     I haven’t seen one of these before so I’ll throw out some comps i see for next years class

    James Wiseman-JJJ

    Anthony Edwards-Oladipo

    Cole Anthony-Damian Lillard

    Jaden McDaniels-Brandon Ingram/Tayshaun Prince

    Vernon Carey Jr-Boogie Cousins/Jahlil Okafor

    Jalen Smith-Marquese Chriss

    Isaiah Stewart-Derrick Favors

    LaMelo Ball-Taller Seth Curry

    Strong top 5 but outside of that it lacks a lot of depth

     Vernon Carey, Jr.: Has anyone said Derrick Coleman yet?  I think someone has. Whatever.  Karl Anthony-Towns, who is kinda the modern DC but probably with more upside, although KAT is very Colemanesque.

    Cole Anthony: not a huge fan.  Uh… Mike Bibby.  A score first guy with range.  Can do all the point guard things, too, decent size.  Ok, maybe Deron Williams too.  Not looking at a superstar point guard I don’t think.  

    Isaiah Stewart: I have seen profiles of him and limited highlights but I did read up on him a bit.  Reminds me of Karl Malone.  Failing that, an Armon Gilliam tribute band.

    LaMelo Ball: Jeremiah Martin with more "buzz"?  

    Anthony Edwards: Scorer.  Shooter.  Not much else?  Ricky Pierce.  

    James Wiseman: probably somewhere between Stromile Swift and Wilt Chamberlain.  Probably from game to game, too, or, quarter to quarter.  Split the difference: blend of Larry Kenon and Artis Gilmore.  One comp I have heard that would be AWESOME if Wiseman can live up to it — David Robinson.  I see a lot of the Admiral there, although Wiseman is raw.  Hopefully he fills out.  If not, dude needs to POUND the weight room.  Although I could see him just being an Orlando Woolridge, or, to compare him to a BIG GAME JAMES of retro vintage: what about a 6’11/7 foot(ish) James Worthy?  Or, a bouncier Bob McAdoo without the range.  Or, is that just Amare Stoudemire?  Ironically, you compared Wiseman to Jaren Jackson, Jr., which I don’t see other than both are somewhat raw bigs with tons of length, buzz, and upside.  I ACTUALLY think Wiseman reminds me MORE of Kevin Garnett than Jaren does.  Wiseman is more of a lankier, lean, quick-twitch explosive athlete who pretty much gives you dunks/rebounds/blocks at this point.  Now, can he round out that game?

     Precious Achiuwa looks promising.

    I really hope Memphis signs him.

    My comparison for hachimura is…… Moe Harkless! That Jamison comparison is pretty funny.
