247 had them both at the same grade but have moved RJ off the list. They had Ian at 7. Pretty much the same with On3 from what I can figure. Around 10 for each.

So my thoughts (which I didn't have time to add when posting the list):
Tre Johnson is an interesting player, and if you think Ace Bailey is going to be a problem from a character/maturity standpoint (reasonable), Tre might be worth taking at 3.
McNeely has had pretty steady position in the teens and I think he will be a solid NBA player. I like Newell a lot also.
Kalk and Clayton Jr. are both great college players but their pro potential depends on them overcoming some of their limitations.
Kam Jones and Johni Broome are about where they should be. I had thought Peavy despite his age had NBA characteristics and it looks like the league agrees.
Grant Nelson might be a steal for someone - would not surprise me if he is about as productive as McNeely.
Hunter Sallis always looked like a pro to me but never quite got to where he should be; same for David Joplin.
Eric Dixon I just can't see in the NBA. Mark Sears is too short so same for him.
Brea should find a spot as a bench shooter.
Jamir Watkins and RJ are sort of the same guy - very athletic, great in college, unclear translation to NBA.
Nice to see Kadary at least on the top 100.
Samson Johnson? Seriously?
On Kadary Richmond's NBA Draft prospects
Richmond has been on Marks’ radar as an NBA prospect since before the New York City native transferred from Syracuse to Seton Hall in 2021. He foresees Richmond getting signed to a two-way free-agent contract after the second round, which means he would split time between an NBA squad and its G League affiliate.“He’s probably not going to get drafted, being an older prospect (he turns 24 in August) and the fact that his shooting hasn’t improved at all,” Marks said. “(Shooting) is the biggest thing holding him back. He’s super talented, impacts the game in every other way – other than shooting. He’s got great vision, he can play passing lanes, he can guard multiple positions, he’s an elite rebounder for his position. He’s got feel, size, strength, and can finish through contact. He’s not uber quick, but he knows how to get to his spots.”
