The Magic are officially on the clock followed by the Thunder and Rockets. And while the consensus seems to be around the same top three prospects - in some order - I actually view the top tier as a four-player pool Tier 1: The Big Four Rankġ. He almost assuredly won't go first or possibly even second, but Banchero is first on my board. At 6-10, 235 pounds, he has the perfect blend of an NBA-ready body and polished skill set, able to create his own shot and make plays for others. Banchero is a matchup nightmare with the potential to play the five in today's evolving outside-in NBA. His biggest question mark is on the defensive end of the floor. Jabari Smith Jr., F, Auburn (6-10, 210 lbs) If he can lock in to become a two-way player, Banchero has every opportunity to become a big-time star. but those teams all had a little more experience than the '14 team.

Holmgren's gap between floor and ceiling is significantly wider than any player in this draft. Holmgren's critics are loud, but the 7-1 center is a unicorn with elite shot-blocking and an ability to stretch the floor as a 3-point shooter. While placing him fourth here might feel like a knock, I still have Holmgren as comfortably the best center in this draft. Nobody is questioning Holmgren's game or mentality. He also had 17 points, 1 assist and finished the game with a 18 efficiency. That day he grabbed 16 rebounds in Kentucky Wildcats's home win against LSU Tigers, 85-67.
