Was the topic of an ESPN.com roundtable: http://www.espn.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/25189480/debating-nba-potential-duke-star-draft-prospects-zion-williamson-rj-barrett-cam-reddish
They all seemed to prefer Barrett for NBA success.
Thought this was the more interesting part of their discussion at this point:
Schmitz: KP, is there precedent for three projected top-five picks like this playing together? And will it help or hurt their draft stock?
Pelton: Although there's plenty of precedent for two top-five picks from the same school in the one-and-done era -- that happened as recently as 2014, when Kansas teammates Andrew Wiggins (No. 1) and Joel Embiid (No. 3) both went in the top three -- three such players would be new in recent history.
The closest comps would probably be Kentucky teams with a pair of top-five picks in 2010 (DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall) and 2012 (Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist) who had teammates drafted in the middle of the first round, or the 2005 North Carolina team that had two top-five picks (Marvin Williams and Raymond Felton) plus two more in the lottery (Sean May and Rashad McCants).
Given Kentucky's tendency to team several top draft prospects, I've taken a look at whether some sort of team adjustment would help their projections and found no consistent effect. While Duke's prospects will probably have suppressed usage, as Mike hinted would be an issue for Reddish, that should simultaneously benefit their efficiency. So I think it's only on the defensive glass where diminishing returns really show up when big men play together.

It's potentially going to be curtailed, the NBA is allowing HSers back in the Draft and doing it in such a way that 2022 will have both the one-and-dones and HS seniors from that year. DOUBLE DRAFT!

But is his frontal lobe fully developed? :thinking
The function of the frontal lobe involves the ability to project future consequences resulting from current actions. Frontal lobe functions also include override and suppression of socially unacceptable response as well as differentiation tasks.

Doesn't need to be, basketball isn't a serious thinking man's job like managing a taco bell or anything.
