- At 6'6 with a 7'1 wingspan + active and strong hands, Moses Moody has a case to be the best disruptor and defensive event creator in the class. Showed those traits in the win vs Texas Tech
00:00 - Freshman big Jaylin Williams was impactful despite scoring just a single point. Grabbed 10 rebounds and dished out 4 beautiful assists. Short roll, FT line finds to backdoor cutters and the touch on the baseball outlet pass. Skilled big with a bright future
00:00 - Another eye-popping performance from Wake’s Alondes Williams (34PTS-8REB-7AST). Multiple OTD jumpers & explosive rim finishes. Feel & poise shined all game, especially late. Legit shot creator & maker w/ playmaking upside. Should hear more buzz in ACC play. Stock is certainly up
00:00 - Coleman Hawkins ended the season displaying his intrigue as a skilled 6’10 & 225 pound big. From his footwork, touch, projectable shooting, passing vision & eye manipulation, he clearly has the upside to be an impactful NBA player for a long time. Consistency is the next step
00:00 - Josh Oduro might be the best post scorer in the country. Ranked in the 81st percentile on post ups (via Synergy) while leading the A-10 in scoring at 17.7ppg. Does it w/ clean footwork, craft, counters, patience, & touch w/ both hands. As his game modernizes, his stock will rise
00:00 - Alondes Williams is already the king of skip passes and he's furthering his case as the best live dribble passer in the class
00:00 - With guards Malachi Smith and Kobe Elvis out, Mike Sharavjamts is finding success operating as Dayton’s PG. Tied a career high 8 asts for his third time in four games. Feel, pacing and connective passing stood out. Multiple hit ahead passes + PNR and live dribble reads
00:00 - DaRon Holmes II’s fluidity and comfort as a ball handler from the 5 spot will be an important weapon for him at the NBA level. Tough off hand rim finish after beating Ballo
00:00 - Jeremy Roach really punished PNR switches against Texas Tech. He created plenty of paint touches out of PNRs and on his own to either score or find a teammate. Hit tough shots at key moments. He's responded to the late season bench move and is thriving as a starter in March
00:00 - Tevin Brown w/ 22PTS 7REB 4AST & 6-13 3PA in a wild win vs Memphis. Shooting & shot making magic all game from relocations, catch and shoots, OTD + off ball screen navigation. Active defensively & competed against a tough matchup in Bates. Brown has easily been a NBA talent
00:00 - Kaiden Rice is making an early case to be a PIT invite and someone scouts should be tracking as a potential 3pt specialist. Super quick release, shooting versatility & range w/ a shooter’s mentality. 42% 3pt mark on 9 3PA per game (5 G). 92 3pt makes last year-6th in the nation
00:00 - Getting eyes on potential All American and 2024 1st round pick, DaRon Holmes II. Averaging 20pts, 8rebs, 2.5asts and 3 stocks per game while shooting 36% from three
- Often didn't result in assists, but Josh Primo flashed budding playmaking skills throughout the year and at the combine. Brings added potential value as a tall secondary playmaker. Given his age, size and ball skills, it's worth letting him grow as a primary in the G-League first
