Yeah BI is probably a bad comp from my side as what Ive seen from Ace in his bad moments is that he looks more lost than unserious. So it may be more of a BBIQ question.
If not Flagg or Harper…

If we end up with the third-worst record, we’re almost certain to get one of those six players you mentioned because then our odds of falling below the sixth pick are only 7%. But if we end up with the fourth-worst record, the odds of falling below the sixth pick are 19%. In other words, we can't mess around with our remaining games.

Just the eye test he looks like he is definitely taller than 6'2" with shoes. I would not be surprised if he measure 6'4.5" with shoes.
Just for context on how good the top 6 are in this draft:
- Tre Johnson, who I currently have at 6 on my board, is averaging 20.9 pts/game. The last freshman to average more than 20 ppg in a major conference was Cade Cunningham in 20/21. Brandon Miller, for example averaged 18.8 ppg on 43/38/86 shooting splits. Tre is averaging 20.9 ppg on 45/39/89.

after flagg and harper, i'm still betting bailey. it has been rough for him the last few weeks so i don't blame anybody for pushing him down. but i trust his defense, motor and rebounding and the shooting/scoring is built for the nba and it will come around. i think nba spacing and ball movement will do wonders for him.
tre johnson is making a real push. i probably go flagg, harper, bailey, johnson kj, vj in that order at this point.

This is how VJ Edgecombe who is currently 5th on my board compares to other top defensive guard prospects in the past few drafts:
Edgecombe: 15ppg, 5rpg, 3apg 44/36/80 splits, 2.7 stocks
Castle (3rd pick 2024): 11ppg, 5rpg, 3apg 47/27/76 splits, 1.3 stocks
Black (6th pick 2023): 13ppg, 5rpg, 4apg 45/30/71 splits, 2.7 stocks
Daniel's (8th pick 2022) 12ppg, 5rpg, 4apg 45/30/53 splits, 2.7 stocks
Suggs (5th pick 2021) 14ppg, 5rpg, 4apg 50/34/75 splits, 2.2 stocks.

It’s just Flagg for me.
If we don’t get him then the rest of the top players are at the same level of disappointment to me. But would obviously be hoping they become great.

It took Jayson Tatum until his 3rd year before he began really passing the ball.
In my opinion the top 6 in this draft are as good as any other recent draft AND as I said in the draft thread, there is still a chance it becomes a top 7 if Traore can play as well as he has for the past 10 games.

How many players from this draft would’ve gone number one in last year‘s draft?

I am assuming flag, Harper, Ace, VJ, Johnson at least.
