I would probably take Dybantsa #1 overall. I feel like I'm going to flip flop on this all year, but he'd probably be my #1.

The versatility question continues to reign supreme in my mind. Easy to slot AJ into a rotation without logjam questions and I’m not particularly concerned with his defensive ceiling (I’m somewhat worried about both with Boozer).

I probably haven’t done enough research on Peterson but nothing has jumped off the screen of what I’ve seen and I haven’t heard any crazy metrics. The injury stuff is starting to enter the equation a little.

I just think he's the biggest and most athletic with real ball skills.

Peterson is great though and it's a shame we won't get to see more.
 
Whoever goes #1 it may be because of how they fit the team at the top. I truly can’t decide. I think AJ and Peterson are easier to put into our developing core but Boozer might be the best centerpiece of an offense between the three of them.

Good thing we won’t have a pick cuz who wants that stress… jk jk we don’t have to start the tank talk again.
 
Is a good comp for Carr going to be like Zach Lavine but you hope he's much better on defense.

I think he could be like Trey Murphy. Elite play finisher type of wing and maybe just okay at making self created shots. Both guys can make the tough buckets, but I don't think that's their main game. Carr looks more agile with and without the ball, but he's not as sure of a shooter as Murphy.

I think he would do well with Hardy and all the cutting.

Carr averages 1.7 blocks per game. I know his DBPM is bad right now, and I'm not sure why because I've never noticed his defense as being bad when I've watched.

I think Brandon Miller might be a good comp for a recent drafted player.

Hmmmm... I can see both of those. Seems maybe more athletic but not as big as Trey. Interesting.

Look if you strike out on top 4 and have like Flemings/Carr and maybe a couple other interesting guys there its a nice consolation prize.
 
I think Keaton Wagler could be a real possibility outside the top 5. One of the best do it all type offensive players in the draft outside of the top tier talents.

Has played back to back 40 minute games (well 39 in one, but basically 40). For a non-top 100 freshman that's pretty crazy, especially on a team that has a lot of talent. Maybe the closest player to Kon this draft?

Carr has no neck, but his wingspan is very long. I think he plays as big as Trey....and Trey is an underrated athlete. Tre is a dunk contest guy and among non-bigs he's second to only Amen in dunks this year. No perfect comparisons of course, but I think he will be more like Trey in the sense that he will be very low 20's usage guy, but if you ask to do more of the self created shot making he might look more like Shaedon Sharpe.

I haven't watched enough of him to get a good grasp of his defense.

We need to change the discussion to who prefer out of cenac and yesoufou

i thought cenac was better than what he's showing, but honestly, if you want to stand out, houston is often not a great place to showcase oneself. they generally have a lot of veterans, they play at a slower pace, huge emphasis on defense, balanced scoring - just not a lot of opportunities for an elite frosh to stand out. now flemings would be the counter argument, but i think if one were to look back and top frosh prospects at houston, they hard a hard time really standing out.

also, flemings is insane. 15 ppg on 61/52 splits, 69% TS. if you didn't know better you'd think he was a 5th year senior.
