Why is there a 7'3 dude out there?

To bad this kid comes injured and tired of a long season he was still playing this last week with his team a Championship and probably doesn't going show up to much he is special.

He does one of those in every game

Badji looks like a 1st rounder to me. He's got a great motor - to go along with the 7'1 size - like a taller Daniel Gafford. And it looks like he has some developing ball-handling skills - raw but there's potential there. He'll probably slide to the 2nd round and be a steal for someone.

Oumar Ballo has been... disappointing.

Zach Edey I think? I didn't watch the games. I just heard he's been killing it.

Team USA’s Jack “Chet” Skellington absolutely dominates stretches of the game on both ends, all while maintaining the dour expression of the older brother from “Little Miss Sunshine.” Remarkable.

Yep that’s Zach Edey. Plays at Purdue. 7’4”

Solid player to keep an eye on

Badji doing what he does well. Physical freak.

Wild that Turkey are so good in the frontcourt that they bring in 5* Bona off the bench. Their bigs killed us (Australia) in the 1st Q overnight, was the difference.

For us, Dyson Daniels has been excellent. As mentioned, he's signed with Ignite. Worth keeping an eye on Bayles, Gak and Galloway also on the Aus roster.

Wembenyama has been incredible. One of the best big prospects I've ever seen.

Mathurin and Prosper great for Canada. Got a few other notable guys too. US team has been solid, obviously some strong prospects there.

Whilst still uber raw glad to see he's improved some from when we were first mentioning him on the board. seems more coordinated and fluid out there. Still TONS of room for improvement though.

Senegal advances to the Quarter-Finals for the first time in their history. Good for them

The Turkey-Argentina game also had a crazy game-winner.

I only judge it from highlights, but Chet seems very disappointing, no hustle and slow movement, this is a top prospect in the nation? Poku looked better.

Although it was against a bum team, that Jovic boy can ball.

Personally I think Paolo looks/is better.

Yeah this just isn't as good of a draft at the top. I mean Kuminga was the #1 recruit and then went to #5 or below when he reclassified.

Victor Wembanyama just further establishing himself as the #1 prospect in 2023. Had 20/6/2 and 8 blocks in the quarter final against Lithuania and led his team to a victory. Remember, he is two years younger than the competition

Yeap, I watched this game, his defense is insane, Porzingis + Gobert

Pretty easy to see Khalifa Diop developing into a quality rotation big.

If he can stay healthy there isnt a reason he cant be a top 10 player, if not higher, when he gets a feel for the NBA. He literally has everything you could ask for in a modern big.

Generational size/length
Excellent defensive instincts
Generational mobility for his size
Elite shot mechanics for his size
Elite feel for the game consitering his size and age

He is the definition of a unicorn. A Ralph Sampson level specimen, but with a 3PT shot. Dude can be whatever he has the drive to be.
