Markkanen is a much better shooter than Olynyk, a better player overall too.

Yeah, but does he have Kelly O's toughness? He is the better prospect for sure, but it's too early to say he is better than Olynyk. Olynyk brings some nasty to the table.
 
Jonathan Jeanne is my guy right now. Like any prospect, you can poke holes in him, but he has too much going for him at such a young age, that i wouldn't pass on him at 24. Eerily similar to Rudy at the same stage. Active on both ends of the floor, runs the floor exceptionally well, blocks shots, very good rebounder who compensates for the thin frame with toughness and a good motor. He's more skilled with the ball than Rudy, can actually shoot it a bit - though needs to improve there, not as tough or explosive at the rim as Rudy was and is even thinner.

my biggest concern is that i'm convinced he will rise up draft boards as the draft gets closer he won't be available at 24.

He has the same agent as Gobert and they've met multiple times. Pretty neat. I love him as a prospect too. There were some mumblings about him struggling in 5-on-5 at the combine but I watched and was very impressed.

I feel a bit awkward saying it, but Jonathan Jeanne has the potential to be one of the top 5 - 8 players in this draft. Obviously, he needs to get stronger and build his base, but his quickness, instincts and reactions are actually very good. He doesn't move like a 7'2" guy. He's surprisingly mobile and plays with a high energy level.
