#3 Brandon Boston

Brandon Boston played with Bronny James in high school at Sierra Canyon. He will play for Kentucky in his collegiate career and is a top prospect for the NBA Draft 2021.

Boston is a 6' 7'' guard who can score with efficiency and could be a facilitator in the NBA. He does not have a built body, but his game is impactful on the basketball court because he is a solid scorer and has great range.

Boston is a skinny athlete, and that is an area to address in his year at Kentucky. Nevertheless, his progress has been great so far and he remains a top prospect for the NBA Draft 2021.

He should be the team leader for Kentucky in the 2020-21 season of collegiate basketball.

He is an extremely athletic guard who can score with efficiency and explosiveness. Green is a 6' 5'' guard who needs to improve his playmaking abilities. His shooting and defensive abilities should improve as he develops his game.

Green is likely to be a Top-3 pick in the NBA Draft 2021, and his path will certainly be interesting.

Green's potential could enhance the recognition of the NBA's developmental system. If he remains a top prospect for the NBA Draft 2021 and plays well in the NBA, his path could be followed by many prospects in the future.

Cunningham should remain the consensus No. 1 pick when the NBA Draft 2021 comes. He is a 6' 7'' point guard who is strong and can control an offense.

Cunningham has great passing ability and is a smart player who will compete for Oklahoma State. His progress to the NBA should be smooth as his playing style looks well-suited for the league.

Being the top-rated athlete in the projected NBA Draft 2021 class means a lot since the pool of players who will be eligible to enter the NBA Draft 2021 is big.

Cunningham surely seems like a player with high potential and is someone who could become a transcendent talent in the league.
