Nick Smith JR:
Maybe im just not a fan of Nick Smith JR, but I got him under 20th pick now. Skillset is great, but he's just way too inconsistent, defense isn't too gd as well
I think an injury-free season will help his draft stock a lot, and if he can up his % to maybe at least a 45/38/80, I think he will be easily top 10, especially given his incredible skillset
Staying in Arkansas is gd, don't rlly need a change of scenario
GG Jackson:
Same with NSJ, GG is a player with incredible skillset, but it's the same thing, he's inconsistent
As a big man, I don't even know if his % is higher than NSJ
He's known for his shooting, and his iso ability, there's times that I think his ceiling can be the 3rd highest in the class, after Wemby and Scoot
He's also a very gd defender, very switchable too
BUT, 1st is the % problem, but 2nd he plays in South Carolina, a very weak team, where he's the biggest player, he can do whatever he wants
In other words he never played real team ball, it will be a concern when he comes into the league, whether he moves the ball well enough to be a team player
I suggest him to move to a bigger sku if available, there he will rlly show how he plays with real quality teammates
Kele Ware:
He's a rim protecting (not the best but decent) C with great shooting form and huge potential to be a stretch big
But I believe this year he don't rlly have much chance to shine, i've heard he was a 6th man behind another C, but next year if he stays he should be able to start
He will also need to work on his 3pt% as this season it hasn't rlly been very gd to be called a good stretch big
Maxwell Lewis:
There's times that he's a top 10 pick this season, great volume shooter, good defender, just all you need from a freshman 3&D
But, his % dropped through times, and he rlly didn't get much success for Pepperdine
I got him at most early srp now
Therefore, what I think he should do is to go to a bigger sku, see if he can find a sku that he can be a 2nd star as yea, he rlly is just a 3&D
Amari Bailey and Kobe Bufkin:
Both are talented guards, sick handles, Jordan Poole or Anfernee typa prospect.
I just think if they can stay 1 more year they can have a larger role on Michigan and UCLA respectively? Idk
But I think they can definitely push their names into 1st round for 2024 Draft
Especially with this class being so stacked at guards
Dillon Mitchell:
It do seem like few months ago Dillon is a hugher ranked prospect, once in top 10 I rmb, but more I see him the more I think, he can just go undrafted
Beside his athleticism and defense he got like nth else...
To increase his draft stock he has to train for more skillset, cus if this typa player got the shooting, he can probably be alrdy up to late 1st
He can stay too, it's just him not hvinv enough skillset
