Good evening... Who is watching the McDonald's AAG tonight?

Darryn Peterson looks nice as hell out there.... I can see the Kobe comp's....

AJ Dybantsa
Alijah Arenas
Big Boozer
Lil Boozer
Darryn Peterson
Nate Ament - Very interesting prospect, 6-10 with a nice handle and shot, needs to gain weight but promising prospect....

Time to start talking about this kid

Watch on YouTube

Reclassified in his junior year as a senior, so he's only doing 3 years of HS. Just turned 18 a few days ago.

From 5 weeks ago....
https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/44002642/2026-nba-mock-draft-top-10-prospects-emerges

Suggestion from Givony seems to be that its quite top heavy with a top 4 or 5 that's pretty special and then the roof caves in, so maybe I was wrong that it was deeper than this one. Not sure, but it does seem SUPER TOP HEAVY to the tune of 3-4 deep for sure of guys that would be tier 1 in this class.

Isiah Harwell had 16 pts in 18 minutes. Shot 6 of 9, 4 of 7 from 3. He's a kid out of Idaho, committed to Houston. Intriguing as well. Some mocks have him top 8...

Alijah is going to be a monster.

Gil has done a great job with his son.

Any chance that Ted would not let us draft arenas?

Sorry. I think funny-not funny is a better response. Tragic story.

Only if he wants mass resignations in the FO.

I want to draft Dybantsa one spot ahead of Utah.

Wasn't totally sure where to put this

it's pretty darn encouraging....not familiar with these guys and maybe I like it because it confirms what I would like to hear. And I'm not familiar with some of the new wrinkles to cap mgmt aprons, 1st/2nd draft etc.

These guys are talking like they are really impressed by the strategic planning and (early) execution.
