Centers
Hayden Rupp C 7'2'' 265 23 B C D+ B C+ A
In a deep PF/C class, Hayden has a chance to be as good as any other big man prospect in the draft. Hayden has elite potential, but at 23 some worry if he will be able to capitalize on his upside. Above average inside scorer with a solid jumpshot, Hayden is also an above average post defender who should average around 1.5 bpg as a rookie. Extremely strong and a better defensive rebounder than offensive rebounder currently.
Alec Stewart C 6'10'' 248 18 B- C- D+ B C+ C
Another big that could end up being very good. Stewart has youth and great upside in his favor, an above average inside scorer and a good post defender that has solid strength. The rest of his game is pretty raw, so he'll need to capitalize on his potential early to become a great player.
Micheal Chen C 6'10'' 260 22 C A- C A- C+ F
What you see is what you should expect from Chen. He is an excellent shooter with great handles. He is an above average shot blocker, around 1.5-2 bpg as a rookie, also a good post defender. Great strength but a poor athlete, struggles getting off the floor. Just a mediocre defender. Average upside.
Yaroslav Yashkevich C 7'0'' 233 23 C+ C+ A- A- A- B
Role player type that might have his greatest value as a super-sub type. Decent jumpshooter who has range out to the 3PT line, below average post scorer. Loves to set up teammates, excellent passer who also has elite handling for a big. Very quick, quick hands on defense leads to steals, above average shot blocker and an excellent post defender. Very good strength, elite rebounder on both ends of the floor.
Ales Krecji C 7'1'' 232 21 B C F+ B B- C
Likely the best Center in this class. Great potential and already an advanced post scorer. Also has a great jumpshot. Won't turn it over much, good handles. Not much of a passer, looks to score when he gets the ball. May average around a block per game early, maybe more. Above average at steals for a big as well. Below average man to man defender currently though. Amazing offensive rebounder, struggles rebounding on the defensive end though. Amazing strength, great upside.
Power Forwards
Jonathon Peeler PF 6'8'' 240 21 B- B- D+ C B- A
Good all-around scorer on offense, both inside and out. Can knock down threes. Might struggle with turnovers just a tad, but should be fine with natural progression. Below average stats defender, but solid man to man in the post. Advanced defensive rebounder. Good strength, just a mediocre athlete. Very good potential.
Waylon Haggard PF 6'10'' 235 19 B- B- B B- B- A
If it weren't for Oro, Waylon might be considered the top pick in the draft. Not a lot of weaknesses in his game currently. Above average at everything on offensive, can knock down FTs consistently, can hit threes, good handles and passing for a big. Average stats defender who can hold his own on defense in the paint.Good strength, mediocre athlete, solid rebounder. Amazing potential.
Courtney Crawford PF 6'8'' 244 22 B C+ C B+ C+ D
Probably a backup big who can score well off the bench. Very good jumpshot, good inside scorer. Poor handling, average shot blocker but a good post defender. Mediocre rebounder with good strength. Mediocre upside.
John Hickey PF 6'10'' 237 21 C+ B+ C+ C B- A
Player who never seemed to be comfortable in his body in college, probably doesn't have the athleticism to ever be a great player, although his natural skills are impressive. Good post scorer with a great jumpshot. Good passer for a big man. Very poor athlete. Poor post defender, won't block a lot of shots. May average around a steal per game. Elite offensive rebounder. Average strength. Great upside.
Carlos Voskuhl PF 6'9'' 231 23 C+ D+ C- B B B
Role player type of big man that is an elite post defender and defensive rebounder. Just mediocre on offense.Might average around a block per game. Good upside. Great strength. Mediocre athlete.
Small Forwards
Jacquez Kemp SF 6'7'' 230 22 C+ A- C C+ C B
Great jumpshooter who is a mediocre defender. Average inside scorer. Above average beyond the 3PT line. Mediocre ball handler, poor passer. Not a great rebounder. Above average athlete. Solid upside.
Frederic Vanlandingham SF 6'8'' 230 20 C B C A C B
Solid role player who is great at picking the pocket of opposing players. Above average post and perimeter defender, can really guard any position on the court. Not a great inside scorer, but he is a good 3PT shooter. Poor handling, mediocre athlete. Solid upside.
Kelly McCabe SF 6'8'' 211 22 B- B+ B C+ C- B
Good overall offensive player. Can score inside and out. Good jumpshot with a good range on his jumper. Solid passer for a wing, average handles. Not much of a stats defender but is a good defender on the perimeter. Poor rebounder who is a great athlete. Great upside.
Gil Wert SF 6'7'' 224 24 B- C+ C A C+ C
Above average offensive player, but not great at anything on that end. Solid handles, not a great passer. Not a great stats defender, but can defend any position on the floor man to man, elite post and perimeter defender who is also elite at defending the drive. Above average rebounder with above average strength and good athleticism. Average potential.
Oro Moreno SF 6'8'' 245 19 A- C+ C+ B B- A
No brainer #1 pick. Long been considered the next big thing, Oro dominated his peers in Mexico and some had doubts whether he was just dominating due to lack of competition. However in the 2020 Olympics he had a coming out party of sorts, holding his own at 17 against NBA competition when they played the US. Recorded a triple double against Argentina and led Mexico to the bronze medal. Elite potential, some say he reminds them of a LeBron James. Very good inside scorer with a solid jumpshot. Just a mediocre 3PT shooter. Good handles, solid passer. Athletic freak. Above average stats defender who is good positionally as well. Good rebounder. Great strength. #1 pick.
Shooting Guards
Stephon Kieta SG 6'4'' 213 22 B+ C+ C C C+ D
Probably comparable to a very poor man's version of Keshawn Krump, without the defensive ability. Good inside scorer, not a great jumpshooter but has a streaky 3PT shot. Good handles, below average passer. Average as a man to man defender but that's about it on defense. Very good rebounder for a SG. Solid strength, great jumping ability. Mediocre upside.
Marcellus Dairymple SG 6'4'' 199 18 C+ B- C+ B D C
Very young player that has great upside. Still has a very raw overall game, but is a decent scorer on offense from the perimeter and in the paint already. Mediocre handling ability, decent passer for a wing. Above average stealing the ball but not much else on defense. Poor rebounder, solid athlete.
Matthew Brennan SG 6'4'' 206 22 C A- C+ B C- B
Role player type who has some very redeeming qualities. Elite jumpshooter, but just average everywhere else scoring wise. Solid handles. Good at stealing the ball. Also might average a block per game on defense, maybe a little less. Poor rebounder, decent athlete, solid upside.
Wyatt Hamilton SG 6'5'' 187 22 C A- C B D- A
Very similar player to Brennan. Worse offensive player overall, but has a better 3PT stroke. Might struggle with turnovers a bit but is good at stealing the ball. Very poor defender, decent athlete. Great upside.
Keshawn Krump SG 6'5'' 205 19 A- C- C+ B C A
In contention to go 2nd overall behind Oro. Already an amazing inside scorer, but struggles shooting the ball. Just an average jumpshooter who is a very poor 3PT shooter currently.

Solid strength. Great upside.
Point Guards

Just an above average player when it comes to PG skills, ok handling skills and a mediocre passer. Decent man to man defender that might average around 1.5 spg. Decent rebounder, good athlete. Good potential.
Marvin McIlvaine PG 6'2'' 195 20 C+ B B- B- C B
Might be the best PG in the draft. Good player everywhere on offense, could probably come in and hold his own as an offensive option as a rookie, or provide a great scoring threat off the bench.
