Even if we take rankings out of the equation, I don't understand why the Wizards duo of Bub Carrington and Kyshawn George weren't included. You can't tell me Bub isn't better than Tre Mann (who has only shown about a month of competence in three NBA seasons) or that the Suns wouldn't rather have the multifaceted George than Ryan Dunn, a guy with limited upside who's a non-factor offensively.

Aslo: Jarace Walker made the list? Really?

This isn’t going off of right this second, it’s a ranking off of everyone’s submitted rankings that go into projecting futures. Bub made other versions, very fluid. Jarace was a former top 10 pick, still has ton of upside, might just be a guy that needs new place.

By that calculus, I'd say we've already seen far more from Ron Holland, Yves Missi and Kelel Ware in 4/5th of a season than we've seen in Walker's 2 years.

Uhhhh, isn't Deni Avdija having a breakout season? Did you really mention THREE other Blazers and overlook him?

Deni is in the 2020 class, so he’s not eligible for this list. This is also off of rookie scale contracts (why it’s called a rookie scale board) or guys who got extensions but they haven’t started to count yet. It’s been explained in intro in previous installments.

Ok, fair point I missed the 2020 cutoff. My bad.

wait.... in what universe is amen thompson ahead of scottie barnes or brandon miller? In fact why is Barnes so low??? I know i must be missing something here. Because thompson is NOT the player, given the choice, most coaches (100%) would pick between Scottie and Amen. NOt to mention after Wemby the best player on this list might be jalen johnson.

I love this site, but part of me feels like they just flung a bunch of names of young guys out there with no real concern for why and what order. They also missed a ton of good players.
