When I wrote the first edition of my Big Board, the basketball season had barely started. There were a few European leagues that had tipped off but college basketball was still weeks away from tip off. The new data has greatly changed the picture of what my top-10 prospects look like.
For context, five players who featured in my last edition have been omitted entirely. The cuts were not an easy decision; I had thought long and hard about whether Ousmane Dieng and Jaden Hardy had a strong enough case to justify a top-10 ranking.
In the end, I could not find a reason to keep them amongst the cream of the crop.
