last personal big board with comparison before the draft:

 Somebody down voted you?  WHAT????

Good job man!

I like the Kevin Knox pick at 10.  That’s where I think you get your Top Tier of the Draft and then the Second Tier…

I have a few more upside guys near the top…  

Looks great, very well thought out — better than a Ringer or ESPN big board/mock.

For Bamba, when I watched his high school stuff last summer and even his one on one drill stuff with Ayton I compared Bamba to David Robinson and then Ayton to Pat Ewing or Robert Parish.  If you look closely, from the right angle, you can ALSO see shades of Bill Russell from Bamba and some Wilt type stuff from Ayton.  Although, any old school comps for Bamba would probably be closer to Nate Thurmond, Artis Gilmore, and Dikembe Mutombo for Bamba and Walt Bellamy/Darryl Dawkins/a bigger Bob McAdoo for Ayton although I like the Bob McAdoo comp better for Bagley — although I think D Ayton is more of a power forward (like he insists he is) in the mold of a Karl Malone.

Rob Williams III and Mitchell Robinson in that 25/26 range — 2 boom/bust guys, I have each guy at least 10 spots higher… but I would roll the dice…  DOWNSIDE: BOTH guys could be "proverbial players who could have played in the Warriors-Cavs NBA Finals".  Both would be Video Game Versions of Javale McGee/Jordan Bell/Tristan Thompson/Kevon Looney — MINIMUM.  Two New Agey Bigs.  

Moe Wagner: I like him too.  I am gonna put him a bit higher on my Big Board.  Solid comps though!  If he was more of a rebounder then you could obviously make a Bill Laimbeer comparison.  Without the elite rebounding though, that’s a different comp.  I actually like an ABA comp for him.

Malik Newman at 52: Vernon Maxwell/Leandro Barbosa: interesting.  Yeah, he looks like a boom/bust guy — probably from game to game.  Solid 3rd guard instant offense 6th man.  Combined nickname of Mad Malik "The Blur" Newman.

Luka is a tough one! Solid comps. I saw Penny Hardaway play in a University of Memphis alumni game 3 years ago.  He had obviously lost a few steps.  Hopefully Luka is more athletic/explosive than that.  I think I have a comp for Luka, but it is one from the Way, Way, Way Back Machine.  If I post my big board in time to the Grizzlies message board I will post it here after that (probably just a first round big board, along with the Next Best 15).  Outside 30 or 45 you are looking at guys on 2 way G League contracts and Euro Stash guys.  I think I am either gonna put Luka at 2 or 3, or drop him down to the 9-20 range.  I think it depends on the fit.  Ironically, Luka also shows shades of ANOTHER member of the U of Memphis coaching staff — Mike Miller.  Although I am gonna give Luka a blend of White Chocolate Jason Williams and Draymond Green — if you can imagine that.

… at this point I only trust the analysis/big boards/video breakdowns made by fans like you and me.  I am getting into The Dime Drop on YouTube — great stuff!  Too much MISinformation by the ESPN Industrial Complex — and that is the GOOD STUFF.  The rest of the stuff is PSUEDO-INFORMATION which is worse than NO information.
