They\u2019re simply some of the questions running through my head as I look at this class before the season begins, knowing that some of my opinions could look completely different six months from now.<\/p>\n<p>But I can tell you this: I\u2019m really looking forward to the 2027 NBA Draft.<\/p>\n<p>And probably not for the typical reasons.<\/p>\n<p>As of early September, I don\u2019t look at this class and see the type of star power we\u2019ve had at the top of some recent drafts. There\u2019s no Victor Wembanyama or Cooper Flagg. Outside of Tyran Stokes, who is currently No. 1 on my board, I\u2019m not sure there\u2019s anyone I feel as strongly about right now as I did Cameron Boozer, AJ Dybantsa or some of the other elite prospects we\u2019ve evaluated in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I could be completely wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody has played a college basketball game yet. We\u2019re months away from knowing what this class actually looks like, and every year somebody emerges that very few people saw coming.<\/p>\n<p>That uncertainty is exactly why I\u2019m excited.<\/p>\n<p>The 2027 NBA Draft feels like it has more questions than answers. And for someone who loves the evaluation process, that\u2019s the fun part.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I don\u2019t know exactly what to make of the 2027 NBA Draft yet.
