As tier breakdowns and a variety of “pool” boards continue to circulate the NBA Draft evaluation world, the following is a tier breakdown heavily based off the June Edition Big Board set to drop on June 1st. Horizontal charts with differentiated archetypes bring about an interesting conversation that has built popularity, but I largely view this as an over-analyzation because a traditional big board should accurately portray how an evaluator weighs the value of a particular archetype. I’ve preached the difficulty of pegging a variety of prospects in the same territory, thus a tier breakdown should accurately portray my current take on the 2021 NBA Draft field.
