Bamba, perhaps?

I like Bamba a lot but there's a super low floor there. Trae seems like he'll be able to contribute something with his shooting and passing even if he's not a star, and it's not super hard to imagine a world where he's Steve Nash

Yeah. Best defensive player in the draft, hits 3s at almost 7 feet tall, and isn't even 19 yet.

And hits 3s in game, not like Bamba being guarded by a chair

He's not baad, but he's probably about 6'9 rather than 6'11, doesn't have a great wingspan, and can't protect the rim at all. He's potentially a great rim runner and garbage man, which a lot of people see as not worth a top pick. If he starts making contested 3s and learns defense, he'll be good. If not, he'll just be okay

Nah, but he's not a great fit in today's NBA which wants big guys to be defensive anchors. He could still be really good though.

He's not bad but he's deeply flawed. He might get 20 and 10 because he's super athletic, smooth, and plays hard but he can't defend at all, has an iffy jumper, and can't finish with his right hand.

Yes, he is probably the best player in the draft and has been the most dominant 19 year old ever in Euroleague and ACB league
