Adrian Wooley is a 1st Round Talent

[BigGargamel]

Maybe not--he's still a first round talent.

If you need someone to spoonfeed nba scouting to you, that's perfectly understandable.

Dang, you're cool. Another draft expert stuck posting on RealGM. No one cares about this guy but you.

We all have been talking about it and we are impressed by you

I didn't mean to sound condescending, and I obviously offended you so I'm sorry.

I'm just saying, the history of very low ranked prospects going to a small school and going nuts doesn't really impress NBA scouts. I look forward to seeing what this guy will do once he transfers after this year. He should have his pick of pretty much any team. If he can show he belongs then everyone will take notice.

[BigGargamel]

As expected, he entered the portal. 24/7 doesn't have a crystal ball for him yet, but they currently have him ranked as the third best transfer. Interested to see where he ends up.

This kid is a problem. Both him and Brown Jr. are potential lotto next year

[EvanZ]

He’s on my radar. I think he’s one of the top 10 transfer portal prospects.

And so it goes.

Wooley should be deadly at Louisville and end up a lotto pick in 2026.



As an elite level slasher, he now goes from playing on a Kennesaw State team that ranked 336th out of 364 college teams in team 3pt% (Wooley, of course, was the best shooter on the team at 42% from 3) to a Louisville squad playing alongside Ryan Conwell (41% volume 3 pt shooter in college) and Mikel Brown (one of the top shooters in HS).

Additionally, he will go from playing on a Kennesaw State team with no big men finishers (no starter taller than 6'8; no one with more than 23 dunks on the season) to playing with a finisher like James Scott (6'10 big with 79 dunks on the season).

Wooley will make his NBA talent clear by continuing to thrive as one of the best inside-outside scorers in the nation and pair that with even more playmaking than most expect.

Playing alongside (and potentially outplaying) a top 10 freshman--Mikel Brown--will make it all the more apparent. Interestingly, Wooley and Brown are only a few months apart in age.

It's obviously a cool story and people are trying to stake claim in this kid however I will believe it when I see it. The list is 20 fold of players transferring to high major that have done anything vs the opposite.

Look at someone like Mahaney on UCONN. Supposed to come in and immediately be the best shooter in the Big East and can't even get PT by the end of the season...

[JMAC3]

I do agree this might have been an odd choice for him to transfer to Louisville where he could very likely be the 3rd banana on a team that might be viewed average at best. Mikel Brown is probably a lottery pick, chances Louisville is a team that has two top 25 picks?

Being honest, I was never a Mahaney guy. Didn't get the hype with him. But I think we're overlooking the obvious here. There's a **** ton of NIL dollars and teams are bidding on these guys. I assume Louisville offered Wooley a lot of cash to come over. The NCAA is now a marketplace for talent not just a showcase for future NBA stars.

[greg4012]

Mahaney was a mid player with a one-dimensional skillset that went to UConn and continued to have the same one-dimensional skillset but got less minutes bc other better players also had that skillset plus more. He literally produced at the same rate at UConn, just with less total minutes/usage. Mahaney has nothing in common with Wooley.

[JMAC3]

Louisville just added another really good guard to mix in McNeely.

Wasn't Malik Mack getting some hype as an NBA player last year playing for Harvard? He went to Georgetown and had a solid year but his scoring average went from 17 to 13 ppg with the jump in competition. I think that is the most likely case for Wooley, probably ends up a pro eventually but think we are probably overrating his production at Kennessaw.
