 I agree with all of those except for Bam Adebayo. I just don’t see the potential with him, he’s got some crazy low basketball iq. I can’t remember which game it was that I watched with him, but no joke, he was like 6 feet out of bounds and was still trying to play it. I haven’t seen much of him, but the few games I have seen I haven’t been too impressed.

 Bam is alot more skilled than you think, and he is only a freshman, so his overall skill set will get better overtime. To me, right now, he plays like dale davis and kenneth faried, but he can develop into a shawn kemp type of player as he continues to develop and maximize his skills. I’ve seen him face-up in the high post or mid post and shoot jumpers with a very soft touch, I’ve seen him face-up in the high post or mid post and use crossover drillble moves and spin moves to maneuver around his defender…. combined with his aility to explosively dunk and make acrobatic lay-ups, at times causes him to look a little like shawn kemp to me

 Your realistic comps turn this hyped up draft class on it’s face.  Im not trashing your post as I agree with a lot of your comps.  Just makes you think if these guys can only reach their realistic comps then this draft class will be remembered as dog shit. With that being said here are a couple things I took away from this post.  Im not going to comp Giles because I haven’t seen him play yet. You have Tatum as a realistic combo of a great shooter and a great defender.  Thats sounds like PG-13.  Fultz realistic comp should be a more athletic CJ McCollum.  I like the rest of the comps except for Bam. Don’t see anything resembling Shawn Kemp…maybe Shawn Long.  Oh yeah and the Miles Bridges-Kenny Thomas comp is classic. I don’t care if it’s an apt comparison or not . Billy King thru so much money at that fool and I laugh every time he is mentioned.
