     Yes, I know it’s early but to me it seems like there is gonna be a consensus top 3 in the 2016 draft just like the consensus in this years (Okafor, Mudiay, Towns). 

     Ben Simmons, Jaylen Brown, and Thon Maker (very likely he will reclassify soon to 2015 class). Those three really seem to seperate themselves from the pack in the 2016 Draft class. Simmons looks like a lock to be a good to potentially great player in the league, and Maker just oozes potential. 

    To me though Brown is the one you want. His blend of size, strength, athleticism, & skill will make him a superstar in the league someday.

    It’s not a consensus if it’s in your opinion

     I agree that out of the 3, Jaylen Brown to me is the most impressive.  I think he is a 2 guard in the league even though most think he’s a 3, but I think his advantage will be at the 2 (Andrew Wiggins).  He seems to have all of the tools to be a great wing in the league some day.

    There is just something beyond impressive to me about Skal Labbissiere to me though.  He seems to be an abnormally good jump shooter for someone his age.  He can handle the ball, is long and can jump.  Pair that with his silky shot and I think he could end up being the best player out of what looks like a pretty talented class.

    I haven’t seen a mix tape like Thon Maker’s. It really is jaw dropping. I haven’t seen him context though. God knows what I’m missing. But, based off the mix tape, I’d take him over anybody. And then I saw Jaylen Brown and I feel like either one would have gone 1st this year, easily.

     I think Ben Simmons is #1, which isn’t to say I don’t like Jaylen Brown (gonna be a star). Of those 3, I’m tipping Thon Maker to be the biggest disappointment. His mix-tape looks good, but he doesn’t dominate games. 

    Simmons has the best handles of a 6’10 player to enter the league EVER. I am not exagerating. Some sites have him listed at 6’8", which is incorrect. If I’m wrong, find me a 6’10"+ player with better handles and passing and I’ll admit defeat. There isn’t any though….

    Check out his highlights from this season and you’ll see cross-overs, half-court lobs, eurosteps etc.

    And don’t tell me he’s Boris Diaw mixed with Lamar Odom….

    If anything he’s half Magic Johnson, half Chris Webber

         Better handles and passing than KD. Like I said, check out his footage from this season. He’s doing moves that would leave Kyrie Irving Impressed. 

        Not a shooter like KD yet though..

    I have to agree with Magic Jordan, Labissiere is legit. His high school team that was suddenly put together might be really bad but Skal is so skilled for his size.
