5/30 update: One more big board update to close out the month from Kevin O’Connor (Yahoo Sports) who has Cedric Coward all the way up at #5!

---

Coming in hot with this month’s big board comparison, as June is just around the corner. Luckily, we have a fresh big board update from Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo (ESPN) as of this morning! We also have boards from Kevin O’Connor (Yahoo Sports), the No Ceilings crew, J. Kyle Mann and Danny Chau (The Ringer) and Tankathon.

There are various changes to check out after the NCAA withdrawal deadline came and went this week, including 18 from ESPN’s top 100 list who opted to return to school and take advantage of NIL deals.

Keep checking back, as I’ll be updating this post as more big boards are released this month. And follow @hoopsdistillery on Twitter for update alerts or search #bigboardcomp.

I’m a little late posting this month’s big board comparison—it’s been a busy work month—but we now have six new boards to compare as we inch closer to the Draft Lottery on May 12th. This month’s comp includes boards from Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo (ESPN), Kevin O’Connor (Yahoo Sports), the No Ceilings crew, Keandre Ashley (Hoop Intellect), J. Kyle Mann and Danny Chau (The Ringer) and Tankathon. Aside from the top two, there’s quite a lot of disagreement amongst prospects, so plenty of food for thought as we all continue to watch tape and analyze ourselves.

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 or search #bigboardcomp.

3/29 update: We have three new big boards (for a total of eight boards to compare for this month!), including an updated version from Jeremy Woo and Jonathan Givony/ESPN, and the first boards from Kevin O’Connor/Yahoo Sports and Danny Chau and J. Kyle Mann/The Ringer.

The last ESPN board was release on 3/1 and we see a lot of movement over the course of a month, including with Jeremiah Fears, Derik Queen and Collin Murray-Boyles moving up into the top 12. Nique Clifford moved up to #25, and Yaxel Lendeborg and Bennett Stirtz make their first appearances on this updated board in the top 35.

The Ringer’s 2025 NBA Draft Guide is back with their first big board (lottery only for now) sans Kevin O’Connor who released his Yahoo version of the draft guide which is not quite as pretty, but chock full of great analysis. Chau and Mann have Labaron Philon all the way up at #9.

Meanwhile, KOC’s board has Derik Queen and Khaman Maluach at #4 and #5 ahead of VJ Edgecombe (#6) and Tre Johnson (#11). Also worth noting on this board are Rasheer Fleming at #42, Asa Newell at #22, while Maxime Raynaud comes in at #18 and Bennet Stirtz at #20.

Welcome to the March Madness edition of our big board comparison with new boards from Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, No Ceilings, Tankathon, and Keandre Ashley/Hoop Intellect.

The top 15 seem to be settling into place, but we do see some movement up the boards this month from Tre Johnson, Derik Queen and Jase Richardson after some real strong games to close out their respective team’s seasons.

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.

2/28 update: Updated big board from Sam Vecenie/The Athletic with lots of changes since early December, not surprisingly. Sam was probably the first strong supporter of Jase Richardson being a lottery pick which now seems close to a no-brainer–he’s at #11 on this month. We also see Isaiah Evans, Max Shulga, and Milos Uzan making appearances in his top 50.

---

We are back with a fresh big board comparison for February with new boards from No Ceilings, Keandre Ashley/Hoop Intellect, and Tankathon.

VJ Edgecombe is moving up a bit across the boards, jumping Kasparas Jakucionis, after his recent string of strong, two-way play. Carter Bryant, Thomas Sorber, and Danny Wolf have also moved up, while Nolan Traore, Egor Demin and Labaron Philon have dropped.

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.

Starting off the new year with an update of our big board comparison with four new boards to compare, including No Ceilings, Keandre Ashley/Hoop Intellect, Jeremy Woo and Jonathan Givony/ESPN and Tankathon.

Besides Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper there is little consensus across these boards. Jakucionis has moved up for most and Traore and Demin have moved down for some, but not for others. Knueppel is higher than McNeely on most boards, except for Hoop Intellect’s. Everyone’s in agreement on Jeremiah Fears moving into the #10-12 range. Noah Penda, Danny Wolf and Thomas Sorber seem to be moving up for most, but not for all. Interesting disagreement on Asa Newell and Derik Queen as well. Lots to digest and analyze, so enjoy!

12/15 update: New big board added from Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN. They moved Will Riley up to #12, haven’t lost faith in Nolan Traore (who they have at #5–above Demin and Jakucionis) and they added some interesting foreign names as well, including Johann Grunloh from Germany (at #35) and Sergio De Larrea from Spain (at #36).

---

We have four new big boards to compare for the month of December, including No Ceilings, Keandre Ashley/Hoop Intellect, Sam Vecenie/The Athletic and Tankathon.

Drake Powell and Nolan Traore seem to be dropping while Labaron Philon and Derik Queen are moving up most boards. Also, looks like Jase Richardson could soon be a fixture in the top 30. We’re also starting to see some interesting differences in opinion on the ceiling of Egor Demin after a poor performance against Providence last week.

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.

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.

We finally have enough 2025 big boards to compare–so lets get to it! There seems to be lots of agreement at the very top with Cooper Flagg, Dylan Harper, Ace Bailey, Nolan Traore and VJ Edgecombe. From there, lots of names to think through and start studying.
