For a while I thought Ace was out of reach but maybe not so much. I think I’m going to need to watch some of his games.

Coward or Byrd. Yaxel, Traore, Newell, Sorber, and Fleming all seem fine as well though I have to watch them more. Would cringe and not be super happy but not care that much if it's Powell or Egor.
Kyle Filipowski and Derik Queen’s freshman year statistical profiles are extremely similar.
Per 40 mins:
Filipowski - 20.7 PPG, 12.3 RPG, 2.1 APG, 1.8 SPG, 1 BPG, 44/28/78 splits with a 11.4 AST%.
Queen - 21.7 PPG, 11.8 RPG, 2.5 APG, 1.4 SPG, 1.4 BPG, 53/20/77 splits with a 11.6 AST%.
Filipowski, despite returning for his sophomore year and just finishing his rookie NBA season is only 13 months older than Queen.
I think Queen is the better prospect but by how much? I’m not sure it’s a lot.

For me, it's either an athletic wing or an athletic big. This draft should have some decent bigs still at #21: Sorber, Raynaud, Beringer, Fleming, etc. Penda and maybe Thiero are worth a look at the wing. The Jazz reportedly liked Coward too. If Traore slips that far, he's worth a serious look, imo.
Jazz should be able to get a good player.
The separator right now is Flip's 3pt shooting. Queen has a better mid-post game, but I'm not sure how much that will play in the NBA. I see you're comparing Freshman years though.
I dont think he is Key.... but I also think if Key was 6'6 and hit 40% of his 3s with the same difficulty Tre does I'd say the tone about him here would be a bit different.
Tre does have some similarities to Key that also go beyond their game... He sometimes gets very visibly frustrated when he is open and doesnt get the ball.. which is something that people are gonna freak about and hate initially. Same kind of hand gestures and bad body language. I dont actually count that as a major flaw of Key even though it annoys the viewer. It just tells me he isnt happy being a wallflower and since he is young his emotions overflow at times.
