2016 NBA Draft Rankings: 3rd Edition

Oklahoma's Buddy Hield made the biggest leap in the 3rd edition of the 2016 NBA Draft Rankings, climbing nine spots up to #2.  Hield's domination of college basketball has nearly cemented him as a 1st-Team All-American, and for me it's he, Ben Simmons, Denzel Valentine, and Iowa's Jarrod Uthoff as the current front-runners in the Player of the Year race.
