Sam Vecenie has posted his early pre-season big board:

Dunn is pretty high I think, but who knows... he might be the best PG in this class and if a team needs a PG early in the draft, he might indeed go that high.
This list is close to being good(I guess).. I take issue with where some of the international players are ranked.
Egemen Guven's way too high, and
Ivica Zubac's way too low those are my biggest gripes. Zubac at worst, is a top tier 2nd round pick.

Here's a few other things that caught my eye.
-
Ingram at #6 is way too low IMO.
-I like
Poythress a lot, I couldn't put him over
Guerschon Yabusele at this point though. Not if their playing PF. Similarly sized, Yabusele is over 2 years younger, he's probably got better ball skills and his jumper is pretty good. Will be interesting to see how he measures out, If its close to Montrezl Harrell I could see someone using a 1st round pick on him.
-
Lauri Markannen (#76) has no business on this list. He'd be much higher but he
won't be in this draft. There'd be a 0% chance he'd go undrafted if he declared this year.
- Once you get past the top-20 players, the list of remaining C's is really pretty far off.
Brimah,
Tarcewzki,
Wang Zhelin,
AJ Hammons,
Rico Gathers,
Shawn Long are all overrated, I hate to call out
Cameron Ridley for being overrated in the 120's but that's what I'm doing. I'd gamble on 7'6"
Mamadou N'Diaye before some of those names.
- Can't have so many overrated C's without having underrated ones:
Georgios Papagiannis #92,
Anzejs Pasecniks #108,
Emircan Kosut #121,
Ante Zizic #97,
Isaac Haas #128,
Dusan Ristic #140
-
Edin Atic #117 is criminally underrated.
Wade Baldwin #136 too, he's a considerably better PG prospect than
Frank Mason #116 (and
Gary Payton II #74)
-
Aleksa Ilic at #126 is questionable, I haven't seen enough of him to have a strong feeling on this, enough to mention it though. I suspect this is too low. He's very, very athletic much more so than the other players in tier 8.
-
Damion Lee #137 is too low, even though he will almost be 24 by the draft, I guess this is nitpicking, I just don't think he should be that far outside of the top-100.
-
Jonah Bolden #116 is way too low, especially if he's 6'10" as listed.
-
Isaia Coordiner #94 is at least 1 tier too low.
-
Georges Niang #78 over
Paul Zipser #82 is crazy-talk. I tried to tell Jazzfanz last year that Zipser was draftable.. After this eurobasket he's now 37th on DX's 2016 mock.
- Even though WCS absolutely posterized him last year,
Devin Robinson at #63 is just too low, he's closer to a 1st rounder than a bottom of the 2nd round player.
- I like that he put
James Blackmon at #49. With the premium there is for 3pt shooters, that's probably spot on. Same for
Vasillis Charlampopolous at #23.
-
Ivan Rabb,
Dwayne Bacon and
Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk are all underrated at #25, #32 and #34 respectively. #65 is too low for
Theo Pinson too.
-
Yogi Farrell #38... are you kidding me?!
