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.

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.
