He's gotta have the highest ceiling AND the lowest floor of anyone in the top ten.
I don't see the low floor. Bigs with that kind of offensive ability are going to be at least marginally valuable. I'd be waaaaaaay more concerned about guys like Winslow and Johnson.
Porzingis looks enormous.

Agree... Is the floor bargnani but with a brain and motivation. Only thing that would make him a bust is an injury and that can happen to anyone.

Nah, Towns has the highest ceiling in the draft.
...
Here's one of the less successful sequences for Porzingis' shot:

Booker seems to be the wild card in this draft for us. He is picked by CHA and we are in business.

Possible sleeper 2nd round picks Jonathan Holmes, Oliver Hanlan and Mam Jaiteh are working out for the Jazz today.
-Jonathan Holmes hit a number of buzzer beaters for Texas, hes certifiably clutch and has at-least some killer instinct. His 3pt% fell off as the year progressed but he was shooting near 50% from 3 for a decent stretch to start. He fits most of the positive stereotypes that people make about College Seniors, definitely a 'gamer' who's hardworking. He's dropping weight and trying to add ball skills, went from off the draft radars to the top of the 2nd round late in the process. Best Case: Drew Gooden, I do see some slight parallels with Khris Middleton but obviously they play different positions.
-6'4" Oliver Hanlan is pretty good in the area's that the Jazz PG's were rather unsuccessful this past season, (getting to the rim and drawing fouls). I like this kid more than Delon Wright, so i'm a bit biased. Hanlan's built to score/push the pace and he's serviceable in other aspects of playing point and off guard. he was asked to do everything for BC, you can't underscore how little help this dude had. His game is reminiscent of Jordan Clarkson.
-Mam Jaiteh is a player that I've been posting about since the 2013 draftee's thread. He's NBA ready - especially on the boards. not the greatest athlete, he's a bit rigid, he's quick to the ball though and is strong enough to bang down low with Centers. I'd say he projects into something like a Reggie Evans with more offense.

I think that just confirms that spence checketts is high. Full stop.
