I understand the jumper needs work and people may question his level of competition and even his age, but I m sold on the size, freakish athleticism and playmaking. He s still a little raw, but once he figures it out he s going to be special. I think he s a franchise-changing talent. — Rafael Barlowe

Amen is the third-best prospect in this draft behind Wembanyama and Scoot, and Ausar is right behind him. Their functional athleticism and how easy it looks for them is insane. — NBA scout

Cam had a strong showing at the U18s and could be a top 5 pick next June. He has all the tools to fit the modern NBA as he s strong, athletic and versatile, which will allow him to play both forward spots. I love his motor and toughness and think he s going to develop into a reliable shooter, but I want to see him make strides as a passer. I know he can score, but if he can make others around him better it takes his game to another level. — Rafael Barlowe I m extremely high on Cam. He s a dog, he s young and the skills have come a long way in a short time. He s a freak on both ends of the floor with an incredibly strong lower body. He s one of those guys that looks way bigger in person. — NBA scout

Nick has a chance to be the first college player off the board on draft night. I first saw him at the Wootten Camp in Dallas a couple years ago and he was the best player at the camp and has continued to progress. I m curious to see how he plays with Anthony Black this season. I believe both need the ball to maximize their gifts but I think Smith will have the easier adjustment. I ll also be paying attention to how effective he is scoring at the rim. I know he has great touch on his floater, but can he finish at the basket? — Rafael Barlowe He’s hesitant getting all the way to the rim, he’s got a great floater but he relies on it way too heavily for me, but he’s a really good shooter. — NBA scout

I’m super high on Dariq. He’s young, which is a big thing for me. He’s been at Montverde since he was in 8th grade and he’s super mature given his age. I think his game is scalable to the NBA and that’s probably the biggest thing for him. He’s a great kid off the court, his brother is in the NFL and he has all the bloodlines. He’s going to shoot the ball, he’s going to defend and he’s a solid athlete. NBA scout

I m a big believer in Keyonte George and have been since he was a freshman in high school. It will be interesting to see how he s used at Baylor since he ll be sharing the backcourt with their top two returning scorers from last season. He s a big-time scorer that can play on and off the ball, and I don t think he gets enough love as a passer. — Rafael Barlowe The decision-making is a massive question for me. He’s looking to score and put the ball in the hoop. He’s a gifted scorer, he can get to his spots and can rise up [over defenders], but I’m looking to see how he processes things offensively. He’s looking to score 10 out of 10 times. — NBA scout

Like his twin brother, Ausar is going to have to spend major time in the gym to improve his jump shot and extend his range. He s considered the better shooter of the two, and he s still a ways away from being an average shooter. I m intrigued by the ball handling, athleticism and passing. I think he can also be a high-level defender with his motor and elite tools. With the right work ethic and developmental program I think he could be a solid secondary playmaker. — Rafael Barlowe It’s something [the shooting] I’ll be monitoring all season. But I remember Andre Igoudala being a non-shooter as a 19-yearold freshman at Arizona and he turned out pretty good. — NBA scout

Dillon Mitchell is one of those guys that can impact games without dominating the ball. He hustles, rebounds, gives his team extra possessions, moves without the ball and flies down the floor in transition. He ll need to add more to his game on the offensive end, but you can t teach his athleticism, aggression and defensive versatility — Rafael Barlowe

I’ve heard good stuff about the shooting progression. I don’t think he’s going to shoot great this year and I don’t think he’s going to shoot at a high volume. I think the playmaking is interesting and that’s the thing that’s popped to me the most. I think he has real juice as a passer. — NBA scout

GG is one of my favorite prospects in this class. He ll only be 18 on draft night and his potential is off the charts. I think he can be the rare big man that scores on multiple levels. He can score around the rim, take his man off the dribble, shoot the midrange and knock down open shots from deep. I really love how he handles the ball. The sky is the limit. — Rafael Barlowe His age, and his recent development and how much he’s improved over the last year is why I’m so high on him. He’s made a lot of strides recently and probably would be the top pick in 2024 if he didn’t reclass. — NBA scout

Lively reminds me a lot of Tyson Chandler. In high school Chandler showed promising skill but settled for a role as a defensive anchor, rim protector and rebounder. Lively could end up with a similar role, which would mean a really good and long career. Now if he s like Chandler and his shooting continues to progress, he could see multiple All-Star games. — Rafael Barlowe

I think he can really shoot the ball and will shoot it well [this season] and that’s going to keep him in the lottery discussion. At his size he can really shoot it off the catch. How many guys can do that and block shots? He’s the second-best big behind Wembanyama. — NBA scout

I was high on Terquavion early as an NBA prospect and I like how he took the gamble to bet on himself and returned to school to try to improve his draft stock. His draft range was already pretty high before he pulled out so it was a risk. He s got some Jordan Poole in him and should be able to carve out a nice role as an instant offense microwave scorer.

Rafael Barlowe

CLASS SOPHOMORE

His frame is ultra thin much like Bones Hyland s. My question largely relies on how well he can play the 1 because I think he is more of an undersized 2. Could he play the role of Jason Terry, who thrived as an undersized 2? NBA scout

Miller could be the biggest wildcard in this class. He could shake up the draft and end up being a top 5 pick because he s that good. He s super talented with great size and versatility, and you can make a case he s underrated coming into the season. Rafael Barlowe

He s rising in my opinion but it s early. The more I see his film, the more I like him. He s long, agile and can score all over the floor and he s around 6 8 or 6 9 . I missed the TCU game [a scrimmage on October 18 in Fort Worth , but I heard they didn t have an answer for him. He should be in the discussion to be one of the top picks. NBA scout

I really, really like Jarace as a passer and playmaker. He passes on the move, finds cutters and can play a role as a distributor from the 4 spot. I think he can create mismatches all over the floor, is too strong for wings and can attack slower defenders off the dribble. He fills the stat sheet and is also a good defender. Rafael Barlowe

He s massive, physically mature, smart and processes the game at high level. He s a guy teammates will gravitate to on the floor and in the locker room and he s also a really good passer that can orchestrate the offense and generate looks for his guys. Teammates will love playing with him. NBA scout

I m expecting a big season from Kaluma, and, after Terquavion Smith, he could be the first returning college player selected in June. He s got the tools, body and energy to be an NBA starter and I m looking forward to seeing improvements in his shooting and decisionmaking. He s a potential late lottery pick in my eyes, but it s all going to depend on the jumper. Rafael Barlowe

Kaluma s got an NBA body which allows him to play multiple ways and he can play multiple positions defensively. The question is how reliable will his jump shot be and how can he diversify his offensive game? NBA scout

Walsh is bouncy and long with a crazy competitive fire and can defend all over the floor. He s at his best when he s attacking and running in transition. The biggest concern is his jumper as he s sometimes reluctant to shoot from deep. Rafael Barlowe

The way he moves ... I can t even find a comparison. You don t see that often, at 6 7 with a 7 3 wingspan and ball skills. And he s a freak competitor with a great motor. His ceiling is pretty high. He comes from a great family and talentwise he s a monster. NBA scout

Jett seems to have been under the radar as an NBA prospect and was overshadowed by his high school teammates but there s a chance he could be the first player selected next June. As crazy as it sounds he s trending in the right direction and is going to go from off most draft boards to the lottery.

JETT HOWARD

Baba is one of the highest upside prospects in this class. His combination of size, length, skill and athleticism along with his shooting makes him unique. I never want to compare anyone to Giannis, but Baba has similar physical tools. Giannis is a different monster as far as drive, determination and motor, but if Baba can become half of what Giannis is then he ll have a really good NBA career.

Nnaji s a 6’10” man child who s the international version of Jalen Duren.He failed to impress me when I scouted him play against his peers, but looked like a legit first round NBA prospect when he saw action with the Barcelona s senior team. He didn t put up eye popping numbers, but when you consider 17 years olds rarely see minutes in Spain s domestic league and in the EuroLeague, you have to be intrigued. — Rafael Barlowe I have him anywhere from mid to late first round. Although his upside is pretty limited and I don’t think he’ll be able to expand his game that much. He has an NBA body and I think he’ll be a rim runner, lob threat and an energy guy.” — NBA scout
