Here is my attempt at a big board entering the conference play. Didnt spend a ton of time on it, and probably already disagree with stuff on it, but I think it represents what I believe loosely.
I’d use a 2nd round pick as a draft and stash on him. Hope he gets out of his funk and back to what made. People excited about him in the first place. Huge mistake for him to pull out of the draft last year.Why anyone still likes Rodions Kurucs is beyond me. Is he still doing meh on Barcelona's B-Team?
Huge mistake? He wasnt getting drafted in the first round last year.I’d use a 2nd round pick as a draft and stash on him. Hope he gets out of his funk and back to what made. People excited about him in the first place. Huge mistake for him to pull out of the draft last year.
I wish we knew more about Jarrod Vanderbilt. When I read his profile write ups he seems like a talent that could be a steal. What is worrisome is that he can't shoot but his shot doesn't look broken. If Ben Simmons can be successful at the 4 why couldn't Vanderbilt?

I like it. Trae Young at 2 is bold. One of those things I'd think about doing but don't have enough balls. Donnie Tillman at 28. That's pretty cool, is he having a good season? I remember reading Coach K was super excited about getting him. Seemed more important than Akot who was an all american.
People Get way to caught up with age. TIime after time again 4 Year players come in and ready to contribute RIGHT away.He could be similar to Sefalosha, but with a more reliable jumper. He's pretty old though for a lottery prospect. That's the only drawback. He'll be 22 at the start of his rookie season.
Nick King, Redshirt Senior at Middle Tennessee will have taken a rather unusual path to the NBA, but he's gonna make it in some form, which is very cool.

He's a former 5-star relic from the HS class of 2013.. (Jabari/Wiggins).. who assuredly many wrote off long ago.. I lost track of him..
Started at Memphis his first two years averaged 4 and 7 points, sat out a year to xfer to Alabama last year scored 3.3ppg, this year at Middle Tennessee he's averaging 23.3 points on fantastic shooting %'s. He's a sniper. 6'7" long arms..
He's about Exum's age too, could definitely be a year older given his path.
The kid I always hyped at Ohio State, who came in with D'Angelo Russell, Keita Bates-Diop, is pretty much exactly what I was hyping him to be for all these years. He is actually playing so well he could workhimself into the end of the 1st rd. He's really a legit player to keep an eye on moving forward, prototype NBA SF build and he can really shoot it and defend, he's smart.
2 of the best seniors in the nation, and y'all know I'm biased against old players..
