Ignorance is a bliss. Basketball is never that black and white.
This table is basically trying to find college forwards who do a little bit of everything — score efficiently, rebound, defend, and still fit a modern offense. The filters are tough on purpose, so most one-dimensional players get weeded out. What’s left are guys who can defend multiple positions, create extra possessions with steals and rebounds, finish at the rim, and still take enough threes to keep the floor spaced. That’s why the names feel familiar: this is the same kind of profile you see in successful NBA role forwards. The exact ranking isn’t the point — just showing up on this list is. It suggests these players impact winning in ways that tend to translate beyond college, not just rack up stats.

Neo is a 1st rounder almost guaranteed, nobody else is getting drafted
