So I think we should remove Scoot Henderson from the #2 spot equation. I wouldn't even take him over George or Wallace.

I really like Cason Wallace. I think he's the perfect glue guy. He does everything well with no alarming weakness. He plays with such poise, control, and efficiency. He doesn't force ANYTHING. Just a really smart, selfless, team basketball player. Would love him in my starting lineup.

Watched a little of Illinois last night. Terrence Shannon has made the jump attacking the rim. He's drawing fouls at a ridiculous rate. Somewhat concerned with the 70% FT but he has an entire career of higher percentages. I wonder if he can get that up by season's end. Obviously an older guy, so that'll hurt him, but it could be someone we can snag if he falls to the second and if we want to participate in this draft.

I never thought I'd say this about Kentucky of all teams, but they're not playing enough RCIS talent and I think that's why they're losing these games against big programs.

2nd year in a row no Daimion Collins in the rotation.

Watch on YouTube

This dude is a gamer. Intense defense with volume shooting. Built like a truck.

Anthony Black coming on in a big way, as of late.

He and Brazille look like lotto locks. And Nick Smith hasn't even suited up for Arkansas yet.

Arkansas is must watch.

This is the best draft I've seen in years tbh.

I'm keeping a close eye on Jalen Hood-Schifino hoping that a 2nd trait emerges. I love his size (6'6" 213) and playmaking (24.1% assist).

I just know Scoot and Wemby, but i have to agree on your assessment.

It’s a great one to have zero picks in.

I bet Ujiri has his eyes on Malik Reneau.

He's got size, passing ability, defense, and rebounding. He just can't shoot. So Ujiri drafts him and Nick Nurse teaches him how to shoot and he has a two-way stud just like Anunuboy, Barnes, Banton, etc.

So Pete Nance is a no-brainer rotation player, right?

NBA bloodlines, well-rounded game.

Read on Twitter

Talked about him last year. Complete animal on offense. His athleticism is obviously the issue which might spell trouble on defense at the next level. He's currently not a liability on that end, but he also hasn't played anyone of note this year. Excited to see him take on Miss State for no other reason than to deal with extremely athletic players.

Couldn’t find him on any Mocks

You think he’s NBA quality? He looks polished as hell with wide shoulders on him. Is that your sleeper pick too btw?

His offense is definitely there, but I gotta see him against legit talent before I'm completely on board. Last year his offense was insane too.

That’s true he looks the part will keep an eye out for sure.

I feel like Emoni Bates is Quincy Miller if he went to Sam Houston State and was allow to jack up shots and play no defense. Also, if Quincy acted like a complete turd off the court.

Kyle Filipowski's numbers are great right now.

He's all over the court defensively and his jumper looks real strong.

Tshiebwe and Reeves are the only pro prospects I’m really interested in this year for UK. Cason can become the best player of the bunch, but it’ll take a while.

Tshiebwe has some pretty impressive footwork on offense. He’ll be a very fun small ball 5 for a team.

1) Malaki Branham
2) Tari Eason
3) Wendell Moore
4) Ryan Rollins

5) Jalen Williams
6) TyTy Washington
7) Jaden Hardy
8) Nikola Jovic

9) Andrew Nembhard
10) Jake LaRavia
11) Justin Lewis
12) Tevin Brown
13) Keon Ellis

This was my ranking right before the draft of guys in our general area. I still feel very good about it even though I'm surprised I let Branham jump Eason.

TyTy and Hardy are still figuring it out. Rollins too, although he's gotten some minutes with the Warriors this season despite an injury during summer league. Wendell is creeping into the rotation. So had Jovic, but he's back to G League. Surprised he wasn't a complete redshirt this year.

Jalen and Tari went before we would have even picked, but they are in the conversation for ROY. Nembhard is getting a lot of time with the Pacers. LaRavia also getting minutes with the Griz.

Ellis, Brown, and Lewis were always going to be G League guys to start out. Lewis had a pretty bad injury after getting drafted. Ellis is actually having a nice little season with his G League team. Brown is the only one on this list who is a complete disaster so far.
