Time for another weekly update!
Pokuokic I was just coming around to Malovec!!
It seems like a bit of an interesting point in the season, some of the top prospects are hitting a bit of a lull (except for Hansen Yang, who had a stellar performance in a double OT win this Saturday) and some youth standouts are slowly but finally starting to work their ways into their teams rotations, like Alexandros Samodurov and Ruben Prey.
It could just be an extremely hot take and I think my rankings do reflect a lack of confidence in the degree of this next statement, but: I think I might take the French LNB Pro B's top 3 prospects over the Betclic Elite's, or at the very least the Betclic's 2-4.
Malwaya is quickly blossoming into arguably the Pro B's best player, though we'll see if he can remain consistent enough to hold onto that distinction. Noah Penda seems to me to have every bit the versatility, energy, and defensive capability to draw comparisons to NBA players like Draymond Green and Jeremy Sochan (RealGM has Penda listed at 6'4" but I believe he is listed as 6'7" now elsewhere). I think Kamardine has started to show a steady prototypical PG skillset, complete with ever more proven "3 and D" fundamentals that are so in-demand. He could be a future starter in the NBA.
However, I'd like to see all of them continue to show growth or even maintain the starts they've had.
