Maybe not the right board, but lots of 2022 NBA draft prospects putting in the work here.
It's streaming live on Youtube
USA plays Turkey at this hour. Chet Holmgren and Patrick Baldwin Jr. are amongst the starters.
Nikola Jovic and Nikola Djurisic are also on the Serbian roster. Victor Wenbanyama is in for France(2023 class).

Juan Nuñez is going to be another gem for Real Madrid a really special kid with an amazing talent and confidence probably the most talented kid with Luka in the history of Real Madrid youth teams. He debuted with the first team in the playoffs of the ACB at 16 this year

That kid Ivey put up a show for team USA. Had 4 dunks including a windmill and a handful of 3's. Was a pest with 4 steals, not just random steals, but all 4 of them was him picking up guys full court and snatching the ball while they were dribbling(resulted in 3 dunks).
Not sure what kind of prospect he is, he was a freshman this year at Purdue and looking at his stats he wasn't very efficient. But his shot looks good and he's a above average athlete.
Holmgren was ok, a true unicorn. 13/9/5/1/2 in just 20 minutes. A couple of real good drives and he hit 2 3's.
Baldwin underwhelming.

Yeah, Benedict Mathurin is also there.
And the son of Sarunas Marciulionis, Augustas is playing for Lithuania. He enrolled at St. Mary's and he'll play Division I ball next year.

Dyson Daniels from Aus who recently signed with the Ignite is legit as well. Has all the makings to be named tournament MVP IMO.
Very solid all around, even though it's against Mali. You can see the talent.
He's mocked as a top 20 guy in the draft in 2022 in most places.

Alperen Şengün iş reportedly going to join the Turkish team after the senior Olympic tournament is over.
Other than that Adem Bona is a interesting NBA prospect for Turkey as well. Can defend 1-5
Look at his speed
?s=19

He doesn't go to the Olympics if Turkey qualify?

Is Sengun actually expected to join this? I think he’d be better off focusing on the draft and working out for teams

Well, Turkey are out of the Olympics. I don't know if he'll fly all the way from Canada to Latvia to play tho', seems unlikely.

Tubelis and MArciulionis looked like crap against Senegal's athleticism and length today.

Marciulionis was pretty bad yesterday as well.
Ibou Dianko Badji from Barcelona is legit, 2 monster games in a row. Has 11 blocks in 2 games.
Also Wenbanyama with 22/10/2/1/6 against Spain.
Mathurin also had a great game after a terrible one yesteday. I really like his game.

He embarrassed himself with a breakaway windmill attempt.
I was laughing my ass off. Keep it simple big guy.

Chets a true unicorn. His height with that shot blocking and the way he moves down the court! Not to mention he can shoot the 3ball. Only flaw is hes so damn skinny.

Oumar Ballo is out of shape. Obviously still a handful in this event though.
Badji doing what he does well. Physical freak.
Wild that Turkey are so good in the frontcourt that they bring in 5* Bona off the bench. Their bigs killed us (Australia) in the 1st Q overnight, was the difference.
For us, Dyson Daniels has been excellent. As mentioned, he's signed with Ignite. Worth keeping an eye on Bayles, Gak and Galloway also on the Aus roster.
Wembenyama has been incredible. One of the best big prospects I've ever seen.
Mathurin and Prosper great for Canada. Got a few other notable guys too. US team has been solid, obviously some strong prospects there.
