    Who do you think will be considered the 5 best players from this draft (in 5 years or so)? Rank them 1-5, best to worst.

    1) Chet Holmgren
    2) Jabari Smith
    3) Chet Holmgren
    4) Jabari Smith
    5) Keegan Murray

    Which 3 players do you think will be the most highly-touted players that end up a bust in 5 years? In other words - most overrated. And please, no fairly-consensus 2nd round players should make your list. The bigger the name that ends up a bust, the better you look.


    1) Patrick Baldwin Jr. (sorry ApacheWarrior)
    2) Kessler Walker (sorry Kessler fans)
    3) Ron Harper Jr. (sorry Ron Harper Sr.)

    Who do you think the Rockets will draft with their picks at #3, #17, and #26. If you think the Rockets will ultimately trade those picks and move up or out, go ahead and state so. If anybody gets this one right, I'll be impressed. :D (Note : if these positions/picks change before the draft, just update the thread with your changes, if you want)

    3) Paolo Banchero
    17) traded
    26) traded

    4th (?): Jabari will be labeled a bust in Orlando, traded elsewhere then become an all-star.

    Initially thought this was a good idea. BUT LOL! It's impossible to read without knowing where they land. Should refresh this after the draft.

    honestly we need someone to generate the stats. based on what i can see it looks like Ivey might be the highest not bust % of any pick based on the consesus here.

    very interesting.

    3) Ivey or Chet (whichever is there)
    possibly trading with the Kings at 4 to take Ivey if the Kings want Paolo and will offer other assets to take him at 3.
    17)
    26)

    I think they trade up for Jovic or Sochan.
    And/or they use picks/EGo to dump more salary and be substantially under the cap for 2022-23.

    I can see us buying or trading for a second rounder to grab a guy like:
    Leonard Miller
    Montero
    Bouyeau
    Lofton, Jr.
    Lewis
    Orlando Robinson
    Ryan Rollins
    Gillespie
