Seems like a lot of good upperclassman candidates.

That's worth taking #2, in my opinion. His size, athleticism, scoring skills convince me that his upside is so much higher than his contemporaries in this class, possibly even Flagg's.

There's next to zero chance of this happening, but it certainly would be a laughing and crying at the same time development. Mik's post would be an all-timer.

He's a freshman putting up great numbers. Might be a little undersized and is not current a threat as an outside shooter, but the upside is definitely there. I would 1000% take him over Malauch who is mocked at 7 right now.

isn't he like 6'10 with crazy long arms?
that makes up for any lack of height, no?

Watched some VJ Edgecombe as well and I'm not exactly sure I see high end ball dominant scoring upside with how he navigates the half court. Oladipo has been thrown around as a comparable which I could definitely see. Just a superior athlete that uses stop-start acceleration to win. Flashes the ability to make upper level reads off the dribble which is encouraging. Allegedly a freak on the defensive end as well. Seems like a target for pick 5 or 6.
Queen though has me blown away. His feel for the game is special.
The commentator might say it in this video, he just makes the game look easy which is one of the simplest benchmarks of high IQ basketball players.
I’ve also been high on Queen. His upside largely depends on his ability to shoot from the perimeter and transition into a four, playing alongside a big who can anchor the defense. Otherwise, we’re looking at a scoring version of Donatas Sabonis.
