Best Prospect games 2020-21
Obviously any prospect can look amazing when looking at highlights over the course of their entire season, but what are some games you saw this year where a prospect had it going all night? I'm less interested in the "this is the definitive Cade Cunningham/Evan Mobley game where they looked like future stars" games than ones where someone lower on most draft boards was having a top 5 pick type of performance.

For international guys:
-Sengun 22 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals, 2 blocks vs Tofas. Playoff game against a tough opponent, multiple clutch plays, really doing everything to get his team the win.
-Garuba 24 points, 12 boards vs Efes. Similarly, a big comeback win in a crucial playoff game with several clutch plays by Garuba on both ends of the court. Bonus points because Efes is arguably the toughest opponent any prospect faced this year.
-Prkacin 38 points, 10 boards, 2 assists vs KK Zadar. Only a regular season game, in contrast, but still an incredible scoring outburst against quality competition.
-Giddey 13 points, 6 boards, 12 assists vs Perth. Tempting to pick one of his triple doubles, but I think this was really his best game. One of his best passing games of the season against a very tough opponent, had his jumpshot dialed in, and showed off some nice ballhandling on drives as well.
-Jokubaitis 15 points, 3 assists, 3 steals vs Barca. It wasn't quite enough to get the win, but Rokas had one of his best games against the #2 team in Europe. Fantastic aggressiveness and skill on both ends of the court.
-Cazalon 23 points, 6 assists vs Partizan. Huge upset win that helped his team reach their first-ever Serbian League finals, an accomplishment that even Jokic couldn't achieve in his time with Mega. Showed off his full package of explosive finishing, deep range, and dazzling playmaking.
-Petrusev 22 points, 8 boards, 2 blocks vs Partizan. Same game as above, Petrusev had bigger scoring games but given the circumstances this was his most impressive outing in my opinion. 3/4 from deep including a couple of very timely triples in the second half and a key block to help maintain the lead late.
