The top names on NBA draft boards have scouts excited over the strength of this year's projected field.

Landing an early pick in 2018 could pay off big for tanking teams that need a franchise player to build around. Already we've seen a few potential stars who look capable of filling that void.

But we're also starting to see the inevitable, unpredictable breakouts (Florida's Jalen Hudson) and surprise impact freshmen (Oklahoma's Trae Young). These are the types of prospects who can add depth to a class.

The draft order is based on the standings as of November 6.
