Major-conference guys by ceiling, according to my model (alphabetical within tier):
GOAT ceiling: Zion
All-NBA ceiling: Ponds (Offensive volume/efficiency, outlier steal rate), Williams (high free throw rate, high IQ, functional athleticism)
All-Star ceiling: Nickeil Alexander-Walker, RJ Barrett, Nicolas Claxton, Tyrese Haliburton, Talen Horton-Tucker, Ty Jerome, Tre Jones, Chuma Okeke, Justin Robinson, Kaleb Wesson, Cassius Winston
Other than Zion, I think Williams, Barrett, Jones, Alexander-Walker, Ponds, Claxton, Horton-Tucker, and Haliburton could realistically develop into All-Star level players, roughly in order from most to least likely.
Hayes isn't too far off making the cut, but his 0 threes and 0.3 assists per game really hurt his rating
Nathan what makes Ponds the better PG than Morant to you? I've watched Ponds and he's impressive but what makes him such a high end talent for you.
