Honestly think Joel Embiid and Jabari should be on 50/50 list.
I bet one of those two will stay.
WRONG

Kaminsky v McGary
I’d take Kaminsky in a second before I’d take McGary. McGary has few skills which translate into an NBA career while Kaminsky has a vasy]t array of skills which will allow him to be a valuable role player at the next level.
Nash
Kaminsky is a great player who plays like a European. Also, LeBryan Nash should get drafted.
depends on what roster ?
These two are not that comparable.Kaminsky is decent, but McGary prior to the back surgery and suspension was probably returning to school and would have likely been a lottery pick in 2015 just as he would have if he’d have declared last yr. Now mcGary will be a steal to whoever gets him mid-late first round in this loaded class. Kaminski could turn into a decent rotation pf if he ever gets drafted but as it stands right now mcgary still has more potential at the next level with his athletic abilty and court awareness imo

Kyle Anderson
I am a huge UCLA fan, but having said that I believe Kyle Anderson has a chance to be the biggest bust of the draft. He has skills, but he’s not nearly quick enough or strong enough at the PG position and he certainly doesn’t have the strength to play upfront. He has been a winner at all levels, so I won’t count him out, but I don’t know what position he plays in the NBA. He reminds me a little of Austin Daye, although Anderson is a better all round player. Finishing at the rim won’t happen and his shooting skills are just so/so
I think Anderson WILL be a
I think Anderson WILL be a good player eventually in the league. I just don’t think that he will pay dividends for the team that drafts him (meaning, he will take more than 4-5 years to reach his potential). I don’t think he will be a bust, but as far as a bust as a draft pick I see what you are saying. Someone will try to make him a SF, who plays off the ball, based on his lack of foot speed and height. Then, 7 years later he will eventually be given the "Ron Harper" duties (maybe the Knicks will try to acquire him) of the triangle offense where big guards are important and he will have success with the ball in his hands.
Kyle Anderson played point
Kyle Anderson played point guard last year. I don’t see any team drafting him unless they want him as a point guard.

Alessandro Gentile
Did Gentile declare? He’s not on this list but he’s still on the big board (which was updated 4/30, same as this list) and I’m still seeing him in a couple mocks… also it didn’t automatically take him out of my pool like it did the other prospects.
