The 2021 NBA Draft class is already emerging as a standout cohort, particularly at the top, with multiple players that possess All-Star potential. The standout names included Cade Cunningham, Jalen Green, and Jalen Suggs. The 2021 draft was similar to this year’s in that top-ten picks opted for unconventional routes to the NBA, exemplified by the likes of Jalen Green and Jonathan Kuminga. In hindsight, this draft class also had many hidden gems. Second-round or undrafted players from this class include Alperen Sengun, Herbert Jones, and the Lakers’ Austin Reaves.
Two years later, with more information, the question arises: If the draft were held today, where would these players be selected?
