A lot of the focus is on the Freshman class (more so than usual) and rightfully so. So I thought a separate thread for Upperclassmen (Juniors and Seniors), as we have had before on this board, might create more discussion.
Which Upperclassmen do you have as (potential) FRPs? Who do you see having a nice NBA career?
My focus right now is primarily on Adou Thiero, Kam Jones, Johnny Broome and Darrion Williams. Especially the latter is not talked about enough as a potential FRP (at least from what I noticed). Anyone else who you are somewhat excited about?

Re: Upperclassmen Watch 2025
i'll throw in Otega Oweh's name, made a thread about him last year and still like him
and just to throw a random name out there, because no one talks about this guy for some reason I don't understand why, but Daniel Batcho. not as a first rounder but a watchlist guy for me.

I think he's a really fun college player. Could see him latching on in the NBA as a bench guy, but it is always possible there is more there.

Re: Upperclassmen Watch 2025
I think a few guys might sneak into the first round and several more may get drafted. There were far more quality upper-classmen in last year's draft for obvious reasons
Thiero
Wolf
Watkins
Karaban
Bilodeau
Grant-Foster
Nelson
Broome

Re: Upperclassmen Watch 2025
Grant Foster should have come out last year. He's about to be 25 and is having a miserable offensive season.

Re: Upperclassmen Watch 2025
Derrion Williams, Xaivian Lee, Donovan Dent are 3 of the most fun upperclassmen to watch. All 3 should get a cup of coffee in the NBA. Obviously they all have significant issues translating to the next level, but they are so good at basketball.

He reminds me of Isaiah Joe. If he can get to that level in the NBA then he's probably worth a late FRP.
