POINT GUARD ANALYSIS
This point guard group is very talented to say the least. The top five ranked point guards could all be off the board by pick number ten. I don’t expect another point guard to be selected until the late 20s but is still a deep, talented group nonetheless.
I believe that Fultz and Ball could both be top 10 talents at their position when they’re at their peak. Fox, Smith and Ntilikina could all be frequent members of the All-Star game. For the rest of the group they could all be solid backup options.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Kanasa guard Frank Mason II becoming one of the biggest steals from this draft. He has all the tools to be great expect for his height. His steady improvement at Kansas showed that he isn’t afraid of putting in the work.
