Im going to order them by their success via my opinion.
1. Towns- Pretty spot on under the basket, will open up his 3 in NBA, also can put the defense on with blocking and marking, also has good hands to make accurate passes. Lots of potential in this one.
2. Cauley-Stein- I think his game is going to rely on his defensive work. He's going to be one of the most agile and explosive big men you can find. He's listed as 240 but doesnt have the presence to score underneath or really anything beyond 10 ft.
3. Devin Booker- This kids got the stroke to be the rain dropper and is quick enough to run the floor, I think Booker will be one of the bigger surprises out of UK.
4. Trey Lyles- Pretty polished offensive player all around. Can come underneath and with a little more improvement pop outside for the three ball, needs to learn defense.
5. Dakari Johnson- Has trouble scoring where he takes a majority of his shots, translate that to NBA defenses he's going to have a struggle, doesn't move very well either.
6./7. The Twins - They might make a roster in their first year but these two are a dime a dozen* for all you elitist easily replaceable imo. Dleague/ Overseas. Andrew keeps improving his shot he could be a roster guy.
Way too bored this afternoon, I dont even like basketball.

Towns - consistent all-star
Cauley-Stein - solid starter
Booker - solid role player
Lyles - dont know enough to make prediction
Johnson - same as Lyles
Harrisons - have potential, but might make a roster

Towns-Perennial all star.
WCS-Solid starter, definitely has a place as a rim protector. Can be an elite defender.
Booker-rotation player for many years.
Lyles-Depends on the situation he ends up in, but I could see him growing in to an all star.
Johnson-Out of the league very soon.
Twins-May stick around for a couple years, but see them as below average NBA guards.

I saw almost every game UK played this year thanks to SECN, ESPN, and a DVR. WCS developed a decent midrange jumpshot, improved his foul shooting to 70ish range by season end, and basicly has improved markedly each year. Will be interesting to see what his pro career does.

What can I say...should have stayed. He improved a lot over last season but is still pretty green. A NBA team is not going to spend a lot of time on him before shipping him to the D-league. Even at 7ft he is not a good leaper.

No, lets not. Basketball silliness is over. Back to offseason football nonsense full time now.

Towns- will become a great player and starter
WCS- bust baby, will aqverage less than 4 minutes a game
Booker- D league for a few years
Lyles- solid backup
Johnson- D league for a year or so
twins- Iraq

WCS held opponents to 22% shooting this year, idc if you can do that there is always a spot in the league for you, look at Deandre Jordan and Rudy Gobert they have no offense but they are two of the top 5 centers in the league. you can also add Noel

Agreed. The phrase doesn't make much sense anyway, so if he admits it it will make me laugh

Towns- Will be a baller. All star material
Cauley Stein- Athletic big man that will carve a niche on someone's team. Needs some work on offense but his height and defensive abilities will keep him in the league for a while
Booker- Will be a solid shooter for the right team. Has a lot of potential if he is put in a good system where he can take his shots. Will be an NBA player for a long time if he can get bigger and keep improving.
Lyles- Offensive skills and height make him a NBA player for multiple years. Don't know enough about him to make a bigger prediction than that
Dakari Johnson- Needs fundamental work big time. Big body, big potential but he will have to get better in a hurry to be a mainstay in the league
Twins- Hard to say. I think they can be great in the right system and could both be great bench players but it is hard to say where they fit. Andrew's shot makes him pretty marketable.

Towns - monster in the paint
Cauley-Stein - aggressive defender who will continue to improve
Booker - Johnny Basketball
Lyles - showed a lot of smoothness in every aspect of his game. May be the best of the lot.
Johnson - not confident he's ready for the next level. Made a mistake leaving so early.
Harrisons - I don't see them succeeding in the NBA.
