Class insane. Mikel Brown literally would be considered top 3 pick off this performance alone and he might not even go top 5

I would be comfortable betting that he goes top 5. That was quite a show.

The top ten may be the best ever.

Going to be a fun watch this college season.

You know a couple guys will rise too.

Too early for some alarm bells about Dybantsa? Concerned about his shooting ability. I see the 3 level potential in his game but right now he basically can only do one thing- drive left.

Still have him #2 below Peterson.

Mikel Brown Jr is more skilled and athletic than Darryn Peterson. I think peterson will certainly get drafted before him but id say there is a very high chance he ends up the better player between the two in the nba.

this will most likely age like milk. Peterson has size and power that will allow him to finish at the rim and post up smaller guards, things Brown will never have. I don't think Brown is a better athlete at all especially with size and power factored in. Sure, he may be quicker and maybe he has a higher vert though I suspect neither is true. We'll have to wait for the combine for that to get answered.

Flemings might be a better PG than Brown and Brown might be one of the best PG prospects in awhile. This class is outrageous

Wilson might be the number 1 pick tbh. He kinda has all the tools to be a high impact perennial all nba player plus the hunger as well. Idk, I really like him. Think UNC vs Duke will help to solidify his hype as he wasn’t expected to do anything preseason

The crazy thing so far is that with the freshman we are basically looking at who has been incredible vs who has merely been pretty good or fine. Early, early, the most disappointing are Cenac (bad offense so far, great rebounding) and Yessefou (good volume, bad shooting) and tgere is still a whole year of basketball for them to also have their moments.
