2016 NBA Draft Rankings: Draft Board Taking Form Heading Into February

Once February rolls around you really start to get a feel for who's going to be good enough to make the leap to the NBA next season.  Some players will be able to make a late climb in the rankings with big performances, while others who decide to jump prematurely will offer some big-time gambles for NBA GM's, but for the most part the picture is getting pretty clear.

Buddy Hield has nearly locked up the Player of the Year award with plenty of time left in the season, and while he almost surely won't be considered for the #1 draft pick, he's proven he will be a force at the next level.  Providence's Ben Bentil has made the biggest jump of late, using a powerful and  versatile skill-set to reach #7.
