Good thread.

DP is the best DRose but with a 3 ball.

Ament and Yess are my guys though. Think they both have superstar potential and mentality.

I miss our old player thread lists....

Thanks, I fixed it.

Yess is my guy. Think he will be the best player after DP. Legit Ant man with better D and higher IQ.

I’m high on Patrick Ngongba Soph of Duke
- elite length 6’11 7’4 wingspan
- elite hands on D for blocks deflections
- elite passer as PNR hub
- elite IQ on both ends with great anticipation
- strong rim protector with great timing on blocks
- excellent with pump fakes for fouls and easy shots
- 72% FT Shooter with soft touch
- only question is his feet in PNR. Only thing you can’t get a full read on
- Doesn’t shoot but attacks the rim off the dribble

Think he’s way better than Malauch. Tick below Beringer on D as he doesn’t have the elite athleticism. Hes very good on offense in a limited role.

Anyone have any thoughts about Xaivian Lee?

He's getting first round hype. I personally don't see it

Scotty Pippen Jr type.

Backup PG that plays the right way.

Hes going to surprise alot of ppl. Exceptional handle makes good reads very good operator off the pick and roll great at creating space off the dribble to score or create for teammate. Versatile 3 level scorer. Surprisingly good finisher thru contact. Good size for pg 6'4(in shoes).

He will need to get stronger to adjust playing with the physicality in the most talented conference in ncaa. It looks like florida will play boogie at the point so it will be interesting to see how he adjusts playing off the ball. If bennett stiriz is getting 1st rd lock considerations lee should be a 1st rounder.

Whoa. Ament has put on some muscle and that shot looks elite.

Word is Mikel Brown has grown. 6’5 in shoes.
