I'm stealing TRKO's idea here but it be interesting to see everyone's opinions on different categories.
Best Player- Towns, may be biased, but he has all the tools to be a game changing, 5-Tool Center, which is not very common
Most Upside- Porzingas, Athletic Ability + Length + Shooting makes him the perfect 4 for today's game. I've been high on Porzingas since last year's draft as I think he is very similar to LaVine in the boom or bust type of way.
Best Fit- Towns- fits our teams weaknesses to a T
Safest- Okafor, you pretty much know what you're getting. An offensive cornerstone who will put up 25 and 10 in his prime
Overrated- WCS, I just don't know if he can defensively guard 5s and he sure as hell can't be a 4 on offense
Underrated- Myles Turner. I think he is the perfect Stretch 5 who provides shooting and rim protection

I don't know that I disagree with any of your choices, northern, except I don't know enough about Turner to have him as most underrated, and I don't know if I concur with Okafor as safest. I think I have Towns as safest, and at least until his late surge the past 24 hours, Porzingis as most underrated.
I would add another category:
Biggest question mark with potential huge upside: Mudiay

I've always considered myself a very perceptive guy...clearly could have carved out a great career as a detective. And I think I may have detected something.
I think Cam may think Karl Anthony Towns is a good player.
