Plus the Kentucky ankle weights. Once he takes those off, he will become the next Jrue Holiday.

Sam Vecenie updard big board
Next year’s draft is seen as one of the weakest cycles of talent in the last decade – at least at the top of the class. Recent McDonald’s All-American, Nike Hoop Summit and Iverson Classic events have been loaded with top potential 2024 prospects and open to NBA evaluators. I’ve asked a number of NBA executives, scouts and agents over the last month at what pick in the 2023 draft do they think their current favorite player in the 2024 draft would be taken. The answer I get is typically somewhere between No. 5 and No. 8. Some NBA evaluators believe there is no player in the 2024 class who would be taken in the top seven of this class. I personally think that is a bit aggressive, but I wouldn’t take any of the 2024 prospects currently over my top five in 2023. These players, of course, are a year behind in terms of their development.
…So where does that leave the 2023 class? Right now, I have Victor Wembanyama in his own tier at No. 1. The next tier would come from No. 2 down to No. 5. Then, another tier from No. 6 to No. 12. The next group goes from No. 13 to No. 22, and those are the players I feel very confident will hear their names called in the first round right now. After that, it’s a free-for-all from No. 23 down to about No. 42, with all of those players having a very realistic chance to play their way into a first-round pick or slide out and have to answer real questions about whether they stay in this draft class.
Here is where my board stands now.

I would have Whitmore over Jarace who I like a lot but he's much more of project to me than anything.....jack of all trades master of none type

Yea, no way I draft Jarace over Whitmore. I will take a gamble on Whitmore’s upside.
I guess maybe bcos I have watched him more than most of the players, I see his flaws clearly. I am lower on him than most. Have him in the 10-15 range.
Yeah I know jarace is the ultimate role player but for me personally if I compared whitmore to miles bridges then I would rather Jarace who I compare to a more athletic draymond
Hot take I know

As a UH alumnus, I hope this would be the case. But folks really underrate Draymond. Jarace’s passing, defense and IQ (3 things that make Draymond special) don’t project to me to be in the Draymond level.
Jarace is so stiff sometimes. I think he is getting overrated on defense.
The passing is good, But right now, it’s mostly flashes. Don’t think it’s good enough for any team to give him the opportunity to use it in the NBA like Draymond. Jalen Johnson on the Hawks was 10 times the passer in college and even he does not get that opportunity.
His shooting too is suspect. Don’t buy it at all.
For a supposedly “High floor “ player, so so much in his game needs to improve.
I will defer to you
You’re way more knowledgeable lol this ain’t my wheelhouse

lol, u don’t have to defer. We are all guessing.
