Ranking the top PF’s in the Draft

I think the key debate is that 2 vs. 3 spot with Henry Ellenson and Marquese Chriss.

Ellenson offers more elite size (could play center) and probably better production his first few seasons. However average to below average athleticism limits his ceiling and potential as a player. Perhaps he is to slow to make a difference in today’s NBA

Chriss has more potential, especially as a dangerous stretch 4 who can shoot and block shots. His athleticism is ridiculous and he is mostly a raw prospect.

This is how I would rank the top 5

1) Dragon Bender (although perhaps he is a center prospect as well)

2) Henry Ellenson (I don’t think Chriss will reach his potential)

3) Marquese Chriss

4) Domantas Sabonis (could be a center prospect as well but I like his post game, plus he’s improving his range)

5) Skal Labeseire (Channing Frye potential)

 If we’re looking at PF’s, IMO  the obvious #1 PF is Simmons then I like 

Bender

Ellenson

Chriss

and then things change , Davis, Sabonis and Skal all good but have different strengths and a player I might put ahead of all 3 is Maker, I like what he brings, it will be interesting to see how high he goes. I wouldn’t mind it if my Jazz took him.

 Bad draft to do a PF rankings. Its all interchangable. I’ve been thinking of doing a bigman rankings.
