Behind paywall, but the initial Pelton list is out. A reddit post has the top 10 at:
1) Wemby
2) Brandon Miller
3) Whitmore
4) Wallace
5)
6) Hendricks
7) George
8) Sensabaugh
9) Lively
10) Scoot
Last year Pelton had Kessler as a clear #1. Advanced stats this year has Kessler as the clear #1 rookie.
Assuming Kessler would be available at #20 (as Kessler was), the best Pelton available at #9 was Eason (Sochan second best). The #2 advance stat rookie this year is Eason.
Pelton biggest hits have been Kawhi, Jokic, Van Vleet.
Pelton has his share of misses (Primo #11 overall, Senjun best available at #11).
