Your draft big board

Regardless of their measurements it's pretty clear Black plays much bigger than Cason does.

I think the fully stretched numbers of reach/wingspan don't say everything. We poopoo head height as not being as important as the length, but there is probably value in having parts of your body in a taller starting position and not having to be in a fully stretched state to express your size
if AB shaves his head before the draft he is a TREX Jordan Walsh with some slightly better passing skills . Black is so overrated smh

Appending merely the surnames and patronymics instead of including the entire given name invalidates the entire list! Good day sir!

Dear Sir, surreptitious sources portend that your proper name is Logan Graduloso Hinojosa the 98th. I shall refrain from using such a greeting without your expressed permission. I shall endeavor to follow your suggestions regarding any further postulated “big boards” that I publish. Thank you for drawing my attention to this issue!

Thoughts on my big board process.

My 1-8 is pretty rock solid. The order might be different day to day, but I feel pretty strongly about the top 8 being a clear level above the next grouping. I could probably make a divide in that 2-8 grouping to further categorize players, but they all feel pretty close. If I had a big board based on safety of outcome, Miller/Scoot would be in their own tier above all non-Victor players, but that's not really how I view this board.

Tier B is just the 4 PGs who I all really like and think they are all pretty close.

Tier C. Generally all interchangeable day to day how I'm feeling. Threw in NSJ at the end. Even though I don't like him, he had major injury issues and he is well regarded, so I think he deserves to make it at the very end of the tier list. I did like the way he looked on the court (like general confidence level just popped to me) when he played.

Tier D is just my back end of the first who I think are a slight step above the guys not listed at all. If I did a further list, there are probably 10 more prospects I'm really intrigued by then it drops off.
 
1. Vic
2. Scoot
3. B Miller
4. Whitmore
5. Ausar?
6. Amen?
7. Hendricks
8. Wallace
9. Grady
10. Walker
11. Bufkin
12. Black
13. Keyonte
14. GG
15. L Miller
16. Hawkins
17. Bilal
18. Whitehead
19. Sidy
20. Podz

Honorable mentions:
-Rupert (potential draft and stash gets extra value)
-Strawther (his floater is nuts and not talked about enough as a useful dimension to his game)
-Colby Jones (very solid but unspectacular [some Desmond Bane vibe here])
-Jett (shooting is intriguing as is him having any on-ball chops [but everything else is fairly wack])
-Jacquez (the most interesting man in the draft)

I find it kind of crazy how both twins are so close to one another.


Like i think lopez bros were twins but they were/ are so different as players.

I think jason and jaron collins were twins too and seemed to be far apart basketball wise.

Were marcus morris and his bro twins?

Amen and ausar seem to be within a couple picks of one another (often one right after the other) in everyones mocks and big boards. Seems strange to me
 
100%. I considered putting him in my top-5 actually. Great size, great defender, will be a great connector at the next level, high IQ, etc. I think he will end up being serviceable from 3 as well.

Im just shocked you have him ahead of Whitmore

Most twins differentiate themselves eventually. Morris twins are probably the closest. I think when their careers started Markieff was more successful but as he fell off a bit Marcus got better (or at least that's how I remember it without doing research)
