Dylan Harper’s driving skill + deceleration ability = a scary sight in transition.

Cooper Flagg, my goodness.

Been loving the variance in Hansen Yang’s offense, offering himself as a handling big creator, P&R roll man + even as a floor spacer on the perimeter for Portland. 1.0 A/TO + 23.5% AST for Yang so far in Summer League — very strong blend of skill, feel & court mapping @ 7’1.

Jase Richardson is quietly putting together the most efficient Summer League campaign of any rookie from the 2025 Draft Class. 16.5ppg, 1.5rpg & 2.5apg on 72.2% TS (50% 3P + 73.9% at the rim) — 16.7% AST + 2.5 A/TO while taking on lead guard responsibilities. An outlier talent.

Tre Johnson SL scoring versatility. 19.5ppg on 68.8% TS (45.5% 3P + 83.3% at the rim).

Buzelis, Furphy/Jarace, K. George & TSJ

Nique Clifford has been one of the biggest standouts at the NBA Summer League & it deserves more attention. Strong playmaking display from Clifford — 1.58 A/TO + 22.4% AST through 4 games, leading Sacramento to a 4-0 record & playoff berth for the Summer League championship.

🇬🇷 Neoklis Avdalas has been nothing short of extraordinary at the #FIBAU20 Eurobasket. Averaging 13.8 PPG, 6.8 RPG & 6.6 APG, Avdalas ranks 3rd in +/- at Eurobasket — strong positional size, playmaking/driving craft + scoring versatility on display @ 6’8. 11th on my ‘26 board.

Noah Penda SL defensive playmaking. 1.7 SPG + 0.7 BPG — 37.5% dFG when guarded by Penda.

Adam Atamna, LeJuan Watts + Matt Able

The two best non-DP guards in this class, comfortably.

Excited to see what’s in store for Duke’s Isaiah Evans & his sophomore campaign. One of the premier shooters (42% 3P) in the nation last season — ranked in the 99th percentile (!) in spot-up scoring (1.41 PPP). Strong size + multi-level creation upside. One to watch for in ‘26.

Best PG in the nation, irrespective of class.

6’6 SG Isiah Harwell. Strong multi-level shotmaking (37.3% 3P + 54.5% MR) with a good combination of size, physicality + two-way skill. Great spot-up scoring with growing perimeter creation. Disruptive defender with very active hands. Solid rebounding ability. 16th on my board.

Not sure if there’s a prospect with more positional versatility + game-wrecking potential on the defensive end than UNC’s Caleb Wilson. Strong measurables (6’10 + 9’0 SR) to add onto his already high-level mobility, court coverage & defensive playmaking.

My favorite NCAA returners, as a lineup: PG: Labaron Philon SG: Anthony Robinson III SF: Kam Williams / Dailyn Swain PF: Alvaro Folgueiras C: Jayden Quaintance HM: Amael L’Etang, Wesley Yates III

Not sure if there’s a more efficient P&R operator (1.2 PPP + 64.5% eFG) in the 2026 NBA Draft cycle than Missouri’s Anthony Robinson II. I admire the playmaking craft + scoring blend on display — will enjoy keeping up with Robinson all cycle long.
