After the somewhat entertaining College Basketball Season for the 2k18-19, March Madness and the 2k19 NBA Combine in the Windy City we are almost in the NBA Green Room for the 2k19 NBA Draft. Many players have decided to either go back to school for at least 365 more days or remove their name from the 2k19 NBA Draft and hit the NCAA Transfer Portal which is being lit up like the ole pay phone booth from back in the 70s, 80s and 90s.
After watching plenty of College Hoops this past season and video of many players the Bluedude strikes with his clear cut Top 10 Players for the 2k19 NBA Draft. Yes we have what use to be the Big Three in Duke's dynamic duo of R.J. Barrett and Zion Williamson along with Murray State Racers Point God Ja Morant. Now after digging in the crates a few more names have entered the fray for being among the best of the best in this upcoming draft.
Let's get to the Top 10 Prospects for the 2k19 NBA Draft powered by that NBA Deadline in late May, "Do I stay or go back to school"!

"SQUEEZE the ORANGE"
Top 10 NBA Draft Prospects
(Not in order)
Zion Willamson PF Duke @DukeMBB #TheBrotherhood
You know the story and seen all the videos now he heads to CAA Agency over what many thought the two Agencies that would land Zion in Roc Nation Sports (Jay-Z) and Klutch Sports (Rich Paul/LeBron). Now that shoe deal gets even more interesting as Nike is not a slam dunk...
Ja Morant PG Murray State @RacersHoops #RacersNation
He is all of that as the "Logo" in Clippers Board Member Jerry West and Bulls NBA HOF Scottie Pippen have been on record in saying this dude is the best in the 2k19 NBA Draft and he will be a problem. His Pops Tee Morant played PG in High School with Sugar Ray Allen at Dalzell, S.C. Hillcrest H.S.. Morant looks to be locked in at the #2 Slot and joining Grind City which I think is a real good fit for him.
R.J. Barrett SF Duke @DukeMBB #TheBrotherhood
Smooth as they come and his game just translates to the next level with big numbers from day one. I have been watching this kid ever since he laced them up at Florida Prep Powerhouse Montverde Academy and his feel an BB IQ is off the charts. He should be a Knick but the Knicks never know what they are doing under Mr. James Dolan so pick #3 could be Barrett or Ronald Skolpinski...and I have no idea who that is but the Knicks think he will be great!
Coby White Combo Guard North Carolina
@UNC_Basketball #CarolinaSZN
Watched this young man in High School a few times and at the 2k18 Big Mac Game in A.T.L. his size and sneaky athletic ability and his range on his shot separates him from most at the combo guard slot. He was UNC's best shot-maker under duress last season and with his versatility and size he has been promised he won't get past #7 and the Chicago Bulls but watch out for smoke screen at this time of year!
Darius Garland PG Vanderbilt @VandyMBB
#AnchorDown #HarvardOfTheSouth
Yes super-smooth and a whole bunch of wiggle and craftiness to his game. Saw D.G. play at famed Brentwood Academy near Nashville, Tennessee (Also home to Jags CB Jalen Ramsey and former UNC Tar Heel Brendan Wright), the Nike EYBL Circuit (Bradley Beal Elite from St. Louis, MO) and he never disappointed. He reminds me at this stage of his game former Wake Forest Demon Deacon All-American Chris Paul (West Forsythe County, N.C.) and a tad bit bigger. I think he is a Laker at #4 or a Sun at #6...
Jarrett Culver SG Texas Tech @TexasTechMBB
#WreckEm #4To1
His vertical at the NBA Combine immediately tells you his explosion and watching the tape his game doesn't tell you that because he is so silky smooth. Right out the gate after the first game I watched J.C. I saw a smaller Paul George Clone. He can defend, has length and sneaky Hops just like PG-13 from "Regulators Report O.K.C." at Bluedude Sportstalk dba OKC Thunder Hoops. Now he is climbing but be careful as the Knicks are looking at him extremely hard as Barrett at #3 is the obvious pick but things change. I honestly think pick #5 the Cleveland Cavaliers makes the most sense with 2k18 pick and PG Collin Sexton.
DeAndre Hunter PF Virginia @UVAMensHoops #GoHoos
He made his name late in March Madness when the Cavs and #GoHoos needed him the most. His mid-range game sticks out the most which translates to pick and pop action in the Logo. At a listed 6-7 225 el bees a smaller David West (Former Xavier OH Musketeer from Raleigh, N.C.) as West made a living off the mid-range game and pick and pop action. Hunter could go anywhere from #4 through 10 depending on which team feels he is a fit as he is one of the few that could slide into the back half of the lottery!
Cam Reddish WF Duke @DukeMBB #TheBrotherhood
His game got lost behind Barrett and Williamson and at times was a bad fit for Duke. Now he is on the NBA Workout Trail that skill set that had Reddish a top 3 player in the Class of 2k18 in the Nation starts to reveal itself. His range, hops and sneaky handle has him inside the Top 10 and after seeing him last season at the 2k18 Big Mac Game in A.T.L. and on the Nike EYBL Circuit with Team Final (PA) 17U he fits with Trae Young and John Collins in A.T.L....and that pick would have the Peach dropping early in A.T.L.!
Rui Hachimura PF Gonzaga @ZagsMBB #UnitedWeZag
I love this young man's game, his effort, skill set and his physical attributes. Many have him late lottery I think he is better than and he will be a true PF as the NBA Game gets smaller and quicker at the Wing and Power Forward (Stretch 4). The only thing you worry about is his mid-range game as he appears to have one but really attacked the rim playing for the Zags. I think he falls inside that Top 12 I really do...
Brandon Clarke PF Gonzaga @ZagsMBB #UnitedWeZag
Yes Hachimura's Zags Teammate and he can fly and get up and down the hardwood. He defends and rebounds with rage as he has an edge to him and like that the most. Too many players nowadays are too soft in an around the paint and this dude's game would have translated nicely back in the 90s. Will he land Top 10 probably not but is he a still outside of the Lottery you bet he is...
