So I finally think its time to give my crack at this. Feel free to discuss and argue (sorry in advance for how long it is):
1. Joel Embiid
It seems like this is slowly becoming more of a consensus, Embiid has improved vastly this season alone. He has a huge frame (Probably around 7’2), moves much smoother than your average big man (Think Serge Ibaka), and seems like he has all the tools to become a well rounded big man. His size alone makes him a menacing shot blocker, he rebounds well, and his offensive game has shown many flashes of dominance throughout the season.
Biggest Concern: I have two of them. First of all, it seems like its been awhile since a true center with a ton of upside actually panned out. Part of this is overrated, but part of it is we seem enamored with size and potential when the actual player is far from a finished product. Embiid has gotten good in a very short span of time, and he could absolutely continue to. But leading into my 2nd concern, I’m not 100% sure he will ever be a "really good offensive player". I know he will rebound and block shots, I know he will run the floor and catch alley oops. But I don’t know if he will be an elite offensive post player quite yet, and if you are getting a guy who’s 15-10-3 blocks, you are getting a fine player, maybe just not quite what you were hoping for in Embiid.
2. Jabari Parker
Seems the easiest to project. He has a ton of skill, and is one of the most natural scorers we have seen in college basketball in some time. He isn’t an elite athlete but is on the same page as a Carmelo Anthony or Paul Pierce, so I don’t see any concern there. I also think that it will be easier for him to improve all the little things like passing, rebounding, defense than it is for another player who isn’t a very good scorer to improve at scoring. The ability to put the ball in the hoop is still the single most important aspect at basketball, and he’s already very good at that.
Biggest Concern: Again, it seems hard to be off on what he is projected to do, but I suppose the concern is he is a good scorer in the NBA, but never really becomes good enough at anything else to cross over into that elite/all-star class. He has to work to improve at a lot of things, but as long as he becomes a servicable defender, and a good team player, I see no reason he won’t at least be close to what we are projecting.
3. Andrew Wiggins
This is mostly an upside pick, and is probably skewed by the fact I watched him play his best collegiate game less than 24 hours ago. I actually see Wiggins as sort of a poor man’s Scottie Pippen more than I see Paul George. His athletic ability will make him a good player, a great "fill in the blanks" guy, but his overall scoring skillset is what holds me back from saying he higher on this list. He is going to defend well in a team concept, he will be able to score in transition and make big plays, but hopefully he works like hell on his offensive game. It just isn’t complete. Yes he has big games from time to time, but he is a big time DRIFTER.
Concerns: DRIFTER! I don’t like watching Kansas and not seeing him dribble the ball for 10+ minutes of game time! The kid has to understand how good he can be, and take the initiative. Yes his FG % is good and he doesn’t seem like a ball hog, but DRIFTING IS NOT GOOD FOR AN NBA PROSPECT! A lot of scouts that I have read have said this is a major concern with Wiggins. His shooting needs work, but he is a good enough shooter right now to stretch a defense. The thing that bugs me about Wiggins is that all I heard about with him was "first step"…well…no one mentioned he is a really really poor dribbler. He looks uncomfortable off the dribble and dribbles way too high. The physical tools are there. He has to put it together. I think he’s a true "Go to the right team guy", he needs to go to a good situation.
4. Marcus Smart
It’s hard to argue with what he does at the collegiate level. He scores, he handles the ball, he passes, he rebounds, and he isn’t a bad defender. He seems like a true "combo guard" who could player either spot. Probably will be best suited not playing a ball dominant other guard, and like many have noted I think Orlando is a great fit. His ability to create offense and his ability to pass have really impressed me this year. He’s resililent too. That KU game where they were down big time he never wavered and had "the look" about him.
Biggest Concern: I’m just not sure he’s that good. I think he will be an effective NBA player without question, but there is a lot of talent in that PG pool right now, and is he ever going to be as good as John Wall? Kyrie Irving? Damian Lillard? And those are just the young guys. He might ultimately be a 2nd tier guy, because I just don’t think his ceiling is that high. He already kinda does everything well, and he’s still not a 10/10 prospect.
5. Julius Randle
Randle has been a thuroughly productive player in what I think is the most underrated-ly tough situation in college b ball: To look amazing every night on that Kentucky team. He’s definitely a good player, and has had monster games. But with that many "NBA wannabes" on the same team, I just think it is hard to just impose his will every night and look like a sure fire start. He definitely has some weaknesses, and his height concerns me. But he is a big time low post guy, and a super athletic player who’s athletic ability I actually think is no underrated.
Biggest Concern: Defensively he is a mess, but I think a lot of that can be fixed in the NBA. Little things, like the fact he only has 5 steals all season worry me. The lack of hustle and intangibles he possesses seem to hurt his overall prospect score in my eyes.
6. Dante Exum
Like most, I’ve only seen highlights and an all star game. This seems like the natural spot for him right now. Scouts seem to definitely like him more than anyone below him on this list, and until we see him at the combine and such going up against these guys, its hard to get a better idea on him. He could definitely end up going higher than this though.
Biggest Concern: Not much from what I have seen. He seems like an athletic combo guard with an array of skills. Can shoot, and is great attacking the rim. But again, the biggest concern is just the unknown.
7. Aaron Gordon
I haven’t really been that impressed with Gordon. He definitely is an athletic marvel, he rebounds well and scores around the rim. He seems like he has a decent ball handling skills if he is a 4, but if he is a 3, then I think they are below average. I just don’t love him on the perimeter in today’s NBA, so I hope he ends up playing PF. He does play on a better team, and a more veteran team than most of guys mentioned above, so it is possible its harder to judge his game on what we have seen.
Biggest Concern: He gets drafted by the wrong team. He needs to go to a good spot for him. Preferably playing the 4, low expectations, veteran prescense, etc. I am scared Sac is going to end up with him, and he becomes the next player to fall into the Sac-town vortex and never come out. He needs to become a better halfcourt player, and scorer, but he has the makings of being a long term starter-not all star in my view.
8. Noah Vonleh
Hey, its the prospect no one liked in the pre-season! No one was really sold on this guy, but slowly he’s started to produce at a higher level. I do believe that likening him to Chris Bosh, before he became a guy who only shoots from 20+ feet away from the basket is accurate. But he needs to become a better all around offensive player. His defense is good, and I think he can definitely defend bigs in the NBA. I also like his rebounding.
Biggest Concern: His offensive game doesn’t improve the way we hope it does, and he just becomes a mostly one way rotation player.
9. Dario Saric
I honestly don’t know a ton about Saric, but I know he is supposed to have a point-forward type skillset. Good ball handling skills + great size. I think unique players (Think Giannis) are usually worth the risk in this range, he will probably end up going lower than this but I like the idea of what he will be able to do.
Biggest Concern: Not a very good shooter. If he is going to be a perimeter player, you have to at least shoot it at an ok rate. Look at what has happened to Rubio. He has a lot of great traits, but is on pace to be the worst shooter of ALL TIME.
10. Gary Harris
I’m glad Gary Harris came back. He looked good last year, but looked like his game still needed some work, and he’s basically in the same draft range he was last year, but in a much better draft. I think he will be a good two way guard in the NBA. There’s really not much you can do to pick holes in his game. I also like that he is SG, as that teams to be a dying position in the NBA. He can shoot, he can attack, and he can defend. Hard to dislike that. He also could go to a West team in this range that is not too far away from being good, and could really impact them immediately.
Biggest Concern: Just don’t think his ceiling is that high. He has a ton of skill now, but isn’t a huge scorer or athletic freak. Will be a good pro, not a great one.
11. Rodney Hood
Hood is one of the best and most complete players in college basketball. He basically has done everything for Duke. He’s a very good shooter, he’s athletic, he has a good one on one game, and he’s a decent defensive player. If I had to pick one player in this range to turn out to be one of the 5 best players in this draft, it would be him. He has all the physical tools to do it, he just has to keep improving. And obviously, he’s a smart kid, as leaving Miss St. for Duke was a great decision. You see the improvement in him playing more of a team game, and just the overall improvement in his game.
Biggest Concern: Another guy who ends up being "good at everything, not great at anything". I do hope he plays the 2 in the NBA. Its a shallow position, and I think he at the very least will be a starter long term.
12. Willy Cauly-Stein
I don’t love WCS because he just seems like a very raw player. The length and size are there, he moves well for a good man, but is he really going to guard centers in the NBA? He is a very athletic player for his size but offensively, he’s incredibly raw, and I don’t see where exactly he’s going to improve. From freshman-sophomore year he hasn’t really improved much. Again, I give him a slight pass because he is on a team with a lot of players getting usage, but what exactly is he going to be in the NBA?
Biggest concern: His offense never gets there, and he’s just a back up big man/energy guy.
13. James Young
A wild card in this draft class. He is a good athlete, and can pretty much score from anywhere on the floor. I think his potential is pretty high, and he’s also played on a team where its hard to be the go-to-guy on a nightly basis. I think he will be a very good offensive player at the next level, at the very least a 6th man-scorer.
Biggest concern: His offense never is quite good enough to carry him to a good NBA career. I think he’s another guy who needs to be on a team where he finds his niche, because there’s alot of teams where he would just be repetitive of other players they have. I like his upside though, could be a steal.
14. Doug McDermott
A very complete offensive player, McDermott can sit back and shoot 3s and then take you into the paint and punish you down low. He is a phenomenal college player, and he a ton of tools that I do think will translate to the NBA.
Biggest concern: He just isn’t athletic enough to be effective in the NBA, and his defense will be so bad coaches won’t want to play him. I’m not saying this is how I feel about him, its just a scenario that concerns me. I like Doug, and think he will be rotation player in the NBA.

I would probably move Gary Harris and James Young up a spot or 2, but overall this is a good analysis. I agree with you about Embiid, if he does not become a dominant offensive center, will he still be worthy of a #1 pick? That IMO is the biggest question for Embiid. You are pretty spot on about Parker, although I do not see the Pippen/Wiggins comparison, but I do however see the Paul George (from a couple of seasons ago) comparison.

Have you been watching Gary Harris in Big Ten play? He’s been shooting over ten free throws a game, while getting to the rim with ease and lighting up the scoreboard from literally everywhere. He looks better than Bradley Beal did in college who i think is a pretty good comparison. Not sure where everyone is getting this ‘low ceiling’ idea. He could easily end up averaging in the mid to high teens as a rookie (depending on which team he ends up on).

There is no question in my mind that I would take Vonleh over Gordon at this point. I’m sure Gordon will be a great defender but I need more than just that from a top 7 pick in this draft. People have compared Gordon to Shawn Marion but I really doubt he will ever develop to that level. Vonleh is bigger, stronger, clear NBA position, better shooter, and rebounder.

I’m gonng have to pull the Bill Self card in Wiggins favor. Bill self seems to let the PGs and bigs QB the offense. Alot of standing around for the wings. Wiggins and Selden stand there alot and wait on kickouts. Can’t blame the kids for doing what theyre coached to do.
This offense was perfect for Brandon Rush, but Wiggins has more ability than Rush and needs a chance to initiate. Wiggins will get that chance in the league, he will be given a chance to be a focal point.

I see a better shooting Larry Hughes (in his best years) with Wiggins. Which is no slight at all. Whether he develops into a scoring title threat depends on how well he develops his handle and how willing he is to draw contact on his drives.

I’m not a huge WCS fan, but I think 12-15 is a good spot for him in this draft. He’s gonna be a good rim protector in the league and he can get out and run, but I think he has very little offensive potential. I can’t help but think of a guy like Andres Biedrins, BEFORE he got hurt, when I try to think of a pro to compare him to.
I think he’ll probably be an 8-10 ppg scorer in the NBA and continue his horrid free throw shooting, but he’ll be a good offensive rebounder, be able to guard the rim and I think he has the potential to be a starter. I kind of see Biedrins’ best seasons as Willie’s, but a guy who puts up 11 ppg and 10 rpg and effects the defensive end is still a nice player to have on your team. I’d just be weary of drafting him in the top 10.

Since the Bucks are the worst team and will certainly consider Embiid if they get the top pick, I can’t help but think of Andrew Bogut as a good example of the "biggest concern" about Embiid. Now, I think Embiid has much more potential than Bogut when comparing the two as prospects, but Bogut was still pretty highly regarded.

  I think what you’re suggesting is that Bogut was a dissapointment… I wouldn’t say that at all. He was a very good, all around big man who could score in the low post, pass well, and defend the rim before injuries took away most of his athleticism.

    Bogut at his best was a borderline all star before the injuries really piled up, which is pretty good, but not what would be expected of a number one pick, especially considering Deron Williams and Chris Paul were available.

1. Embiid- For somebody so new to the game to be so skilled at 7 foot is scary. If he reaches his potential he could be a dominant NBA center for a decade plus.
2. Wiggins- Him and Parker are pretty close and it really depends on preference and playstyle for me. Wiggins is going to effect the game more on defense and in the open court. He also has a higher ceiling and although it could take a little more time he is worth the risk to me.
3. Parker- He has a stellar all around offensive game and looks like he could score 17 a night right now in the league. He leaves some to be desired on defense but he will be a capable defender with his size and underrated athleticism.
4. Exum- I think his potential could be the third highest in this draft. He is more of an unknown in the US but scouts love this guys skillset and size as a combo guard.
5. Randle- Julius is a double-double machine that is head and shoulders above all other PFs in this draft. He has some issues dealing with double teams and turning over the ball but he is a beast inside.
6.Smart- I can see why he some people have him at 4 because he has certainly improved his overall game from last year and he could have gone #1 last year. I think he is really close with Exum and Randle at this point but after last nights display from the guy who is supposedly the best leader in this draft class he drops to 6th.
7. James Young- I have been high on Young for a while and he is finally starting to come through like I thought he could. His shooting percentages are still pretty low but he is starting to stroke it better lately and you can see his mechanics are there. He has big time defensive potential with his 7 foot wingspan and could be a dangerous player with some strength and seasoning.
8. Gary Harris- Harris has been playing great lately and shooting 63% over his last 3 games. He has made that jump you want after your freshmen year when you come back. He is stronger and more polished than the other SG’s in this range like young and LaVine but I am not sure he has the same ceiling.
9. Zach LaVine- The shooting guard position is looking up in the NBA in my mind with the young guys coming in lately. I don’t see LaVine as a true PG but he can still handle the ball. He is a mega athlete and playing very efficently. If he stays at UCLA he could be top 3 next year if he makes "the jump".
10. Noah Vonleh- I was not a believer going into the season myself but he has slowly changed my mind. He is a legit 6-10 so he gets the edge over Aaron Gordon in my mind at this point. He is raw offensively but you can see the package is there. Some team will be happy to have a young PF with this much upside possibly outside the top 10.
11. Aaron Gordon- I love the tenacity and activity that Gordon plays with. His energy is a big part of why Arizona is bringing it every night and the clear #1 team in the country. If he was 6-10 he would be right up with the top 3…but he is 6-8. He has a great work ethic but I don’t see the skills to play SF either. He is clearly a PF at the next level even though he is undersized.
12. Rodney Hood- Rodney has much of what you want from a SF. He can shoot and is a great athlete. I could see him going top 10 and I like his game…but I like some others more.
13.Jerami Grant- Jim Boeheim knows how valuable Grant can be…he has played him the entire game 2 of his last 4. He is a work in progress but a lot like Gordon he is a very active athlete. I see some Mo Harkless in his game.
14. TJ Warren- Warren has been scoring quite a bit this year. He is a guy that can play either the SG or SF and reminds me of Caron Butler. He is shooting over 50% from the field but only 21% from 3. He will need to expand his range to be a great NBA scorer but he has potential.

When draft time rolls around, I see Dante Exum becoming a top 3 selection in the draft (depending on what teams are picking). I think scouts and teams will become enamored with Exum’s skill set and size for the position which will result in him being a high draft pick. Who will that leave out of the top 3? I think that will be Andrew Wiggins. I really do hope when he gets to the NBA that he puts it all together because the league is so much better when its full of stars. I just don’t like his overall demeanor and his disapperance during games. I completely forget that he is on the floor when they’re playing.
The high riser of this draft I believe will be Noah Vonleh. Please stop with the Chris Bosh comparisons. Just because he physically looks like a young Chris Bosh doesn’t mean he will be the same player. Its the same way with Aaron Gordon being compared to Blake Griffin.
