I had omitted the CBS Sports Big Board because they hadn't updated it in a while. They just updated it and they bumped Obi up to 5th:

All-American Obi Toppin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[T-Bone 84]

Obi has a chance to be drafted higher than anyone since Jim Paxson, who was the 12th pick in 1979. Beyond Paxson, the highest UD pick ever was John Horan, who was the 6th overall pick in 1955, by the Fort Wayne Pistons. If Obi simply continues to be “Obi”, both he and the team could rise historic heights.

Inthink 6th to 10th or 12 is NOT unreasonable.

He has great court awareness and proper assertiveness
