he'd be #1 for me.

Ranking sites usually penalize guys for moving up..towns and vonleh went from top 3 in their class to double digit rankings I think

Yeah scouts are still clueless to the fact that age matters.

I could possibly see that with Thon Maker but there should be noooo way Josh doesn't crack top ten if not top 5 if he reclasses.

You can make cases for Rabb, Simmons, and maybe, MAYBE Diamond Stone having their spots pretty much established and secure for the time being but Josh should easily be considered better than anybody else in that class.

Whelp that solves the BenSim mystery

Ayton's size and skillset is scary.

moves better than expected, didn't even look 7'3" until that first block.

obviously very raw and will need a ton of work. out of position on one defensive highlight and traveled on that last transition finish. but he runs the floor really well. any idea how long he's been playing?

yes. stronger build, more explosive athleticism give him the edge imo. thornton's the better general but he has a narrow build which might limit him in the long run.

wonder if this puts some west coast team in the forefront for his year of service in college.

Obviously nothing is set in stone but KU is thought to be out in front.
