I understand the concerns about Holmgren’s slight frame — but he’s such a unique talent that I’d be uncomfortable passing on a 7-foot legitimate rim-protector who can also bounce it like a guard and reliably make 3-pointers. He’s the most talented prospect in this draft and should be selected as such.

Banchero is probably the safest option at the top of this draft. He’s a big, strong and skilled forward who could be an incredible building block in Oklahoma City alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Smith still needs to develop in lots of ways but he’s already a great shooter and switchable defender who plays with great energy. If he doesn’t go first or second — and he obviously could — the Rockets will be thrilled to snag him with the third pick in this draft.

Ivey is an explosive athlete who plays big and is capable of attacking the rim in a variety of ways. As the Kings continue to build, the Purdue star would be a great option at this point in the draft in part because he could reasonably play beside DeAaron Fox.
