Terry ain't coming back most likely, I am not a big fan of Christopher and the situation at ASU isn't ideal for him imo

As for clyde's rosters, some wrong points imo

from what I heard more likely that Petrusev is back than Kispert, anyhow, Ballo is a straight up pure Center, if anything Zakharov could play some PF

As for Duke, Tape is likely starting I'd say and I agree with Roach probably being the starting PG but Steward is a better fit imo, deepest team K has had in a long time

Gonzaga is easily the best team imo

Suggs-Cook
Ayayi-Arlauskas-Harris
Watson-Strawther
Timme-Zakharov
Petrusev-Ballo

Ballo, Harris likely not playing much if at all, dunno if someone may transfer, Watson at SF ain't ideal but Few loves size, hopefully he starts letting Petrusev to shoot it more, Timme is probably better already and their best lineup is likely Cook-Suggs-Ayayi-Watson or Petrusev-Timme

Roach-Goldwire
Moore-Steward
Johnson-Coleman-Baker
Hurt-Brakefield
Tapé-Williams

Coleman is more of a PF/C physically but has perimeter skills (really like him), not sure who gets PT for real and who doesn't, but they have legit 8 NBA prospects in there (even if a couple of them are just marginal), hopefully Tapé plays facing up and shooting, with Johnson on ball more often than not, I'd expect Steward-Moore-Johnson-Hurt-Tapé or Coleman or Brakefield to be their best lineup

Also great foundation long term (similar to UNC's recruiting class this year) only one guy should go (Johnson and Love) and the rest are gonna stay and probably get the program to Final Four/titles

I like him too, plays with aggression and passion. He looks a little undersized though.

^ i agree this is Duke's deepest team in a while for year, not the top end talent of 18-19 but deeper for sure

also agree Gonzaga is the best team on paper by a decent margin, especially if Petrusev is coming back.

Jason Terry joined AZ and for all that matters Mike Schmitz (former grad) did as well, another intl recruit going there, a good one in Tubelis (got the other twin too), it is honestly not great to direct so many to the same school esp considering that Miller sucks and some of them probably will not like it all that much under him but they got a really interesting roster now

Brown-Kriisa-Williams
Baker-Akinjo
Mathurin-Terry-Tubelis
Lee-Tubelis-Görener
Brown-Koloko-Batcho

Seems to me like they expect Brandon Williams to be basically done for?

DeShaw Andrews is a chonk. If he can lose some weight, he has a nice little lefty game. He's my super duper sleeper pick. Emphasis on super.

Agbaji just keeps falling and falling.
Robert Horry is better than MJ, because everybody knows that 7>6.

Keep your eye on Tre Mitchell out of UMass. Played well against top competition and going into his Sophomore year. Stretch 4/small ball 5 potential. Has to work on his body, but it's looking better and better everyday.
