Is this limited to only these players? Or all high school players?

Thon Maker is my pick in any high school comparison thread. That dude has scary potential.

Star potential as in all star level player? I personally think Jaylen Brown, Malik Newman, Stepehn Zimmerman, Thon Maker, Harry Giles would be my top 5 choices

Had to look this guy up to see if he was related to John Bagley. That would have been awesome if Bags had a son that was the next big thing.

:lol:

I'm going to have a petition made to change 'middle-age' to just plain 'medium.' Ie, not old or young, but just 'medium.'

Good story on Bagley, though, hadn't heard of him.

Thon Maker. Big men with such a nice skill set don't come around that often. When he fully grows into that tall frame of his, he could be scary.

he's not the freak that ayton is, but he's damn athletic for his age and size and he's more skilled.
his skill set is phenomenal for his age. already has an inside outside game, can handle the ball in space. flashes a good feel for the game with his passing and defensive instincts. plays with a good motor. nice touch on his jumper from mid to long 2 range. quick leaper and good awareness defensively.
he has the size, the athleticism, the pedigree (grandfather was #2 pick in the draft, father was a pro football player). appears to be a smart kid with a good head on his shoulders and has a good support system too.

ej montgomery is the other one from that class with a ton of potential, but he's not as athletic and does not have the inside game to complement his perimeter game. looks like he wants to be a 6'10 SG.

Ivan Rabb and its not close IMO. Guys with his "package" that have advanced BTTB scoring ability are suuuuuuuuuuuuper rare these days.

I heard some story few years ago of some kid Agosto Jayshon (or something similar)... He is some bb prodigy. Does anybody know something about him ? Is he on his way to Nba or what ?

he's still tiny as hell. solid floor general though, he just has poor size.
