After Green, who is the best pure 3-level scoring prospect?
I'm not saying best player, safest pick, etc.
Jaylen Green has Kobe like scoring potential (I said potential)...who is after him in this draft-in only that respect?
I don't see that in any of the other top 5+.

Re: After Green, who is the best pure 3-level scoring prospect?
My guess would be Bouknight...although there are questions about his 3pt% (and some injury explanations, etc)

Cam Thomas, and it's not close.

probably Cade or Suggs. Theyre just also very good passers

Interesting. There are a couple of people I know that are very high on Thomas. I've gotta watch more video on him.
I gotta go with Cade.

Overall I have some of the same problems with Cam that I have with Green, basically that he may end up being a very 1-dimensional scorer. But he's a ridiculously good scorer, and I'm surprised he's so underhyped.
He's just the 7th major-conference freshman to average over 22ppg:
-Young 27.4 ppg
-Beasley 26.2 ppg
-Durant 25.8 ppg
-Fultz 23.2 ppg
-Thomas 23.0 ppg
-Barrett 22.6 ppg
-Williamson 22.6 ppg
All the others were considered obvious top-3 picks. I get that Thomas's all-around game is particularly weak, but it wouldn't surprise me if a team takes a swing on his scoring upside in the lottery. Even against a very stout Michigan defense in the tourney he dropped an efficient 30 points. What more can you ask for from a scorer? Would be a great fit on the Knicks if he's still on the board at 19.

Re: After Green, who is the best pure 3-level scoring prospect?
if you're lookin for pure scoring it's probably has to be either Bouknight or Thomas at this point, though I am not a huge fan of either because both are missing a lot of the ancillary skills around scoring
dark horse for me would be a guy like BJ Boston, but he's got a much lower floor than a lot of the players mentioned already.

Green, Kuminga, Johnson, Bouknight and Dosunmu are the 3 level scorers imo. Some others are close too like Cade, Thomas and Suggs to varying extents.

Re: After Green, who is the best pure 3-level scoring prospect?
Confused as to why people are so sold on Bouknight as a scorer. If not for that one 40-point game, would he even be on the draft radar? The rest of his season was pretty "meh," and his track record prior to this season never suggested any NBA potential. Plus he has injury issues. What if that game was just a fluke?
EDIT: *And* he's older than I thought, turning 21 this summer. Make it make sense.

Re: After Green, who is the best pure 3-level scoring prospect?
I'm assuming you also are excluding Cade?
I'd say Suggs, then Bouk and Keon

Tre Mann might surprise a few. I call him mini Shai

If Abmas was 6”2” and actually wasn’t micro height then him by a mile.

Mann is absolutely a 3 level scorer. His issue is going to be can he defend NBA level athletes. I'm not sure.

Not sure I'd consider Bouknight a 3 level scorer, considering he shot significantly below average from 1 of the 3 levels (3 point range)
Wieskamp has to be in the conversation, though..

Cade
Bouknight
Cam Thomas
Kuminga
I think Mobley deserves a mention too

Re: After Green, who is the best pure 3-level scoring prospect?
Cam Thomas and Cade Cunningham seem like the obvious choices.
I am going to throw out another couple I think may wind up in Jaden Springer and Jared Butler.
