1. Jabari: "Celtic" -Panic
2. Booker: Double boost chance to explode
3. Bam: Double boost chance, position of need across the league. Best player in the class IRL
4. Randle: I already have Randle in another league so he's my son now
5. Turner: Really good base, fringes everywhere

1. Devin Booker - best outside rating in the draft and only 18. Has chance to play PG which could elevate his value based on handles. Sky is the limit.

2. Bam Adebayo - another 18 year old with great upside. His more developed defense at such a young age is huge and he should be a perennial all star with the thin list of good centers in the league.

3. Jabari Parker - Parker has all the makings of an elite wing player in this league but I have doubts on his outside game developing. He could arguably go #1 in the draft but he’s a couple years older and the teams picking at the top value teenagers much more.

4. Julius Randle - Randle can do a little bit of everything but is surely flawed in some ways not visible by his ratings. He’ll probably struggle with turnovers and overall defense but he’s definitely a nice add for anyone picking in top 5

5. Myles Turner - I could easily see Turner rise on this list. He’s only 19 and looks to be a dual threat offensively if he progresses nicely. A low rebound rating to start is really what has him at 5 on my list. Has elite upside if he can get some good TCs and develop.

DBook - High pot, boost possibility, good starting scoring traits.
Jabari Parker - Highest pot and imo the best starting traits.
Julius Randle - High pot, some of the best starting traits
Bam Adebayo - Probs the best big in this draft. Boost possibility
Jalen Brunson - Great starting traits and good enough pot for the possibility for him to be really good.

Booker
Jabari
Bam
Myles
Randle
Bam and myles should have good blocking. They look like solid big men prospects, booker and jabari should be volume scorers, randle may not translate to fbb as well but would be cool to see him as an efficient big who can board

* I have not looked at the file

1. Julius Randle - I have to ignore the name and look a the player and think of the build. I think he could end up being the next Al Jeff. Probably good inside and strength, he will be a post D guy more than shot blocking, but will actually hit FTs at a good clip.

2. Bam - I want to swing for a home run at the most scarce position. Will be a tremendous Defensive big, what Rudy should of been

3. Myles Turner - all the same reasons as Bam, but only 19

4. Jabari - he has such a nice base. Idc about wings much but he’s going to be good for sure. No pot death possible either

5. Booker, he’s your home run swing at guard. Should be an unreal bucket getter. Let’s see those handles though. Could also end up being Bradley Beal 2.0

Bam elite defense. Double boost spot, good start high pot
Booker- PG cheese possible double boost, high outside gonna score a ton
Jabari smell like a trap, but idk he’s gonna be a good scorer probably
Randle yuck. But he looks good. I know he stinks I just know he’s gonna stink and I’m gonna get stuck with this dirtbag
Turner- teen high pot solid base. Should be solid

Booker - Looks like a boom player with a small chance he busts
Turner- Hello.. could be the best player here if his athletics are right
Randle- I am the Big Whisperer and I don't like this one. I love this one

#1 Bam - in a league where shot blockers have vanished, bam looks like a clear candidate to come in and be an elite defender at center.

#2 Booker — take the risk and swing for the fences. Likely has shit handles, but if things turn out, he’s maybe the best player in the file.

#3 Julius Randle - risky pick here, but I like the chance of him being a freak non-option at PF. Think of him as a knock off ZBO.

#4 Jabari Parker — interesting build. Surface level he looks great, but could be a bit shitty with the physical attributes. However, Jabari was a stud and may actually be the clear #1 and we’re all over thinking it.

#5 Myles Turner — I like this build. It’s clear we’relacking in elite post players… take the shot and try to lock in a star.

1. Bam Adebayo - B defense as a 18 year old is pretty wild. D handles is a shame though ..
2. Jabari Parker - Going to be a bucket. B C+ with A pot? Highest inside as well.
3. Julius Randle - My type of big! Should be an easy 20/10 big as a non option more than likely
4. Myles Turner - If he comes in a shotblocker, he'll be a highly touted big in a league with not much shot blocking.
5. Devin Booker - These guys are built to turnover the ball like 4+ a game. Don't trusdonks.

1. Jabari Parker - This is the draft where donkey loaded a 20 something kid enough to not even care about a teen boost. Jabari looks awesome.
2. Booker - PG so valuable and assuming his handles aren't ass he's got star potential.
3. Myles Turner - Assuming he has higher blocks than Bam. Blocks >
4. Bam - Looks like a probable star too.
5. Randle - too nice of a floor to not be a star.

HM: OG/Bridges who are studs with a boost pop

1. Jabari looks incredible even if he can’t boost. Unless he has all time bad TCs he has the scoring/D base to be a stud

2. Bam - two chances to boost with B defense is dope. Just need his boards to develop

3. Booker - somewhat high risk if he has bad handles, but he could be Terry 2.0

4. Myles Turner - similar to bam but has a higher floor and probably lower ceiling

5. Randle - could make a case for him even higher, but I’m a bit worried about his post D and TOs

Jabari - looks like a stud w high pot and solid athletics

BAM - mostly cause he’s 18 and already good defense / rebounding and outside

Devin Booker - being able to be cheesed at PG he’s top 5 no doubt

Julius Randle - looks like a classic scoring / rebounding big that can contribute to the offense and boards right away

Myles Turner - Good scoring ratings and prob a good defender too, high pot

Devin booker - looks solid to start and 18 with pg eligibility

Bam - has what you want in a big and only 18

jabari Parker - has A really good starting base, should make it even if can’t boost, could argue at 1

Myles turner - my 2nd best big in the draft after bam, hopefully blocks shots

julius randle - should be a very nice big even if not a staror anything

Jabari Parker - Elite foundation and has the commish stamp of approval. Good potential

bam - huge boom or bust potential with his age. Really like his base, if TC isn’t stupid he’ll be on his way to being an elite big

devin Booker - for sure gonna be an elite scorer. Those handles will be interesting but I think he’ll be deadly

Myles Turner - an elite rim protector that can space the floor. Lot of teams would drool over adding a guy like that to an outside offense.

Julius Randle - the way donkey makes bigs I foresee a turnover issue here. An elite but flawed big

#1 Bam - love the build. 18 and highest pot too

#2 Julius Randle - could be an elite scoring SF

#3 Booker - could be Kyrie-esque, could also be like John Wall

#4 Jabari - Will be a terrific balanced/inside wing

#5 - Frank Kaminsky - glad donkey is making these draft classes with some variety to what has happened irl. Frank could be SICK!!

Parker: highest pot in the draft. no chance to boost but is starting with a B C+ B-. just needs a good TC or two and will be a star
Bam: personally like for his upside given he is 18 and has a good B C+ base
Randle: We know he can score and I would move him to SF. third highest potential
Booker: depends on whether he boosts, but he will be able to score. he's also SG for positional flexibility
Turner: good FBB big that I would consider here with a chance to boost once
