Preparations for the NBA are less than three weeks away and the above plan is underway. The top four players – Jabari Smith, Chet Holmgren, Paolo Banchero et Jaden Ivey – have been consistent throughout the season, but it is up to Nos. 4-8 slightly warmed by G League Ignite Dyson Daniels ‘goalkeepers enter the top five and prepare for the NBA plus Jalen Williams’ self-proclaimed first-round pick.

Yahoo Sports looks at the top five options, including the most recent ones in the first round and the selection of all 30 slots.

Ht./Wt .: 6-10, 220 pounds | Class: New | Auburn: 16.9 ppg, 7.4 rpg

Smith is still the safest way to No. 1 and communicated very well with the top teams. He’s not the best pick of the game, but his appearance is amazing with his three-point shot (about 42% off the ground) and his stomping in the paint.

Ht./Wt .: 7-0, 196 pounds | Class: New | Gonzaga: 14.1 ppg, 9.9 rpg, 3.7 bpg

Oklahoma City and general manager Sam Presti have three options in the first half and will be available next year to replace Victor Wembanyama or Scoot Henderson. Holmgren is the best option at No. 2 and has the potential to change the way the game is played at the NBA level.

Ht./Wt .: 6-10, 250 pounds | Class: New | Duke: 17.2 ppg, 7.8 rpg, 3.2 pp

Banchero feels like a lock on No. 3 and his amazing nature as a football coach and his size. It would not be wise for Houston to offer Banchero with the little Rockets talent coming into the team.

Ht./Wt .: 6-4, 195 pounds | Class: Sophomore | Purdue: 17.3 ppg, 4.9 rpg, 3.1 pp

Kings can trade in this election and it is a big target for groups that need a football player and a guide. Sacramento has recruited two top guards in the last two seasons, and the Kings should recruit the best-available player in Ivey (Ja Morant 2.0), or sell a team that needs a guard and then follow through. Jalen Duren or Mark Williams at some point.

Ht./Wt .: 6-5, 215 pounds | | Class: New | Kentucky: He has not played this season

Pistons can be a very good Sharpe model. The harassed guard left Kentucky after making false promises and never played a college game. If a group takes gambling on Sharpe’s potential, it should be a group in rebuilding. Cade Cunningham is the best keeper for Sharpe, and there can be no pressure from Sharpe to make it right away.

Ht./Wt .: 6-8, 215 pounds | Class: Sophomore | Iowa: 23.5 ppg, 8.7 rpg

Daniels had a great show in conjunction with the pro his day and was well interviewed by the teams. After a slow start in the G League, the Daniels closed out the season, making some and showing off their size and height against the most powerful opponents. His side is off the charts and there have been conversations that he could get into the top five after a strong workout.

Ht./Wt .: 6-6, 210 pounds | Class: Sophomore | Arizona: 17.7 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 2.5 pp

Ht./Wt .: 6-9, 230 pounds | Class: New | Baylor: 9.2 ppg, 6.4 rpg

Sochan had one of the most successful days in preparation and showed his speed and jump to three points – which he struggled with at Baylor. The NBA’s choices of style and pick-roll support Sochan, and he will no doubt be a better professional than he could make one year in college.

Ht./Wt .: 6-5, 180 pounds | Class: New | Ohio State: 13.7 ppg, 3.6 rpg

Ht./Wt .: 6-6, 222 pounds | Class: New | Duke: 10.4 ppg, 3.9 rpg

Ht./Wt .: 6-11, 250 pounds | Class: New | Memphis: 12 ppg, 8.1 rpg, 2.1 bpg

Ht./Wt .: 6-10, 205 pounds | Serbia | | Mega Basket: 10.7 ppg, 4.4 rpg

This is Tim Connelly ‘s best choice. Connelly had already done well to sign another Nikola back in 2014, and the secret is out. The new Nikola appeared in Chicago on his best day in Chicago and laughed like Luke Doncic throughout the workout and hit 10 corners in a row for 30 minutes which delighted the scouts. Jovic is a workaholic, but his personality is contagious.

Ht./Wt .: 6-0, 171 pounds | Class: New | Tennessee: 13.3 pages, 4.9 pp

Ht./Wt .: 6-7, 175 pounds | G League Ignite: 15.1 ppg, 7.3 rpg, 2.3 apg

Williams was the best player on the court in both days prepared for a combination of scrimmages. He reached for the basket freely, shot the ball well and finished very well on the transfer. In self-defense, he struggled with visuals to keep his man in front and was instrumental in side protection, shooting the differences in theft and direction. Last year, Josh Primo (No. 12 pick, Spurs) and Bones Hyland (No. 26, Nuggets) were impressive in the first round, and Williams could be that person this year.

Terry was chosen to remain in the show after taking part in the alliance, outside of his organisation’s media day. The Grizzlies have a regular court case with Ja Morant, Desmond Bane and Dillon Brooks and could take a player like Terry, who could form in the next few years as a second option for the young, talented team.
