1. Victor Wembanyama, Metropolitans 92 (France)

There is no doubt that Wembanyama is the best big in this draft, because he is the best player in the draft. Wemby is the clear Number 1 pick for San Antonio. He can do it all: shoot, dribble, pass, defend both on the perimeter and the paint. At 7' 4", the French big man is a true unicorn in today's game. Wembanyama's only downside is his frame and if it can withstand a full, physical NBA career.

2. Jarace Walker, Houston

Jarace Walker is a physical freak of nature. 6' 8", 240 lbs, Walker was a man amongst boys in the American Athletic Conference last year. His defense and rebounding will automatically translate to the next level, and his athleticism allows him to be switchable two through five. Walker showed an ability to stretch the floor, but his offensive game still needs a little refining. He's a prospect who won't need the ball in his hands and is a good connective passer for his position.

3. Taylor Hendricks, UCF

Hendricks is everything the modern NBA covets. A long, athletic four man who can be a swiss army knife of sorts. Hendricks has the ability to guard all five positions, making him a valuable defensive piece. He also displayed solid rim protection, averaging 1.7 blocks per game at UCF. Offensively, Hendricks is able to stretch the floor, as he shot 39.4% on nearly five attempts from three. Taylor Hendricks is the perfect connective piece that championship teams covet.

4. Dereck Lively II, Duke

Outside of Wembanyama, Dereck Lively II is the best interior defender in this draft class. In his lone year at Duke, Lively's defense was the only thing keeping him on the court at times. He averaged 2.4 blocks per game in the ACC, and was able to affect shots without fouling. Dereck Lively has the potential to be a Brook Lopez level defender. The main concern with Lively the lack of an offensive game. Jon Scheyer couldn't play his former top recruit at times because he looked so lost on the offensive side of the ball. However, if you saw footage of his pro day, Lively was unconscious from beyond the arc.

5. Kris Murray, Iowa

While it sounds lazy, Kris Murray is the same type of prospect as his brother Keegan. Murray scored at will in college, torching Big Ten defenses regularly. He didn't shoot it as well as Keegan did, but he made strides in his game during his time at Iowa. Murray is going to fall farther than his brother did, but should be able to carve out a role as a smooth two-way wing with the ability to stretch the floor.

6. GG Jackson, South Carolina

In his lone year at SC, GG Jackson had a lot of ups and downs. He had the ball in his hands a lot, which led to a ton of shots being put up. Those 14.4 shots per game did not come with great efficiency over the course of the season, as Jackson put up sub 50% shooting from the field and under 35% shooting from three. The intriguing part of GG Jackson is everyone knows the ability to score is there, it's a question of whether or not an NBA staff thinks they can unlock it. If Jackson lands in the right system, he has the ability to be a very good scorer for a big man.

7. Noah Clowney, Alabama

Clowney is an upside pick in the back end of the first round. Although he did not produce a lot in his freshman year, he has all of the tools you would want out of a big man. He has a long frame at 6' 10" and a smooth stroke, but it did not translate onto the court. Clowney has all of the potential to be a good stretch big who can offer solid rim protection as well, but teams are going to have to develop that.

8. Trayce Jackson-Davis, Indiana

Mike Woodson convinced Trayce Jackson-Davis to come back for his senior year, and it did leaps and bounds for his draft stock. TJD did everything for the Hoosiers in his last year at IU except shoot a three. He did not attempt a single three last year, but it somehow did not matter. Jackson-Davis has some of the best footwork in this class, getting to his left hand with ease. As a smaller center, TJD had no issues on the defensive end, averaging eight defensive rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game. I could envision Trayce Jackson-Davis being a solid rotational big that can come off the bench and give you great energy.

9. James Nnaji, Barcelona (Spain)

Nnaji is a very raw prospect for the next level. Thankfully, teams will have the ability to stash him in Europe for a year and send him back to Barcelona, which should aid his development better than the G League. James Nnaji is a physical and talented athlete that just needs more play time on the court. At this point and time, Nnaji won't give you much offensively besides a lob threat, but his big body should give him a good chance to be a solid NBA defender.

10. Colin Castleton, Florida

The big man class kind of falls off of a cliff after Nnaji, so I'm going to take a swing on a guy I believe in. Colin Castleton was a four year senior in college who unlocked another level once transferring to Florida. He was an anchor defensively that portrayed elite rim protection. Castleton is a big body teams can throw out to try to disrupt opposing big men. He does not give you much as a shooter, but I do not think he has to stretch the floor to be effective. Castleton has the chance to be a solid roll man at the next level with good rim defending.
