Relentlessly preached the importance of Jacob Grandison to the Illini lineup last season It doesn't jump off the screen, but his ability identify shooters, read + react & space the floor as a playmaker drives efficient offense Illinois were 14-2 with the 6-6 wing as a starter

Hit on Mustapha Amzil last week & I'm even more intrigued in his frontcourt counterpart, Toumani Camara 6-8 & 220lb forward who utilizes elite athleticism, instincts & versatility to make a two-way imprint The JR Georgia transfer should be a key cog on a talented Flyer squad

A special two-way sequence here from Chet Holmgren to encapsulate how rare of an evaluation he is There's no accurate comparison or blueprint for the 7-footers' off-kilter attack & monstrous range as a rim deterrer

After a change of scenery, I’m intrigued to track the role Adam Miller takes on in Baton Rouge as a Sophomore Body control, touch around the rim & ability to absorb contact will be key developments to follow after struggling as a slasher at times in orange & blue

Eric Musselman adds another blue-chip prospect in Jordan Walsh Top 10 prospect who's built significant NBA intrigue over the last few months The 6-7 & 200 pound five-star wing bolsters an already top five touted 2022 class heading to Fayetteville, including Nick Smith Jr

Miami lands their second highly-touted Midwest prospect just today as AJ Casey heads South. Lively pogo-stick athlete & grab & go threat at 6-9 who continues to expand his game. Switchy, malleable defender with lateral quickness & a high volume rebounder. High upside modern 3/4.

Kelvin Sampson and the Cougars land Jarace Walker, who's slowly become an undervalued prospect in the 2022 cycle over the last two years. Creative, high feel playmaking forward with a mature frame (6-8, 220lb) and burst. Switchy, malleable defender with mobility and toughness.
