Bub Carrington is in. I'm guessing he can go 5-25 depending on workouts.

Good size, great stats for a freshan starting for a P5 school, right type of NBA skills in his game. An actual true freshman (so basically -1 year younger comapred to most 'freshman' due to the relative age effect). Cousin of Rudy Gay. Amazing ATO rates for a frshman PG. Green flags are waving out of the page for this one.

well, what do you know?

He and Sheppard were my two favorite players to watch this year. If you could morph the two you'd have the perfect guard prospect. Carrington has a lot of SGA in his game. Can easily get to his spots and has a nice mid-range jumper. I think he is a better shooter than his numbers suggest. He's a very aggressive player and puts pressure on teams on both ends of the court. I'm really interested in seeing his measurements and vertical. I watched them a lot and can't remember more than a dunk or two all season but it seemed effortless. If he's close to 6'6" like I think he could be taken anywhere in the top 10 tbh.

Crazy at 6-5 and shooting as much as he did he had 0 dunks this year. A bit of a redflag, but I do like him.

he had dunks they were just few and far between. I'm pretty sure I remember a decent alley-oop and a couple of regular dunks but it's definitely not even a minor part of his game. The lack of drives to the rim with the intent to score is alarming. He seemed to rather draw defenders and dish which isn't bad since he's a PG but it'd have been nice to see him actually finish over or around defenders and I watched a lot of their games and saw very little of this.

Yes my bad, he had 2 dunks according to Bart, I thought it said 0 must have been looking at someone else.
Still a very low for a player his size.
Castle has 21 and Devin Carter has 26.
Even Sheppard, Dillingham have 4 and 5.

Kinda surprised to see Mackenzie Mgbako return, but he could be a lottery pick next year.

He needs to improve his game a lot, but with Ware gone he could be the man next year. He is too robotic and he doesn't really play all that strong now. If he can do that and find some shooting efficiency then yeah top 10 pick doesn't seem wild.

I'm very surprised. NIL money must be real good. He's a first round talent with good NBA size and length for a 3 imo but plays too laid back and has the body of a 4 because he's carrying too much weight which impacts his quickness and explosion. Like with Bona last year, he was probably not getting the feedback or assurances he could go in the first. But like with Bona, I'm not sure he's going to improve his draft stock enough to change that for next draft.

Edwards quietly improved his draft stock considerably after a really tragic first couple of months that saw him go from laughably being considered #1 in the preseason on many mocks to nearly undraftable. He shot well over 40% on threes after January and was noticeably more comfortable. He's got a Danny Ainge pick in the late 1st written all over him.
