1. Chef Curry. Highest outside, highest pot, third highest handle.
2. Jimmy Buckets. The next couple are close. C- handles hurts but he'll defend and score
3. D.Rose. Probably the most well rounded of the PGs, but again it's so close with these guys
4. Dame. Taking him over Kemba because of the C+ inside. Id be drafting these guys to be an elite scorer, Dame has a slight advantage
5. Kemba. Can make the argument for him over anyone but Steph, whole class is super close. Just worried about that inside scoring attribute, not usually a fan of dudes who have low inside but high outside. I would not be upset getting Kemba though

1. Stephen Curry - highest pot, already a bucket coming in, and at the weakest position in the league he’s a huge +.
2. Kemba Walker - 2nd highest pot, great base ratings, and just like Steph feasts at a weak PG position.
3. Derrick Rose - 3rd highest pot, great base ratings, and an inside alternative to the outside focused PG class.
4. Damian Lillard - very high pot, teen, good base ratings, and another PG in a loaded class.
5. Jimmy Butler - cliche, but great base ratings and very high pot. Could argue him higher, but he feels right at 5.

Stephen Curry - Best shooter in the draft, and one of the best scorers with the highest POT.
Derrick Rose - Great base for a point guard. Second best overall with the base and POT combo
Damian Lillard - Big time scorer. Got high pot and is coming in at 18. Could probably flip flop Rose and Lillard here if you wanted
Jimmy Butler - Fringe Outside shot so could be B-, B- to start at 19 and could get a Pot Boost
Kemba Walker - Only 18 and has 2nd highest Pot and B for outside shot. If he hits on his POT, going to be a very point guard

1. Steph Curry - Starting with B+ outside with the best potential. There isn't much to argue here.

2. Kemba Walker - Second highest potential, starting with B outside and high C+ handles (fringe B-.) Also has fringe C+ defense. He's Also 18.

3. Damian Lillard - Fourth highest potential. Is also 18 like Kemba. C+ B scoring to start can never be frowned upon. C+ defense. Handles leave a bit to be desired but that's why we have summer league and coaching.

4. Jimmy Butler - Just another stud SF to add to the league. Fifth highest potential. 19 years old. B- C+ base scoring, Fringe C handles so should limit the turnovers. B- defense that's fringe B and not bad rebounding for the position.

5. Derrick Rose - I love Roses' base but he's an inside first scoring point guard and that's not something FBB likes. He does have the third highest potential and is 20, so no chance to boost, but also no chance to bust. He's outside isn't too far off a B-. Handles are fringe B-.

1. curry , obvious pick. Absurd scoring for a rookie, oddly high defending given reputation coming out of college, and high pot. Also not a teen so no downside

2.Lillard, great scoring base and also not a totally trash defender, great pot with the chance to boost twice could be an insane scorer

3. Rose, good all around PG base and presumably will flourish in an inside focused offense. Jumper is prob good while 3pt poor so to be his outside being what it is means just jumper is prob quite juiced.

4. jimmy, should be an excellent defender if nothing else but his pot and starting base could see him become yet another solid wing in this league

5. This draft is stacked so you could prob put 5 different guys here idk. Hibbert and Ibaka both have really solid big man starts

1. Curry - might be the best spec we've. ever seen in BSL

2. Jimmy Butler - this is the league of great wings, all of them seem to pan out. Would not be surprised to see Jimmy as the 2nd best guy from this class when we get to the end of their careers

3. Kembaaaaaaaaa - If he BOOSTS, RIP LEAGUE

4. Dame - gonna be good for a long time

5. D Rose - if that outside develops watch out league. Whoever drafts him should get a coach to bump that 3 PT Shot AS HIGH AS POSSIBLE

This draft is wild. I'll consider super star potential as my ranking criteria here.

1. Curry. Reasons are very obvious. Very high shooting with great pot. Very very likely he's a bucket.

2. Dame. Love his build, age, and pot. He's in a great position to put up a lot of points starting from his rookie year.

3. Kemba. 18 years old. Decent build. Needs a boost at 19 to be a star imo.

4. Rose. Lower ceiling simply due to his age. Should be a solid player, but has worse odds of developing into a super star.

5. Hibbert. Too many amazing wings out there for Butler/DeMar too be Super stars in this league. However, Hibbert could end up being one of the best from this class. Great build and only needs a couple positive TCs.

1. Curry - he looks absolutely ridiculous and has GOAT scoring potential

2. Dame - 18 and high POT w/ C+ B scoring and not being a dud on defense means he'll be a stud unless his POT dies

3. Rose - Very nice base ratings and high POT. His shooting is a question mark but he's a very safe pick because he can't POT drop

4. Jimmy Butler - Should be a very well rounded wing and he has fringe B-/B- scoring

5. Kemba - Could put him as high as 2, he'll be a filthy scorer and passer if he has good early TCs

1 curry got the build of a future goat
2 dame also has a great fbb build
3 kemba another awesome pg spect with a nice build, lower inside hurts him compared to dame but both look great
4 jimmy butler looks like he will be a great 2 way wing, one of the most balance players in the draft and a teen with nice pot
5 drose would be higher if he was a teen but still a good chance of a star with him

Curry
Dame
Butler
Kemba
Rose

I’m pretty pro teen but I think that’s the top five. Cloud might be right on Hibbert though, bigs at a premium still too

1. Steph... what's to say that hasn't been said already, nobody comes in with that well developed offensive game ever and he's got the top pot to match? He's the chosen one

2. Kemba... Cardiac Kemba is fringe inside and defense, rebounding isn't far off either, close to C+ B C+ C+ C to start as an 18 year old with A pot, should be super athletic, going to be a offensive engine forsure

3. Dame... 18 so 2 chances to boost, already has elite potential, and a fantastic base, could be really special offensively

4. Jimbo... not too far off from B- B- C B C, 19 so he has a chance to boost, has A pot, little worried at what could happen if he doesn't boost or he pot tanks in his one teenage TC, but he's worth the dice roll, super valuable to have a 2-way wing with all the powerful wings in the league at the moment

5. J.R. Smith... this is where things get difficult but I like JR as a hedge against swinging for the fences on a raw but super promising athletic guy who lacks skill (DRose and DeMar and Ibaka etc). Maybe you don't have a franchise center piece but you also probably don't swing and miss on a top 5 pick here and you get a guy who can be a solid 2nd or 3rd option for you, it's sort of like hitting a double instead of a home run, but many teams can't afford to strikeout this high in the lottery, so that's my thinking here. His pot is still top 12, and he's got a well developed inside and outside game already, solid handles and rebounding, and fringe C+ / B- defense, so he's ready for day 1 and he's still likely to improve for a couple years. He is older at 23 but he can play. That's my rationale here.

Curry - Looks like he will be a superstar some day, B+ outside and top pot
Rose - great all around base for a pg and high pot
Kemba - also right up there with pot and has 2 chances to boost as well
Lilliard - still A pot and has a solid scoring base to start with, 18 years gives him a couple boost chances as well
Butler - has a chance to boost with A pot, might not hit the top level of wings we have seen but should be very good still as a 2 way wing

1. Steph Curry - So many teams are looking for a point guard, and Steph is the best shooter that has ever been in a BSL draft.
2. Damian Lillard - He's not a sure thing, but he's 18 so he might have the highest ceiling out of anyone in this class.
3. Derrick Rose - I know he's 20, but he's got to be the guy here. I could argue he should go 2. He's maybe the most ready player.
4. Jimmy Butler - He's 19 and has great starting ratings. He should be at the least a starting caliber wing.
5. Kemba Walker - This is boom or bust here, he's 18 years old, if he bombs in the first two TCs potential wise he'll be a major bust. If he boosts he'll be an All-Star.

Curry - He has an incredibly sexy base. Could be an elite scorer year one. Rest of his game will follow, very good potential too.

Lillard -Needs a little TC magic but if he hits hes gonna

Butler - B- B- C- B- C after one TC with very high pot, should be an elite wing for a long time

Derrick Rose - Can argue him higher with his base, potential and build. Will be an elite PG here.

Kemba 18 with incredible potential and base. Should be a scoring stud

also really like Lawson, Ibaka and DeRozan off first glance. Sexy draft
