Kira Lewis - 6'3 said to be the fastest, with good on ball defense, creating and shooting..
Cole Anthony - 6'3 - perhaps the best scorer and former Top talent who had a underwhelming year of college.
3 - R J Hampton - 6'5 known for his height speed combination. Is said to be good at everything but not special at anything.
4 Tyler Terry - 6'2 - is or should be considered the best shooting PG in the class. Probably the weakest of this 4 on defense.
rank them if you want.
1. Terry:
Pros: He is a guy that ideally if everything pans out, you can plug him alongside Tatum and Brown and he will be money. Truly is a sharpshooter. Might take a year or 2 to get to the level of a sharpshooter on the NBA level, will need some small tweaks to consistently get his shot off against NBA defenders. Underrated amount of wiggle with the ball in his hands. Not necessarily a guy that can get to the basket at will, but can create space on the perimeter pretty damn well.
Cons: Is pretty damn small and not an A+ athlete. Not the best facilitator and wasnt a great defender on the college level. Could see him getting abused defensively and if that shot doesnt fall consistently, could just be another tiny 6 foot shooter who does nothing else (G League is filled with those guys).
2. Lewis:
Pros: Extremely quick. Solid shooting numbers, solid form on his jumper, solid facilitator. Should have good potential as a 1-2 defender.
Cons: Skinny as can be and doubt he ever becomes a versatile defender because of this and solid size but not great size. Solid for on his jumper but very inconsistent with it. More of a combo guard than PG at the moment. So not the ideal fit to go alongside Tatum/Brown
3. RJ:
Pros: High potential combo guard. Has all the tools you want in the combo guard. The shooting numbers arent there yet but has solid form with his jumper, nothing broken about it. Good size as well.
Cons: I think is a horrible fit alongside Tatum/Brown. Is a pretty ball dominant player, while he is a solid passer, he is a score first kind of guy. He looked really bad in Australia last year, really didnt do much well except look athletic. He has a ways to go and no guarantee he gets there.
4. Cole:
Pros: If youre looking for a guy that might be the next Jamal Murray Cole is your guy (in a smaller body). Cole's shooting was very inconsistent, but I think that has more to do with just adjusting to the size and speed of college. He will need an adjustment time in the NBA as well, but the dude was a lights out shooter in high school and can see that returning. When he is on, boy is he on. Can light you up wherever on the court.
Cons: He is a small 6'2 score first combo guard. If his shot isnt falling, what does he bring to the table? Very poor fit alongside Tatum/Brown. Was a very poor finisher at the rim in college, can be a solid passer but is far from a natural facilitator and turns it over a lot. How long will it take for him to adjust his jumper to the NBA level and will it ever be consistent?
