Here is my top-10 big board at the moment with high end outcome player comparisons.
It wouldn't surprise me.
I think there is huge amount of certainty about what Flagg's floor is and the floor is incredibly high... And it's accompanied with really high ceiling too. I don't think you can turn that down. Just think about what you would offer to move to 1 if you got no. 3 this year? Would you offer next year's 1st? What about both MIN picks? What about both CLE picks? What about the PHX pick? Where would you stop? I think I would offer obscene quantity and quality of pick for the relative certainty that Flagg is.
I take Flagg and no. 8. No questions asked. And then I bet it would be much easier to move from 8 to 3 next year than it is to move from any pick to 1 this year.
Moving to both slots would be nearly impossible

Not even an NBA player.
Can't shoot, zero athleticism, won't defend, undersized for what he is. 6'10''? Don't make me laugh. Try 6'8''.
I suck at comps, so I think you are brave to include them. I like most of them, but I don't see the Derrick White comp for Jase or the Cason Wallace comp for VJ.
Jase was one of the harder ones. As far as VJ I could see his lower end outcome being a Cason Wallace type of player. Him and Tre I put a lower end outcome along with a really high end one.
Ok, yeah I could see a low end outcome for VJ as a 3&D guard. I don't think he is nearly as good of an on ball defender as Cason is/was, but I can see what you are getting at. He's obviously much more athletic than Cason.

Does homeboy Richie Sanders bubble up to be a late first round/2nd round pick? He;s older but can shoot and make.
Yes, comps are so hard because every single player is different in their own ways.
Embiid has 40 pounds and 2 inches on Queen. He’s also better at defense but that’s who Queen reminds me of offensively.
Also, Cy’s question is interesting but the logical choice is Flagg and whoever next year.
I think a harder question would be you get Harper this year and a top-3 pick next year or Flagg and like the 6th pick next year.

You have to take FLagg. He is a known commodity. I have no idea how Boozer, Dybansta, or Peterson are going to perform. There were questions about how Flagg was going to handle it. He struggled with his shooting at the beginning of the year but is coming on so strong.
I mean those 3 look amazing but who really knows? Case in point Emoni Bates was pegged as the best prospect since Labron and look what happened to him.
Actually here is a shot list of players that flamed out in college but where big-time recruits
Josh Shelby
BJ Mullens
Austin Rivers
Skal Labissiere
Ater majok
Fab Melo
Harry Giles
Tony Parker
Harrison Twins
Anyway, the list goes on and on when you look at the top 10 highschool students that didn't make it in college. With the influx on European players looking for NIL money the game is going to get harder and harder.

I get your point but this list doesn't make sense.
I don't think anyone you listed was a #1 ranked recruit and none of them had that much NBA buzz, at least in terms of being thought of as surefire top 3.
Wiggins/Parker are better examples.
The Queen love has gone crazy. The guy schooled Rutgers when Bailey had the flu but like I said then I don't know how he's going to translate to the NBA. I've seen him go as high as 5th which is crazy.
Earlier in the season I had Flagg at 1 and Bailey at 2 however during the 2nd half of the season Bailey didn't play as well I would have liked and Harper looked better; plus we need a SG and so Harper makes way more sense. If we don't get Flagg Harper is a very nice 2nd prize.
I wouldn't be shocked if we traded the Wolves pick or used it to stash Essengue or Traore.

5th is fine for Queen if you think you can run your offense through him.
Not like anyone after the top 2 are locks to be anything.

Wow, he really really believes in Beringer.
As do I, but I can't put a limited rim runner that high.
This is ****ing garbage.
