You won’t find many players drafted 56th overall with the upside of Vsevold Ishchenko But with his combination of height, handle, and feel, Ishchenko is an interesting developmental product for Dallas

It’s going to be a HARD rookie season, but we can see Keaton Wagler learning how to deal with physicality in real time Here, he withstands the pressure, snakes the screen to create space, and finds a way to get his feet into the paint for the dump off

I hope whomever was rooting against Cooper Flagg enjoyed the first few weeks of the season, because he’s turning the corner & his confidence is climbing Like I said in my Rookie Ladder 2 weeks ago, he was always going to work his way up towards the top

Some people forget that Cooper Flagg reclassified into the ‘25 Draft Class and that he’s ONLY 18 years old He’s the YOUNGEST player in the league & should be lacing up for Duke, but, instead, was a consensus #1 overall pick And he’s doing stuff like this

Yaxel Lendeborg missed three years of High School ball because of academic struggles He worked to improve his grades and was able to JUST make a team before the season ended, and performed well enough to make it to a community college, where he then became the NJCAA’s all-time leading rebounder He then transferred to UAB, where he became one of two players in Division I history to record over 600 points, 400 rebounds and 150 assists in a single season. The other player is Larry Bird. Afterwards, he transferred to Michigan and performed well enough to be a potential first rounder in the ‘25 draft But he stayed and wanted to build upon that legacy and lift up his draft stock even more. And he did just that, becoming a national champion and a potential lottery level draft pick. Yaxel’s story isn’t one that should be ridiculed. It should be one that’s praised — because worked hard at every level to get to where he’s at

Danny Wolf is not just dribbling into step-back 3s, but he’s also dribble-driving and busting out sky hooks Offensively, he’s checking a lot of the boxes you want out of a modern big and he’s also showing he can share the floor with multiple other bigs

VJ Edgecombe was my 4th best prospect on my big board, in a tier with Ace Bailey, as both had near identical grades At the time, I argued Ace was the better pick for Philly because of his size & how his shotmaking would synergize I don’t mind being wrong

This is the part of Ace Bailey’s game that had GMs and scouts enamored: high-level shotmaking and footwork that can evolve into being a true NBA-level 1st option The question is how well he can does this against NBA-level defenders with more athleticism and size

But..I want to have an impact, and I want to counteract this negative carbon footprint through whatever impact I can, financially [or] socially, I want to have an impact for the future...Investing, yes, but not for profit.”

Nikola Kusturica, at just 17, already carries the world on his shoulders He’s already been tabbed as Serbia’s greatest young talent and JUST signed a $12 million NIL deal to play at UCLA When you’re that highly acclaimed AND that highly paid, the spotlight will only grow But stars are meant to perform under a spotlight, and Kusturica looks every bit like a future (super)star His ability to handle the ball and get into his shots is incredibly advanced for his size and age He’s also already scoring at all 3 levels, using a mixture of pace and physicality And, to top it off, his work ethic and motor are elite, so he projects as a defensive leader and the backbone of a team on both ends of the court

Keep in mind, Christian Anderson shot 41.5% from 3 on a relatively high volume And over half of his 3PAs were unassisted and self created Add that on top of a strong 74.2% at the rim and a 2.3 ast/to ratio, and you have yourself a potential steal
