A) | Off %ILE: 27th (N/A) | Def %ILE: 95th (N/A)
Rounding out my 1st round is a player that didn’t make my Big Board 1.0 at all. No, the offense from Fudge isn’t anything to write home about, at least not yet. However, the activity Alex gives his LSU team defensively while coming off of the bench is amazing. Fudge has a Steal and Block percentage of over 5%. He only allows 0.524 Point Per Possession as a defender, while being ranked in the 94th percentile on defending spot ups. While the offense isn’t sexy, Fudge ranks in the 79th percentile in cutting, and in the 68th percentile in transition.
