Toughest choice is probably Queen over Sorber as I think Sorber is probably the safer pick and has some decent upside with his passing ability and some shooting upside.

A few surprises. I thought for certain you would have Saraf over Gonzalez, and Essengue over Newell.
I liked Gonzalez when I watched his summer game stuff. Hard to really evaluate him this season. And Essengue is really good and super young.

Sorber - i just love his game. It was tough but the weight he carries worries me a little.
Johnson - might be #4 on my big board behind Kas. I actually like him over Ace right now.
Jak - could be #2 on my board but just can't put him over Harper. Love his game. Fears is gaining steam though.
Traore - was a fan day 1 and just trying to stick to my guns. He has his flaws but also a high ceiling.
Newell - defense intrigues me.
Saraf - just seems to have the IT gene.
Toughest for me was Fland over Traore as I'm a homer for both. Easiest for me was McNeely over Kon, as I'm pretty high on McNeely and pretty down on Kon vs the mocks I've seen. The one I'm least confident on is Hugo over Saraf as they have such different roles and Hugo almost never plays.

I really don't get the Kon love in the mocks.
VJ can absolutely fly. He might go number one if you picked off of highlights only:

The hops are impressive, but I think teams are going to see him as mostly a defensive combo-guard and draft him in the 8 - 11 range, especially if he measures out on the smaller side.
I kind of get it. I think he's like a higher IQ Sensabaugh.
The Kon media glazing has been laughable, but I only feel strongly about 7-8 guys in this draft. I'm not opposed ranking him outside of those first few tiers. He's probably going to be a very good shooter despite the low 3FG% and he does seem to possess a decent level of IQ and skill level. Defensively I am definitely concerned though.
