2015 NBA Draft Rankings: April 3rd

 


With only the Final 4 left to play, D'Angelo Russell continues to hold down my #1 spot.  However, two players that are still playing are close on his heels, and one of them probably isn't who you might think.  Karl Anthony-Towns is still my top big man, but Justise Winslow of Duke has made a late run to get into the conversation for my hypothetical #1 draft pick.  His aggression, toughness, and domination on both ends of the floor have taken him toward the top of the list, and he may be the college player most ready to make a big contribution in the NBA right away.
