- Ricky O'donnell
- Cade Cunningham. Position Guard. Height 6'8. Weight 220. Cade Cunningham profiles as the type of oversized lead creator that makes for an ideal franchise cornerstone in today’s NBA.
- Evan Mobley. Position Big. Height 7'0. Weight 215. It’s easy to let the imagination run wild at first sight of Evan Mobley’s immense versatility for a modern big man.
- Jalen Green. Position Guard. From G League Ignite. Height 6'6. Weight 180. Green’s explosive leaping and takeover scoring ability has had him marked as a phenom since early in his high school career out of Fresno, CA.
- Jalen Suggs. Position Guard. Height 6'4. Weight 205. Suggs stepped into a perfect situation the minute he walked onto campus at Gonzaga. Surrounded by a team of proven veterans that already provided shot creation, shooting, and interior scoring, Suggs was able to serve as the accelerant that turned a very good college basketball team into a historic one.

- Mike DeCourcy
- Cade Cunningham, 6-8, PG, Oklahoma State. There was so much to love about what Cunningham put on display as a Cowboys freshman, and it starts with the skill that so many others in this draft have not yet mastered.
- Evan Mobley, 6-11 C, Southern California. It's possible Mobley could rise to the very top of this draft because he so beautifully fits the ideal of the modern NBA big man.
- Jalen Green, 6-6 SG, G League Ignite. Entering the G League bubble for an accelerated 15-game schedule turned out to be a much better proving ground for Green than the hodgepodge of G League and international exhibitions that had been proposed at the Ignite program's introduction.
- Jalen Suggs, 6-5 PG, Gonzaga. You want to know why Suggs is a fabulous prospect? Forget about the buzzer-beating shot that put the Zags into the NCAA championship game and put in the tape of the final 20 minutes of their West Coast Conference title game against BYU.
- Detroit Pistons — Cade Cunningham, Oklahoma State. There's a lot to love about Cunningham, including his 3-point shooting touch, which is rare in this class.
- Houston Rockets — Jalen Green, G League Ignite. When Green signed onto the G League Ignite program, it was described as an operation that would be little better preparation than another year spent in AAU.
- Cleveland Cavaliers — Evan Mobley, USC. It is a measure of the change in NBA mentality that Mobley, as the draft's best center prospect, is not automatically the presumptive No. 1 overall pick.
- Toronto Raptors — Scottie Barnes, Florida State. He is impossible not to like and a challenge to love — at this stage, anyway. Barnes offers so much: a winning background, the ball skills to function as a point guard, a commitment to his teammates, the size to overwhelm at that position or even function at times as a small-ball power forward.
