James Wiseman
Position: PG
Age: 22
Team: Los Angeles Clippers
Drafted: #1
The number 1 pick of the 2027 class also makes my list on top. He still has a bit slower start to his career, but he still could be the most impactful player of this class when finally playing on a competitive team and having a coach. We all see how important talented big men can be and he has all the tools.

Jakeenan Gant
Position: PF
Age: 26
Team: Denver Nuggets
Drafted: #5
At first glance, Jakeenan doesn't have those great statistics to be that high on the list. But if you take a look into the details, he is a very complete player on both sides of the court and I think the success of the Nuggets, even without a GM, has a lot to do with his play.

Sekou Doumbouya
Position: SF
Age: 22
Team: Memphis Grizzlies
Drafted: #2
Sekou looked like a up and coming super star during his first two seasons but struggled quite a bit in year three. In year four he also had a rough start and saw his role reduced in the Memphis rotation. He could improve from that, especially his shot from 3pt range looks much better now. If he can keep it up, he is still one of the best two-way players in the league.

Jaylen Hoard
Position: SF

Drafted: #3
Hoard is another strong two-way player on the wing. Not as good shooting wise and playmaker compared with Doom but still a pretty good player.

Romeo Langford
Position: PG
Age: 22
Team: Cleveland Cavaliers
Drafted: #8
Romeo Langford plays a huge role for this year's Cavs team, and they are smoking hot in the playoffs, so is Langford. During the season he proved his value as a pesky defender and is not shy about scoring. His efficiency needs some work though. Also, his decision making is sometimes questionable. But at this age there is plenty of room to improve and he is showing up during the playoffs and that is always a good sign for a young player.

Moses Brown
Position: C
Age: 22
Team: Washington Wizards
Drafted: #13
Brown has been playing very well since he arrived in DC. He is a more than solid post scorer and rebounder. His most outstanding skill is blocking shots and that is something the league craves. If he were a better m2m defender, he would be my #1 in this class.

Tremont Waters
Position: PG
Age: 23
Team: Sacramento Kings
Drafted: #6
Tremont may belong a little higher on this list but his playing time on an incredible deep Sacramento team is restricted. I really like his ability to make plays and disrupt passing lanes on the other side of the floor. He knows where to take his shots but is a limited scorer.

Patrick Williams
Position: SF
Age: 21
Team: Sacramento Kings
Drafted: #4
Like Waters, his numbers may suffer a bit because of the lack of minutes in the deep Kings rotation. But he is a decent scorer who knows when to shoot and when not. His playing card should be strong defense if he wants to make a bigger name of himself.

Jordan Nwora
Position: SF
Age: 21
Team: Washington Wizards
Drafted: #10
Nwora came into the league as a shooter, and that is what he is good at. His defense is solid enough that he is not a major liability. The lack of rebounding and blocking skills makes him a fit in only some special lineups, I think. But he can be a useful specialist.

Josh Green
Position: SG
Age: 22
Team: Dallas Mavericks
Drafted: #17
Another specialist is Josh Green. He is mostly on this list because of his time in Utah, where he proved a viable part of their rotation. after his trade to Dallas his playing time and with that his shooting diminished quite a bit. He is a strong m2m defender and has a good outside shot. Hopefully he can get his career back on track as a low usage 3&D player.

Justinian Jessup
Position: SF
Age: 25
Team: Washington Wizards
Drafted: #9
Another Wizards sharpshooter on the list is Justinian Jessup. He struggles a little bit after his trades first to Miami and then to DC but he showed excellent shooting form during his time in Minnesota. His other skillset is more average to below average but if his shot is falling, he really can space the floor.

Mfiundu Kabengele
Position: C
Age: 23
Team: Sacramento Kings
Drafted: #7
Mfiundu ends up on my list just because of his ratings in rebounding and blocks. So far, he didn't show anything and spent most of his time in the D-League. But his undeniable skills there should make him interesting for some teams.

Precious Achiwua
Position: PF
Age: 22
Team: Sacramento Kings
Drafted: #20
Achiwua is a relatively high-volume post scorer. He struggles a bit to take good shots but at least improved here. Also, his offensive rebound instincts are great. Besides that, we are talking about a very average player who maybe is better suited at SF.

Jordan Caroline is another specialist who creates his points by getting to the line often. He also can hold his own on defense and knows how to shoot efficient. A player made for certain matchups during the playoffs.

Nick Weiler-Babb
Position: SG
Age: 26
Team: New Orleans Pelicans
Weiler-Babb makes this list because of his defense. He is good at m2m and reads passing lanes well. Add some rebounding and playmaking skills (he should get his TO under control though) and you have a solid player. His offense is still pretty bad, but I think he could be improved a bit with some instructions.
