Figured I'd start a thread about the draft rather than posting about prospects in different threads.
Let's start off with Koa Peat who dropped 30 on the defending champs along with 5 assists and 4 stocks.

Aj lived up to the hype. robert wright was also impressive with the ball in his hands. Had a hard time finishing

College ball really doesn't suit AJ. He wants to beat guys off the dribble and attack the rim but there is no illegal D in college. Teams can pack the paint so he ends up driving into traffic. In a way it might help him because he will have to kick it out to shooters more than he would normally.
Soon....

Leading up to the season i was trying to figure out why Boozer is rated so highly. I see a guy with average athleticism and skills. Not surprised he struggled in his first game going 3-12 from the field.

He will be a top two pick. Have fun with boozer :cheers:
i watched AJ in a game for the first time and the thing that stood out was that he is very quick. It is going to be hard for any defender to stay in front of him.
I know it’s only game 1 but Peterson looked like SGA already.
Great thread, guys.:cheers:I don't have time to follow college ball, but I will definitely pop in here to see how the season goes and how the future stars of the league develop. Keep it up!!!

Thanks :cheers:
Mikel Brown Jr is another likely top 10 pick. Deep range and good handles.
This was an exhibition game but still impressive.

Minus the foul baiting & flopping like a Magikarp every time he drives to the basket
Peterson looks insanely advanced. His jumper is nice, handles are excellent, first step is nuts, and the scoring instincts are there. Great athleticism and wingspan too.

Yeah i have Peterson at 1 and AJ and 2 on a different tier from everyone else.

You're going to have to let go. Trust me, you'll feel better :lol
The comp is there. Really smooth handle, great footwork, jumper he can get off from anywhere and make at a high level, good but not elite athleticism. Also ability to step back and play a PG type role as well. He could be like a 23-24ppg scorer here since Kansas also doesn't really have any other big-time scoring weapons.
Kansas playing UNC at 7 on ESPN, Peterson vs Caleb Wilson.
