27. Brooklyn Nets – Jaden Springer, G, Tennessee

Jaden Springer is a player that I believe could be selected in the top 10, he’s that talented, but decided to move down my rankings a bit due to the fact that some people smarter and more informed than me aren’t sold on him yet.

That said, I still like Springer as a talent and believe he has the potential to be better than where he might be selected. At 6-foot-4, it was his inconsistency that has many scouts worried. He did flash on both ends of the floor but simply didn’t do it on a consistent enough of a basis.

Maybe it will all click for Springer at the next level and he’ll be one of the better players to emerge from this draft. I’m hoping for it.
