Great episode guys!!! I think both Ivisic brothers are close, I'd still take Zvonimir by a sliver in a draft though. Got to agree that Dylan Harper has to be the best driver in the draft. Labaron Philon has to be at least a first round pick since Kasparas is right...? Ian Jackson is a good scorer, but being ACC POY is a big stretch. I don't know whether he will climb into the top 10 or not, but top 20 is very likely at least. That Alijah Martin to Marcus Smart is a great comp as far as the bullishness for sure. I've turned the corner at least for now - Liam is slightly ahead of Riley atm. Still subject to change though imo. Ace could be in someone's big board in the middle of the first round, but I don't think he slips past 4 in the draft. He's likely going higher than that too. Stojakovic has to be a consensus riser. I think Bruce Thornton is an UDFA guy. Still a little surprised my guy Adrian Wooley isn't getting more credit than he maybe should. No, he's not the best prospect or anything, but I'd have him in my top 40 prospects if he declared. There's so much to like about him, I'd like to see an episode on him even if it were about other severely underrated prospects. But he's a solid athlete with a jumper that can put the ball on the floor and play defense. So he turns the ball over - he's also a freshman carrying an otherwise bad team while being the target in the game. Maybe I'm crazy or his biggest fan and don't know it - but I just don't see why more people are not on this kids' bandwagon. Btw, watching 2 games today... Columbia @ Rutgers could be a good one. Like to see how the 11-1 smart play of Columbia fairs against 2 of the top 5 picks... Should be an important game for Geronimo Rubio De La Rosa too. The second game will be tonight where Santa Clara goes to San Francisco. Under the radar prospects in that game... Anyways, til' next time!
@@mikejones9906 yeah mid first round isn't going to happen - that's for sure. I can see a world where he's the first pick but then I could see a world where he slips to 4th.
@LockedOnNBABigBoard , Hey Raf, I have a question.... I've found some lower tier guys in this draft that I like for sure, but I'm searching for guys that have some "Oomph" outside of the top 5 prospects and I'm having trouble finding any. By "Oomph" I mean the ability and willingness to finish at the rim through somebody. I'm not limiting to big guys either, Jamaal Murray, Jalen Brown, Jalen Johnson all have Ooomph. Tatum, Jabari Smith, Brandon Miller and Jalen Duren. Trevon Brazile had his 5 minutes of fame 2 years ago but Im not sure that it's his game, Flory Bidunga? Everyone I see is fine undefended but otherwise avoids contact. Any suggestions? Worthy of a video? surely a 5 second clip here or there is fair use.
Nolan Traore gets to the rim regularly but doesn't have oomph and Asa Newel doesn't dunk over anyone that I've seen. Ryan Kalkbrenner is tall but he's not it.
@@mikejones9906 Flagg at 4 huh? I'm about as high on Dink Pate atm, like it a lot... Btw, thanks for not including Kasparas - top 5 talk about him is a bit of a stretch to me...

He'd make GMs foolish if he went to a solid team and balls out though.
@@gabrielcarrasco9078 don't know which "He'd..." you mean, but I'm curious...

Any thoughts about Miles Byrd?

Great episode

Just went on James and Rafael’s twitter account and to the surprise of none, no mention of Ace Bailey’s performance against Columbia.
No mention of anyone’s performance. Haven’t posted on twitter in hours
@ Rafael, when have you seen a freshman that can score from anywhere?? Tatum, maybe?
