As the 2021 draft has come into greater focus and teams assess the quality of the first round going into various trade deadlines over the next few weeks, the question of depth becomes more and more relevant. If there’s an overarching theme with this class right now, it’s that it’s top-heavy: The NBA seems comfortable with the available top options, and most teams can at least sketch out a viable 10–12 prospects at the top of the draft. Based on everything I’ve gathered, that seems to be where the makings of a consensus end.
There are still two months of college basketball left, giving the top domestic-based players a lot more time to state their cases.
