All-Star Potential of the projected top 9

Wembanyama

10/10 – Can he play PF like Porzingis when he enters the NBA?

Scoot

9/10 – His 3pt pull up is crucial to becoming a star.

Brandon Miller

8.5/10 – Being able to keep up with SGs and SFs could speed up his development. Does not have the scoring to warrant Paul George comparisons.

Taylor Hendricks

7.5/10 – An upgraded Tari Eason

Amen Thompson

8/10 – Similar to Scoot, arguably the first pick if not for Wemby in the draft and he could 3ball. I question him being 6-7”. 44” if he and his bro could shoot 34% they would have been dropping 35 a night in that league. But big if, their form sucks.

Ausar Thompson

8/10 – Seems to have a better basketball IQ than Amen, slept on.

Anthony Black

6.5/10 – Do not see a good chance of him becoming an All-Star.

Gradey Dick

5/10 – Role player with potential to drop 10 a night.

Ryan Rupert

6/10 – Really good wingspan.

Did not think it was worth a top 10 list if that’s 9. Definitely a solid draft to have a top 4/5 pick. Expect a lot of teams really looking to trade picks after 5th in the lottery. Based off nbadraft.net mock.

Edit per request:

Cam Whitmore

7.25/10 – Jeremy Sochan has a higher chance of being an all-star (well, obviously). Would be a steal at 20, unlikely. Needs to study Tucker and Draymond.

Jarace Walker

8/10 – Have him in the top 6 for sure. Has all the tools. Just because he has higher potential to be an NBA star than Hendricks does not mean he is more ready for NBA minutes.
