    Here are a few comps for some guys in this class. The comps are for their floor, two ‘in-between’ versions of what they could be (the first is on the low side & the second on the high side) & their ceilings. These comps aren’t to say their gonna be identical to these guys, but just similar in styles. Give me yours too.

    Emmanuel Mudiay: Javaris Crittenton, Tyreke Evans, Baron Davis, Dwyane Wade.

    D’Angelo Russell: CJ McCollum, Ricky Rubio, Steve Nash, Steph Curry.

    Karl Towns: Andrew Bogut (now), Rasheed Wallace, Vlade Divac.

    Porzingis: Anthony Randolph, Andrea Bargani, Chris Bosh, Dirk Nowitzki.

    Jahlil Okafor: Eddy Curry, Nene, Brooke Lopez, Al Jefferson.

    Justise Winslow: Kent Bazemore, Wilson Chandler, Iman Shumpert, Andre Igoudala.

    Myles Turner: Channing Frye, Meyers Leonard, Roy Hibbert, Roy Hibbert with 3pt range.

    Stanley Johnson: MKG, Draymond Green, Ron Artest, Kawhi Leonard. Mario Henzonja: Rudy Fernandez, Gerald Green, Klay Thompson, Klay Thompson with an attitude.

     I can see Winslow topping out as a James Harden type also he;s very versatile 

     

    And also i can see Myles Turner potentially being a Chris Bosh type of player as well or LaMarcus Aldridge

     I think you’re way underselling Winslow. I can see him developing into a Kawai Leonard type player or a less explosive Dwade.

     With Turner, it’s all about if he becomes more fluid in his running. I think he could be a major piece to a contender. A stretch 5 that can anchor a defense.

     

    True, I may be underselling Winslow, but I haven’t seen the ball handling ability to be a Harden or Wade type. I’m not saying he doesn’t have that potential, I just haven’t seen those ball skills.

    I believe some people is starting to underrate Mudiay’s playmaking just because you haven’t seen them play. I’d say Mudiay is a better playmaker than Russell.

      I feel like anyone is a better playmaker then Westbrook sorry okc or russell’s fans but it’s true all he does run to the basket or takes a running three.

    I think Mudiay may be the best prospect in this draft, both short & long term.

    I like some ideas, names, especially the healthy, in his prime comparison of mudiay with BD.

    Maybe the floor shouldn’t be that low, the ceiling that high for some of them.

    Big al is a great post player, probably the best non all star in the league with monta, 17-9 for his career, but he’s also really undersized at C, i’m not high on okafor but he could still be better than big al at the end of the days.

    don’t think mudiay or porzingis will ever be 23 times all stars, multiple champs, all time greats at their position, it’s not a realistic ceiling for them.

    You’re harsh with justise, as a frosh he already had like 50 pounds on bazemore who’s an nba 3rd stringer, shumpert is a pretty dumb, inefficient, defensive role player averaging 8 pts for his career, he never translated his athleticism to the nba game, he can’t play through contact, that’s where winslow will be more than fine, chandler a fringe starter nba, a starter in a losing team, iggy the true facilitator in his prime, justise will probably never be.

    I’m high on him maybe too, i don’t really see best/worst case scenarios, but it’s way better than shump i can tell you that.

    D’angelo Russell is not a point guard, he played the 2 in college, he’s 6’5, he’s an outstanding facilitator, a lead guard if you want, he’s a "starting minutes" ginobili, a skinny-healthy better shooter brandon roy…

    He shouldn’t be compared to 3 MVP PG, the greatest shooter of all time, the 2nd greatest shooter and 3rd passer of all time, then rubio is totally off base, a true PG, barely 10 pts, horrendous shooter, under 37% FG for his career, mc collum an anonymous back up,undersized SG, averaging less than an assist per game.

    Myles Turner will probably/maybe never reach his ceiling, but it has to be higher than 11-7 hibbert for his career.

    At least a taller, PF/C, shot blocker…david west.

    That turnaround elbow jumper is LA/KG/sheed certified, true shot blocker not weakside shot blocker, his shooting stroke is outstanding at 6’11, he’ll add range, great touch, he’ll be fine when he’ll own his body, grown men’s body.

     I think everyone is under rating Turner, I think he has a lot of game like Aldridge, good shot with range , long, pretty athletic for a 7’er, good defender/rim protector, I just hope he falls to my Jazz, dought it happens though.

     These are somewhat realistic.  I can’t begin to count how many times I’ve come on here to see kids compared to allstars and/or hall of famers.  Look at the last 5-6 drafts and see if that makes any sense.
