Not sure where to rate Brice Sensabaugh or Chris Ledlum. Both could be awesome additions but both are probably a tad undersized for today PF's and husky for todays SF's.

I wasn't blown away with Max Lewis at first but the more I see film the more I agree with some guy who liked his game. Great size and still has upside. Only a sophmore. I also like Darrion Williams and Jalen Picket are good Big guards. One for passing and the other just a bull.

If I had to add another FAVORITE I would add Keyonte George to my depth chart for 1st round consideration. If we were to trade back.

UNCNYC · Post #244 » by **UNCNYC** » Mon Dec 19, 2022 4:58 am

I no longer want Anthony Black nor Brandon Miller

MY 1ST ROUND PICKS ARE -

Keyonte George, Jalen Wilson, Nikola Durišić

Hornets play late. Arkansas plays tonight right before the HORNETS do at 9:00 SEC NETWORK. They have lost some power without Brazile but still a decent watch.

There is a sleeper I wanna watch that comes on 6:30 BIG TEN NETWORK. I never saw him play but his highlights look good. His name is Trey Townsend.. He plays for Oakland.

Oakland VS Michigan state - 6:30 BIG TEN NETWORK

-------
ROUND 2 -

CG -
PG - Jalen Moore
SG - *Devin Carter,
SF - *Jordan Miller, *Trey Townsend
PF - Oso Ighodaro, Bryce Hopkins
C -

Forgot to add. My new favorite player is RayJ Dennis. I think he is a super steal. The Guards in this draft can be franchise changing. I will watch RayJ play later if I can find a full game upload. I only seen high lights and interviews.

Here are his stats. He's having a great year stat wise.

Jett Howard is a solid player. I will add him for 1st round consideration. I also LOVE what I saw fro Trey Townsend

If any of you are still up I HIGHLY reconend watching the

HAWAII VS PEPPERDINE game that is currently on ESPN2.

The game will be going to halftime soon but there is so much talent in this game
Maxwell Lewis, Mike Mitchell JR, Houston Mallette VS Noel Coleman, Kamaka Hepa, Samuta Avea

Max Lewis - This game features Max Lewis who I have heard people say should be a LOTTERY pick. But not only that it is
SUUUPER fun to watch. Even the announcer says this game has such a flow to it. I actually like quite a few guys in this game

I just don't buy the Scoot Henderson hype being in the same stratosphere as Wemby.

Scoot is 6-2, which is small. Probably going to be a liability on defense based on that alone.
He is more a scorer, just seems like a headache situation waiting to happen for team that takes him if he has to play the 2.
Just hesitant to draft that small of a player with a top 2 pick.
If he comes in any shorter than 6-2, probably dropping him to 4-5 range on my board on that alone.

I don't either. for the height reasons as well as I am not sure he is a legit PG.. I gotta see if he can make up for it with b-ball IQ.

Right now I have my picks as

*Keyonte George, Max Lewis, Nikola Durišić, Jalen Wilson,

I am really impressed with what I see from Maxwell Lewis. I posted his highlights a few post up on this page. He might play tomorrow in consolation game but the kid is official. Just needs to finish more at the rim.

I will say, I was at the Kansas and Indiana game a few weeks ago in Lawrence... Gradey Dick has the it factor. Not saying he is going top 5 or anything crazy, but his confidence, quick trigger and bbiq are legit for a Freshman and he has good size too at 6-7.

Wow I didn't know you went to the game. I thought I read you WATCHED it. First off congrats to Jalen Wilson for 1,000 career points. 2nd. I LOVE both of those players. that must have been awesome. I didn't know you were from there...

UNCNYC · Post #254 » by **UNCNYC** » Fri Dec 23, 2022 12:29 pm

Two players I forgot to add in the first round were Jett Howard and Julian Phillips, brice sensabaugh

Max Lewis - he is my Trevon Brazile replacement. You can see him play tonight at 10:00 I think. I think he is lottery talent. No need to keep the 1st pick at all imo.

Isaiah Wong - sleeper

AUSTIN REAVES - JT Shumate, Cormac Ryan, Santiago Vescovi (these guys could be the next him)

UNCNYC · Post #255 » by **UNCNYC** » Fri Dec 23, 2022 2:54 pm

Max Lewis - Here is a thread of what some think of him, as well as why he might be overlooked. Imagine if he fell to us in the 2nd round

Max Lewis plays at 10:00 on ESPN2. He is going against a quality backcourt so should be good test for him

UNCNYC · Post #257 » by **UNCNYC** » Sat Dec 24, 2022 3:30 am

Max Lewis is playing on ESPN2 now against George Washington.. He already has 10 points. Game just started. He looks sooo official. I think he can be this years JOSH PRIMO.

I live in Charlotte, but I was in Kansas City for a work party and decided to swing to Lawrence to catch a game with my wife.

Good times. If realgm wasn't so weird about sharing pics I could show some cool ones.

Pepperdine is such a dope team to watch. I love their team Jovan Porter, Jalen Pitre, Mike Mitchell JR, Houston Mallette, Malik Moore. Them, and Arkansas have been really fun this year.

Max Lewis is official. Only reason I MIIIIGHT choose Keyonte George over him is his ability to play CG.

PICK 1 - TIER 1

CG -
PG - *Anthony Black,
SG - *Keyonte George, *Max Lewis,
SF - *Jalen Wilson, *Nikola Durišić,
PF - *Brandon Miller,
C -

PICK 1 - TIER 2

CG - *Andre Jackson, *Keshon Gilbert, *Jalen Hood Schifino,
PG - *Taran Armstrong,
SG - *Mojave King, JJ Starling,
SF - *Gradey Dick, Jett Howard, Julian Phillips
PF - Noah Clowney, Brice Sensabaugh, *Michael Sharavjamts,
C - *Patrick Gardner, *Azuolas Tubelis,

Awesome. Only thing I know about Kansas City is Owen Hart, and Chalk Jayhawk song which although I do not like them the song rocks lol.
