it's still early obviously, but I'm sticking to it until proven otherwise.

if nothing else the value of the combination of effort and elite athleticism gets severely undervalued. form looks good. negatives all look like things that can be ironed out. Did Scottie not have bigger schools coming after him? or was/has Florida always been on his radar? Any idea on the rest of the talent around him and how good they are?

he had offers from Duke, UK and Villanova too but chose Florida not sure why

I’m a big fan of your posts and I know you love Lewis but he hasn’t done anywhere near enough at this stage to be in the conversation for pick 1. Obviously that could change in college as he has great tools and competes harder than most players, but that hasn’t translated into him being a bonafide number 1 prospect at this stage.

gotta respect that man for giving that hot take early. All credit to Clyde if it pans out. We have great analyst here so i'm tuned in.

Oh yeah, I like Lewis and will definitely be keeping a close eye on him, but to say he’s definitely the best player in the class right now is a bit reckless.

what makes Wiseman a better #1 pick right now?

I don't even think of Wiseman as a #1 pick, but if the two are comparable and Wiseman's over a year younger, that's a pretty good tiebreaker right there.

if it's about age then I'd go Edwards over Wiseman

Yeah, that's the point lol. There are players much younger than Lewis who have much better perimeter skills and will close the athleticism gap even more as they mature and the 1+ year age difference makes less of a difference.

yea Lewis is on the older side that's a minus, but I dont see antman closing the gap defensively on him, and I think Lewis ball skills are being underrated...but again still super early we'll see

as for Wiseman, he seems like a worse version of Ayton to me...still a good prospect but I'm not buying top 3 yet
