The Miami Heat took rookie big man, Precious Achiuwa, out of Memphis in this past NBA Draft. He has been a treat to watch and much of what was advertised coming into the league.

Though I would like him to be a little bit more aggressive offensively, as he has a ton of little tricks in his bag that he showed us at Memphis, he is coming along just fine. How does he stack up against his draft counterparts though?

Specifically, how does he stack up against the guys that were taken before him? Well, you’re in luck.

Today we will take a look at that. The first guy is used to being ranked high.

You’ll get the picture soon enough.

1. James Wiseman

Number two pick, James Wiseman is the best big man on this list. Not only is he the only one to be a consistent starter at any point for his team, but he has flat out been the best.

At 12.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 0.7 assists per game across 20 games played this season, he also offers the best statistical output of any of the guys here. That’s why he’s the number one guy.
