AJ Dybantsa will score 30+ points per game and never win anything. He will be the center of immense discussion and criticism because he is so talented but it won’t translate to winning. Inefficient for star standards and he will refuse to use his physical tools on defense.

Cameron Boozer: best prospect in draft. He isn’t slow and the hatred is forced. Incredibly productive. Best shooter of the big 4. Most winning player by far. Teammates love him. He’s the youngest. People are so swayed by him “appearing boring” that they’ve lost the plot. Also I watched a bunch of Duke games and I think he’s fun to watch and people are just parroting what everyone else says.

Darryn Peterson: either the best player in draft or one of the biggest busts/what ifs and not much room in between. I don’t like that his teammates and coach seem so mixed on him. Super talented feels risky in terms of his ability to realize it.

Caleb Wilson: I don’t see a #1 option but he will be a top player on a contender. Too athletic and smart not to be. Amazing defender. His teammates and coaches adore him, that’s a good sign.

Darius Acuff Jr: star player. His measurements are basically the same as scoot Henderson and he was way more winning and way more productive. (Slightly smaller wingspan.) somehow scoot was way more hyped, makes genuinely no sense. His defense will be fine bc he’s an absolute juggernaut on offense. Calipari says he’s one of the best players he’s coached, why don’t people just accept that? I just hope he doesn’t go to the god forsaken kings.

More thoughts-

Keaton wagler: winning player but needs right team around him. Seems humble and willing to adapt to what the team needs. Recent growth spurt players tend to do well in league but that could be biased by anecdotal evidence.

Kingston Flemings- very meh to me. Not bad but not good. Role player. Houston made his defense appear better than it is. People thought of him as significantly bigger than acuff but he’s simply not.

Mikel Brown Jr- I didn’t get to watch him personally but from how people talk about him seems boom or bust idk.

Aday Mara- might be best player outside of top 5 (including acuff) great passer and athlete. Will be valuable as league evolves to play against Wemby.

Cameron Carr- this guys awesome

Overall thoughts- I don’t think this draft is as deep as people say it is. Feels sorta top heavy, Chris Cenac Jr is a whack lottery pick. Watching Houston games he was basically invisible.

Lastly, experts know way more than me and they are smarter than me. I have been wrong before and will be wrong again but this is how I feel.
