Just begging Collier to win games and make shots and have an A/TO ratio above 1.
His stats are horrible, his projectable skills are worse, and USC is incredibly bad.

Sarr has been very solid out here this season (Australian NBL).
He's only playing a touch under 50% court time (and our games are only 40 mins) but he's getting 10ppg, 5rpg, shooting 51% from the field.
Plenty to work on, as you'd expect, but overall good consistency, and his length and mobility are both as advertised. Definitely looks like a high pick to me, although he's not out here killing guys (which would be a bit too much to expect, but would make the #1 pick choice easier...lol)
Bobi Klintman has looked pretty impressive most of the time, AJ Johnson has looked decent when I've watched him, but I've seen less of him than the other two. But they're more end of lottery types I'm guessing, with Klintman the better prospect I think. Got a few Aussies out here who'll be hoping to get picked, maybe second round, too.
What are your thoughts on Alex Toohey?
I hope I'm wrong, but I reckon he needs another year in the NBL before he's ready.
The good...
He's been a super talent all the way through in Australia, and he's stepped seamlessly into the starting lineup of a really strong team in our league, bumping some pretty decent vets aside to do so.
He has good positional size, including both height and length. His defence is decent (although I suspect he'd be rough as a rookie in the NBA, like most).
But...
He's a shooter shooting 31% from three, and 43% overall. As much as I'd love to pump his tyres up, I'd be cautious on him, tbh. But he seems to be getting incrementally better each game (ignoring a mini shooting slump in his last 2)
Later second round pick you leave in Australia for another year (or some other development program) then I'd say go for it. He has real potential.
Similar story with Lachlan Olbrich. He looks like a gamer to me, but he's only just now having a consistent impact in a positive sense on games, and he'll need to find his position and role at the next level. Worth a late second round flyer.

He's a PG who can barely dribble who is 1/8 from three on the season.

What's your top 5?
Catchall wrote:I think Topic is probably the front-runner to go #1 right now, unless the team drafting there is already heavily invested in a PG they believe in.
I think the Top 6 should be Topic, Sarr, Risacher, Williams, Holland, and Walter. I could see one of the UK guards getting as high as 7 or 8.
), but Topic is by FAR the best performed draft prospect this year.
