Not saying Flagg is a bum but those are off the top of my head and not touching anyone who didn’t go one like Durant.

I'd put both Oden and Durant up there as mega-prospects that just happened to come out the same year if we're looking at just hype and how they were viewed at the time without hindsight.

RJ/Zion would depend on when you were looking. IIRC RJ was the guy getting hyped since HS and entered the year as the presumptive #1pick/was the top recruit the previous year but Zion passed him fairly early in the season.

Looks like RJ was 1 across the board. Zion wasn't even the consensus 2 heading into the year.

Was Amar'e a Jewish prospect or did he convert later?
