I don't watch the NCAA, but I watch the hell out of Summer League and Pre-Season.... Curious for now, and to see how things turn out in a year or whatever.

Wemby
Jarace
Ant
Cason
The clear top 4 to me defensively. They are all advanced defensively for their age. Then a bunch of good defensive prospects like
Hendricks
Thompsons
Lively

After these guys go probably in the lottery, then it’s teams reaching for offensive guys from 15-28
Where it gets interesting for me is there should be good wing defenders at pick 31, which is exactly what we need. I like Livers, but his injuries are a concern. The next best defenders IMO are
Ryan Rupert
Oliver-Maxence Prosper
Andre Jackson
Sidy Cissoko
Julian Phillips
Jordan Walsh
I really like Ryan Rupert, Oliver-Maxence Prosper and Cissoko.
The other guys jump shots are too broken IMO. Andre Jackson would be a nice replacement for Hami.

I don't think anyone even had him on this list, and defense is supposed to be his "go-to"?
