Naas Cunningham has Rylan Griffen level of potential. Its just going to be a matter of if it all comes together or not in these next 6 months of practice.

[@BarnesonBama]

I would agree with that. I think Naas has untapped potential but I think Philon may be the one to surprise some people based on the reports out of practice

[@jayy3105]

Naas is a crazy defender

[@BarnesonBama]

I think he plays very limited minutes this year unless major injury issues. Just because of position and how well others are playing in front of him

I'm sorry but you are 100% wrong about the competition in OTE, it's actually a much higher caliber of player in OTE compared to anywhere else. The reason he dropped in ranking is because there are many great players in OTE that kind of overshadowed him, oh, and because of people that think like you do. Just look at all of the current and future NBA players coming from OTE - the Thompson twins, Dominick Barlow, Alexandre Sarr, Rob Dillingham, Tyler Smith, Izan Almanza, and the list gets bigger all the time. And OTE is only in their 3rd year! Also look at what just happened in the tournament that just played out in Europe, OTE went there with their young talent, not even their best talent, and with only 1 practice session, went 2-1 against the best young European teams. I'm sick of hearing how OTE doesn't have great competition, it is second only to the NBA and G-League as far as talent goes. If you played OTE teams against the best college teams, I guarantee they would win a majority of those games. Don't sleep on OTE, you will regret it.

Agree to disagree. Also the NBA GLeague Ignite was an abject failure. Look at Link Academy and Prolific Prep both of those teams are better than the best OTE roster. As for the Europe comment look at Alabama last season they went 3-0 including a win over a National Team. US high school is better than Europe and that’s just a fact, Prolific or Link would have done the same

It's great to local kids stay home. It's a rarity these days.

[@BarnesonBama]

Absolutely I think it adds to the rivalries
