Below is my updated Draft Big Board. I believe the race for the #3 spot will be between Cam Whitmore, Amen Thompson, and Brandon Miller. It might come down to team fit by the time the draft rolls around. There are about 5 guards in Keyonte George, Cason Wallace, Jalen Hood-Schifino, Anthony Black, and Nick Smith who will be intriguing to compare their rookie year as they all could be drafted around the same spot and bring combo guard skills.
I really like what I’m seeing from Kobe Bufkin, JJ Starling, Jordan Hawkins, and Trey Alexander as high potential, late 1st round/early 2nd round targets. This draft is deep and there will be plenty of talent in the 2nd round and undrafted range. I can’t wait to dive deeper into each player as we get closer to the draft.
