Killian is probably the only one I might consider taking ahead of them.

I didn't like Herro for awhile. You kept talking his ass up and I finally got around to his tape was like, he's not a 2nd rounder, he's actually good. :nod:

I loved Sekou but no way Pax takes a risk like that.
IMO he has an all star ceiling and is quick enough time create and strong enough to play bully ball. His shot is smooth w range and I think in time he will be elite at drawing fouls.
I saw Herro as a Korver. Didn’t think he’d be as verasitile or athletic.

IsaIah Stewart just produces man. Im not sure how much higher his ceiling gets but hes very impressive near the rim. Hit a nice looking 3 to start as well today

MARCUS TSOHONIS
former 3 star recruit is now a first round possible prospect imo.
edit: in 2021 if he improves his handles

I opened up this thread to ask about him. Seems like Jaden McDaniels is considered the better prospect but Stewart is more consistent. At 6’9 is he considered too much of a tweeter? Why aren’t people higher on him?

Not sure, he's definitely getting underrated though

He's been ok defensively, has good tools and length but lately in conference play esp, he has not been very good at all offensively.
Makes a lot of "really low iq" type decisions often selfish shot takes as well, and I mean if he was shooting well it would be one thing but I definitely think he needs to consider staying in college another year if things don't pick up pretty soon for him.I think he could be a Nas Little type freefall.
I had him as a top 10 prospect based on a lot of bad intel apparently. as of right now I am not sure he is lock for the first round if he stays in and that is in a weak class for prospects of his projected position/ physical archetype.

the Oregon press stifled WAS entire roster in the 2nd half and they have plenty of length to match his so there is that too

McDaniels is a complete hit or miss prospect, he has qualities that can either make him a star or a bust...kinda like Bol last year but with Bol i was willing to take the chance because the upside is bonkers

Ridiculously solid and will likely have a long career in the league but not a ton of upside. he looks like he'll be what he is. McDaniels offers more upside but if it doesnt click for him Stewart will have the better career.

Why doesn’t Stewart have a ton of upside? He’s only a freshman. He’s a solid free throw shooter so becoming a decent three point shooter isn’t out of the question.

Josh Green's motor on both ends, but especially on defense, is a joy to behold. There aren't many players out there that play with this kind of intensity so consistently. It's the main reason I have him ranked so close to Anthony Edwards even though Green is less talented/gifted.

It's definitely promising. I think offensively, his game is pretty rudimentary and lacks a lot of polish, in terms of skill-set, but he has feel and good physical attributes, good touch, and the form on the jumper isn't broken, though a bit cumbersome. He's not much of an offensive player right now but I think there's potential if he keeps working on his skill-set.
