It’s early to do a full big board, as at this stage it is impossible to be confident in even 10 guys being worth a first round pick. The info is so thin right now compared to what will be there by draft time. So let’s just run through the most interesting options, and then everyone else on the fringes.
Is Nikola Topic someone who is on your radar moving forward? His stats from last year look reasonable, he's made a huge jump so far in a decent league, and he's only 18.
Dean, what are your thoughts on Stephon Castle now? Defense first guard/wing who played as a primary initiator in HS but is now getting cast in a utility forward role for UConn due to upperclassmen ahead of him. His 3pt% and 3PR are poor but he has a decent FT%. He has a poor steal rate but eye tests well on defense, and has a comparable AST% and better AS:TO than both Holiday and Suggs during their freshman year. He is allegedly 6'6" with a 6'9" wingspan. Does he have any outs to be a bigger Suggs/Holiday type?

What do you think of Elliot Cadeau?
