 I'm not including Bender, because I want all the guys to be definite possibilities to draft. Bender may be gone already.

 Also you could consider how they would fit in here and with are system.

 Just write in your big man if he's not listed.

 Simmons is everyone's favorite player, he's going first we probably can't draft him. He rebounds line a big, but on offense he plays like a point guard that doesn't take jumpshots.

Poeltl's the best bet to make an impact in the league, I think.  For upside in the top 10, I think Skal or maybe Rabb is probably the way to go.

I agree and would add as a corollary of this thought that Poeltl is more able to contribute right away but has a higher floor and far lower ceiling than Rabb and especially Skal.

Skal could become a big time player in 3-5 years.

Ellenson - I've liked what I've seen from him at Marquette.  He won't be a superstar but he strikes me as a combo of some Troy Murphy mixed with Channing Frye.  If we get stuck with the 5 - 7 pick he is begrudgingly my consolation prize.

Poeltl - Love his size and footwork.  I think he'll hold his own on both ends of the floor in the NBA.  I had hoped he'd be in the 2014 draft so we would have had a chance to draft him with the Rozier pick.

Rabb - lost some luster toward the end of his senior year of HS, but has looked good at Cal.  I think I'd take him over Scal, and would feel fine picking Rabb anywhere 8th+

Bryant - I've seen this guy play for Indiana a couple of times and he's intriguing to me as a non-lottery pick.  Reminds me of Al Jefferson.  I think he's on the young side for a Freshman too.

Jeanne - I admit I know nothing about the guy other than his age/profile, etc.  That said, I really want him in the draft.  French prospects have faired well in the NBA, and he strikes me as a perfect draft and stash high upside pick for the C's with their two late picks.  Hopefully Gobert II.
