Players 6-10

6. Cole Anthony, Guard, North Carolina
7. Anthony Edwards, Wing, Georgia
8. Isaac Okoro, Forward, Auburn
9. Deni Avdija, Forward, Israel
10. Aaron Nesmith, Wing, Vanderbilt

The difference between Cole Anthony and Anthony Edwards are simple. Edwards is spectacular with contact balance offensively. He is great at scoring at the rim, and put up stats no matter what at Georgia. Anthony, however, is more-so a shooter and facilitator. He is more attentive on defense and is more likely to have an impact on winning, even when he does not have the ball in his hands.

Isaac Okoro is the best overall defensive player in this draft class. He is incredibly clutch and has proven that he can score inside. If Okoro had anything resembling a decent jump shot, he would be the first overall pick. Avdija has grown on me since he returned to play this past season. He has improved his shooting and free throw numbers and been effective on both sides of the ball.
