We’re back again with the second edition of the big board comparison for 2025. For October and November we have four new big boards for you, including the first from the No Ceilings crew, Keandre Ashley/Hoop Intellect, Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN and Tankathon. There seems to be a good amount of agreement on the top 10 players, but beyond that, there is a huge contrast in opinion, not surprisingly.
Keep checking back, as I’ll be updating this post throughout as more big boards are released this month. And follow @hoopsdistillery on Twitter for update alerts.
