It's that time of the year again. Pick a prospect you will outperform expectations the most (or whoever you like more compared to relative consensus). You can pick Cade Cunningham if you want, but you'll be lame.

Jared Butler. Last year I tabbed Bane… I think I may have a type
 
Are they similar? I dont think so....
I think they have a lot of similarities. Bane worked more on ball in college than at Memphis where he is more of just a two guard... at least for now. I think he has good potential as a part time creator.

Box are proven big 12 guards that shoot the **** out of the ball. Both are lauded for their bball IQ and leadership personality traits... both guys also have limitations because of size and athleticism (Bane less so... just he isn't some explosive vertical athlete)... both guys get dinged for wingspan being like a +1 or even.

Butler has a better handle... Bane is more athletic. Both are guys that are almost surefire NBA players but might have a lower ceiling. Butler is more of a pg, but his rookie season likely looks a lot like Bane's unless he lands in a situation that sucks and he gets a lot of ball handling duties.

I think Butler is the better prospect and will go higher than Bane did... unless the medicals are too scary.
 
I like Garuba, but there's almost no shot the Jazz will get him.
I'll go with Vrenz. I think if he gets on an NBA conditioning program, he can have a 2-way impact.
 
Last year I showed what I know (nothing) and chose Isaac Okoro. I'll put a hex on Jeremiah Earl-Robinson this year.

(Couldn't quite figure out who the coach is with few defensive demands that will let Sandro Mamukelasvili play enough for him to blossom into the Nikola Jokic/Ben Simmons point-center hybrid I have conjured up for him on offense in my mind.)

I’m utterly convinced Ayo Dosunmu is going to drastically outperform his draft position and I hope he’ll be doing it in Utah.
 
My wife is leaving Sunday night with the kids—for four days, not for good. I’m gonna deep dive this draft and give my Cy like rankings—I’ll try to do top 45.

since no one is expecting anything out of him it won't be hard to outperform that type of expetations.
 
Haven't followed the draft a ton, but I'm a big Jared Butler fan. I do like him for some different reasons than HH, however. I have a different view on potential than the norm. If you go through previous drafts and look at the guys who exceeded their draft position, you'll find a lot of guys who were cast as role players for one reason or another (size, age, athleticism, ect).

I think Butler could be one of those guys. I love the smoothness of his game and ability to score/playmake in different situations. He's also a tough defender with a great deal of strength. I can more easily see him being an all star than a lot of the typical "high potential" run and jump athletes.
