Hella of a showing, but Cameron Boozer still got the win.

efficiency was the same - both shot 23 times, and they scored 42 and 43 points. the difference - Dybantsa was just as prolific and efficient while clearly playing against tougher competition and without the support.

advantage dybantsa, but it's close.

Part of me is half tempted to completely ignore the 2025 draft in favor of watching all these 2026 kids lol. This is an exciting 4 year stretch: Wemby, AJ, Cameron Boozer, Flagg ... more will emerge, too. I'm sure even 2024 will produce some really exciting players even if the draft was comparatively poor to 2023 and what 2025 & 2026 project to be.

I'm even starting to like Cayden. He looks solid from what I've seen, but weird he so much smaller than his brother.

These are prime Paul George moves from a 17 y.o.

He’s special man. It’s simple analysis but some of the shots he was hitting last night…

I think he might only be a slightly worse prospect than Lebron and Wemby in the past 30 years and right there with AD and ahead of KD. This type of size, skill, athleticism and motor are just so rare. Flagg is right there but Dybantsa is even taller, longer and more athletic. It's just nuts man. The league is in really good hands with the young talent coming in.

It obviously remains to be seen if he enters the draft as one of the best prospects of the last two decades but I agree that he has a good chance to be talked about in the same breath as AD, Zion, Luka and Victor (to list just the absolute top prospects off the top of my head during my time following the NBA).

He has a wide frame, looks like he could pack on a lot of muscle as he gets older

I love Flagg but he seems more of a super elite glue guy / do it all.

AJ looks like if T-Mac wasnt constantly falling asleep at the wheel. This kid is going to be wildly good. Its insane to have 2 prospects in 4 years be clear cut generational guys (Wemby + AJ) with another on the bubble (Flagg).

People need to chilll it with the best since Lebron/Wemby thing.

His skillset ceiling is basically a Jayson Tatum. We call Paolo the bigger tatum, Boozer the more talented bigger Tatum, Cooper the defensive Tatum. Is AJ the more athletic and talented Tatum?

You know what these kids have in common, non-unicorn size/skill combo and a lack of PG skills.

No one is Lebron until we get a LeBron sized PG again.

The closest guy was Luke and majority of this board, and 95% of the media missed out on him.

Man look I dont mean this in disrespect against the kid, I know he is good, but I could show you A LOT of highlight clips of high school kids hitting 3 off the dribble jumpers. The hype with these kids is so wild. Every year we have a new "best prospect since LeBron". This year we even have 2!

Wait until he plays against proper opposition before starting the hyperboles

He's way more athletic than Tatum. Tatum couldn't dunk from the FT line in his wildest dreams. This kid is for real.

Yes athletic Tatum. Tatum rolled like a top quarter in development and a top 10% in team environment. In an average development case, what kind of player is an athletic Tatum? Sure as hell isn't a top 5 NBA player, borderline MVP case.

He's really slow laterally and has problems turning the corner off the bounce.. even on H.S. kids.. he's a vertical athlete and has solid length, along with a lights out J.. but he looks like the bad kind of tweener in the current NBA.. slim dude who cant defend outside due to lack of footspeed, or at the rim due to his frame and can only shoot contested J's on the other end.

He looks more like a Trey Murphy than a TMac imo.. who had incredible speed and agility at 6'9.

sounds like somebody who saw him play for the first time the other night. he didn't turn the corner off the bounce in that game, but that simply hasn't been a problem for him throughout his entire HS career. his footspeed is fine. limited to shooting contested j's on offense - that's honestly pretty hilarious. yeah, apparently that game was your first and only.
