The 2nd edition of the 2016 NBA Draft Rankings looks a lot like the first. Things stayed mostly the same up top, but several highly-recruited freshmen are improving quickly and looking to climb the ladder. Michigan State's Denzel Valentine is without question the Player of the Year at this point in the season.
