Here's what I would add:
JHS - The knock on him is that he is incredibly inefficient because he is so mid range heavy. He is one of the worst players in the draft (if not the worst) at getting to and finishing around the basket. Also a very low stocks (steals and blocks) player. These things reflect the low athleticism that you picked up on.An optimist would look at his work in the mid range game and fall in love with how polished this part of his game is. A pessimist would say that's the only good part about his game and it's the least important as it is the least efficient shot in the game.
Ah... I see... yeah... he looked athletically deficient and it seems to project into some important areas - finishing at the rim and defensive metrics... I still like the skill though... not sure he will be my favorite at 16 but if he falls to 28... I think I'd be good with it.
Hawkins - Probably the best movement shooter in the draft. A little small/skinny but good athlete. I think opinions on his defense are somewhat mixed, but vary from the range of bad to average. Plays hard both ways but not enough size/strength. Some believe he could be that tier 1 shooter at the next level.
Yeah, he seems like a really good off-ball offensive player with some defensive upside. If we think his defense will pan out, he is the type of piece every team needs.
Keyonte - FG% is horrible, but TS% is higher than someone like JHS because he shoots so many three's and gets to the line. Was a top 8ish prospect all year and fell after a rough finish to the season (he got injured). Has the chucker label and that's earned, but has some complimentary skills as well (passing flashes + physical player on both ends).
I watched him in the NCAA tournament and I didn't love what I saw, but maybe he was injured at the time. The highlights show a bit of a different picture. I want to see a few full games of when he was healthy. Might be good pick at 16...
NSJ - Came into the year as a top 6ish prospect. Was injured most of the year, when he did play kinda stunk it up. People are in love with his floater, but it barely went in. I kinda think he's Lou Williams if Lou couldn't get to the FT line.
My least favorite player so far.
Murray - Boring, even I don't care lol
Yep... meh...
Dariq - Was the #1 guy in this class, has foot injuries. Ironically came into college with an explosive athlete label, but this season was clearly not healthy and was terrible around the basket but a very good shooter. Kinda flipped the script. Had another foot procedure this off-season raising more concerns.
I think I like him best from pretty much ... ANYONE past the top 10 or so... If our medical staff gives it the green light, I think he might be a good shot to take at high upside player who usually won't be there.
GG - Was the #1 guy but reclassified (like Bagley did). Polarizing prospect. Great highlights, but that's because highlights are highlights. Some ugly film otherwise that lead to those ugly numbers. Eye of the beholder prospect. He was awful, but he is the youngest guy in the draft.
Indeed... it's not even just the %s... his rebounds are really low too... blocks and steals are not great either... his stat profile is horrible. But there are intriguing flashes.
JHS is a guy I'm coming around on. I think my last big board he was right outside the top 30, but he's probably closer to 20 for me now. He's just kind of boring tbh, but I think some of that might have been Indiana and how Trayce Jackson Davis focused their offense was. JHS probably has the most "mature" PNR skill in the draft with his pace and how he frees up room with snake dribbles and getting to his mid-range spots. Would be interesting to see his decision making skills in a more spaced court.
Yeah... he might indeed shine even more in an NBA game and NBA-spaced floor. But some of his athletic deficiencies might get exposed more too with more space for him to cover.
Whitehead is tough to scout because he was never healthy last year. He broke his foot late August and missed most of Dukes training camp so he really struggled to start the season. Then he finally seemed to be shaking off the rust a little and got injured again. He came back again but never looked right. Then of course a few weeks ago we heard that his foot never healed properly so he needed another surgery. If healthy he was my top choice at 16 but the depth is so good in that range that I don't think I would take the risk now. My dream is him slipping to 28 with the injury concerns but there are a bunch of teams in that 20-27 that have multiple picks who I think will gladly take a flyer on him.
He's one of my favorites so far on highlights. No idea how serious his injuries are, but purely talent-wise he seems like he doesn't belong in that area of the draft. He looks more like top 10 pick than 20ish... I hope our medical staff clears him and Danny takes a chance on him.
I think this guy is undervalued. Seems to have endless energy and I think he could be deadly off of screens both as a shooter or curling for layups. His on ball defense is very good... he plays hard there but he is slight and on the smaller side so he may just be adequate instead of good on defense.
Yeah, noticed he moves a lot off-ball... could be a really nice piece IF his defense pans out.
Highly ranked prospect... knee injury to start the season and it may have bothered him during the season. He's not my cup of tea. One of the evaluators made me laugh when they talked about his defense... the long and short of it was he tries but looks like he's never been coached at all as his technique and awareness are so bad.
I think Nick Smith has been my least favorite prospect from ALL of them so far. I don't think I want him, even based on just highlights. He has to be insane on defense for me to want him.
OLD AF... but likely a good pick in the 20s as I have no doubt he will be an nba rotation wing... even if its a low upside wing that's something to bank on for cheap.
I don't think I want him at 9 or 16 and he probably won't be there at 28 so... I can do without him, I think...
Dude was way more athletic in HS. had and injury coming into the season and struggled to get started. Had surgery on the same injured foot recently... so likely bothered him all year. High upside guy in the teens/20s that also has a decent floor if healthy since he can shoot the piss out of the ball.
Crazy polarizing player... this is the right spot for him though.
I will definitely watch a game or two of him before the draft.
