    There are a lot of project big men in this draft, but which do you think has the most upside and will turn out as the best big man from this draft? All things considered – injury, attitude, work ethic, etc

    He has a chance to excel in all phases of the game. Defense, rebounding, scoring, passing, etc. I’d give him a slight nod over Alex Len. Noel has the size and athleticism but I don’t think he has the frame to put on the weight he’ll need to be a center. I think he’ll end up playing to 4. Zeller is a 4 as well. Dieng and Olynyk are too one dimensional and Gobert is way too raw.

    Learning the game quickly, is going to get bigger and stronger than his current 255lb 7’0″ frame is now. Currently a number of the bigs in this draft are stretch 4’s Zeller, Olynyk and even Noel because of his small frame. Len will also be in the mix but I also give Adams the edge

    but I look at it like, if given the opportunity – with all them available, who would I take first? Personally I would go Zeller, Len, Adams. After that I am just not as comfortable with the other guys. I think Bebe could be really good one day, but I just don’t know enough about him to be able to compare him with the group I listed above.

    He’s so skilled already and still very young. I just don’t see any way he doesn’t continue to polish his low block game when he gets to a team and is on a full-time strength program plus has developmental coaches

    Nerlens Noel. Not as much of a project as some of the other players, so he will be more effective early in his career. He has shown flashes of elite defensive potential and has plenty of room to grow on offense.

    I’m sorry but I can’t co-sign any white boys playing center this day of age. Espically these skinny guys. They are just going to be on posters and espn highlights for getting dunked on.

      This statement has no weight its the NBA if you challenge enough shots you’re going to get dunked on. Serge Ibaka, Javale McGee, & Josh Smith probably get dunked on more than anybody yet they are up there in the group of 5 best shot blockers

    Len is a huge project and I don’t know why anyone would have him rated above Adams to be honest if you are going to take a project C. Very high chance to be another Darko type if you ask me. Couldn’t even make 1st,2nd or 3rd team all ACC in 2 years of college. Damn.

    Best project bigs are Adams and Noguiera. Withey is a rock solid bet to be at least Pachulia with a ceiling of Asik.
