After deep diving into 20 prospects so far, we now get the chance to rack and stack them. This is not necessarily a true Top 20, but instead us reviewing our 20 players we've reviewed so far, and ranking them against one another.

It's a pretty tough job, so we got the legendary founder of the No Ceilings Hoop Collective Tyler Rucker to help us out!

Here's the players in the order we reviewed them:

Recommendations:

Tyler - The classic film "Heat" by Michael Mann, starring Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, and the late Val Kilmer.

"The Franchise" a book on the Detroit Pistons, by Cameron Stauth.

Noah - The book "Thinking Basketball" by Ben Taylor. Yes, there's the Youtube channel and the Podcast, but this is specifically the book, which is a very thought provoking analytics read.

Jeffrey - "The Fifties," "The Best and Brightest," "Playing for Keeps," and pretty much anything by David Halberstam.
