Any chance Maluach falls out of the top-10?

Yes, I expect him to not be a top 10 pick.

I was definitely unfamiliar with his game...this kid might make a good change of pace backup Center to complement Okongwu.

Maxime Raynaud | Stanford | Center



Size: 7'1", 250 lbs
Age: 21
Nationality: France
Pro Comparison: Alex Len

Averaging 22.1 points and 1.8 threes at 7'1", Maxime Raynaud has taken another step forward offensively. His footwork, counters, command and touch with both hands from the post have looked professional. He's consistently getting himself high-percentage, controlled looks.

And now that he's shooting 40.0 percent on real volume (4.5 attempts), his fluidity scoring inside and out has made it easier to look past the athletic and defensive questions for a projected second-rounder.

Thomas Sorber | Georgetown | Center

6'10"
255 lbs
18 years old


Pro Comparison: Onyeka Okongwu

Thomas Sorber should be jumping straight to the top of watch lists with West Virginia, Syracuse, Creighton and conference opponents up soon on Georgetown's schedule.

Through eight games against mostly inferior opponents, he ranks No. 1 among freshmen in BPM by consistently scoring from post position, finishing cuts and rolls, owning the offensive glass and disrupting offenses with his size and length.

He's even averaging 2.8 assists, demonstrating impressive processing inside the arc and passing accuracy throwing entry passes and darts from behind the arc.

He isn't viewed as a modern center, but he's been highly effective playing back to the basket with quick spins, deep drop steps and a reach that can extend right to the rim.

With 10 three-point attempts, confidence in his mid-range touch and accurate free-throw shooting so far, Sorber has become one of the more interesting freshmen with his 19th birthday coming up on Christmas.

Derik Queen feels like Naz Reid 2.0 and everyone is greatly overthinking such a flawed player.

This is not a surprise to me. I posted over a dozen times on several threads for a good 8 months on how i thought Edey can develop a 3pt shot in the NBA, because he was a 73% free throw shooter in college.

So many big men to choose from in this last draft class.
