Hello again – it’s time to update my update.
I last came to you regarding the 2021 NBA Draft three weeks ago, when the combine was happening and we were still finding out which fringe prospects were going to stay in the draft. Now that the deadline to pull out for NCAA players has passed, and now that scouts (and I) have seen most of these players perform on the court at the combine, we can go much deeper into analysis.
I posted my top 23 players for the draft three weeks ago, and that list remains below. I’ve now added 47 more players to take the list all the way to 70 – covering the players most likely to be selected (there will be 59 picks on draft day, which is July 29).
From my perspective, this draft is a bit different in terms of how its depth shakes out.
