Overtime Elite scored major with getting Thompson twins

Overtime Elite scored major with getting Thompson twins

I wonder if they can Hold them now?

U20 has some good international players.

- Prey
- Nunez
- Bona
- Okeke
- Caicedo
- Mantas (look out for him this year as a tall shooter)

Plus you have guys that didn't enter this year. 2023 is going to be a deep draft with players all over the place. I wouldn't be surprised if Miller goes in the second round this year, especially if the game is too quick for him.

It's still super early, but here's a few guys who could be selected in next years draft getting some burn for Arkansas (Nick Smith, Jordan Walsh, and Anthony Black)

Watch on YouTube

Jordan Walsh has great size, he's a guy that stood out to me when I was watching some footage a few weeks back.

Nick Smith projected much higher in the draft, he looks like he has some game to him

[Indeed]

Livingston seems to be projecting around the mid-1st
Showed both the ability to attack the basket and shoot the 3s, remind me a bit of Marcus Smart

Arkansas is going to be nice this year. All those guys can play.

Adem Bona (Nigerian/Turkish) Center has been looking absolutely dominant on both ends at the u20 European championships this summer. Extremely mobile and athletic big. Idk if he’d be available at our pick, but I think he’s a perfect fit for what we’re trying to do. I’ll be able to watch a lot of him this upcoming season since he’ll be a freshman at UCLA. Gonna keep an eye on him all year

Watch on YouTube

That mobility and athleticism showed at 0:40 is absurd for a Center

Adding this guy to my watch list. That mobility and quickness is unreal. He's like Clint Capela with forward skills.

He was at the Rico Hines runs with the raptors cause it’s at UCLA. He got a nice chase down block on OG at 15:20

As it stands (way too early lol) now…

My favourites in our range (in order):

Sidy Cissiko
Adem Bona
Chris Livingston
Jordan Walsh
Rayan Rupert

Will be praying one of Jarace Walker or Baba Miller fall to us.

All 5 are Raptor type players too. Nice choices all of them. I would include Gradey Dick also as a tall shooter with decent D.

Perfect, so the Raptors will be familiar with him.

Whoever that Brandon Miller kid is, is who I want the raps to draft.

6'8 SF sniper + bounce. If he's a sniper it means get can play the 2 on offense, which adds to our longboi group.

No love for Caleb Love? He's a stud and my top pick for raps

Bona aside, who if he has any success in college is going to skyrocket up boards and probably end up in the lottery, I like Marcus Sasser. Athletic,defensive minded combo guard that can attack off dribble and shoot it a bit. Would be great as a scoring, defensive spark plug off the bench, even if he isn't much of a facilitator. Could be an elite shooter and defender and those two things alone should easily keep him employed.

It's a bit too early for me to get in on the HS kids transitioning into college. But also interested in Mo Gueye and Cissoko.

I doubt any of Cason Wallace, Baba Miller or Jarace Walker (both would be amazing for us), Ware will be available.

Just praying Sidy Cissoko will still be there, if not one of Chris Livingston or Adem Bona will be great.

I'd love to flip Gary for a FRP, if possible but if not personally I'd look to flip OG to POR & see if Dame's age puts more pressure on them to win now & eventually they fold to Shaedon + 23' FRP + filler...maybe if they really want their 23' make it 24'. But I think if we can't consolidate Gary + OG into a solidified star then flip them for players or picks that we might be able to mold into into but we won't be able re-up on this entire starting lineup nevermind Precious in a couple years too.
