.Duncanville High School Football 🏈’s Zachery Turner was a dangerous weapon for the Panthers at Tight End. A part of an elite receiving corps, Turner's sure hands consistently moved the chains for Duncanville this season. Despite being primarily a pass catcher, Turner has great blocking ability in the run game as well. He racked up 37 catches and 8 TDs this season at over 14 yards per catch. Turner is staying in DFW to play for SMU Football and is our Parker University MVP.

De’Zhaun Stribling (Ole Miss WR) has gotten shockingly little draft coverage. • Fluid mover who builds speed quickly and eats up space against off coverage while consistently threatening defenses downfield. • Brings ideal outside size with strong hands and body control, wins at the catch point, and can produce at every level of the field. • Polished route runner — does a great job settling vs. zone and creating separation vs. man, especially on curls, comebacks, and intermediate concepts. • Shows the tools to beat press with footwork and timing, and tracks the ball naturally downfield for explosive plays. There were some questions about his speed and playmaking ability, but he silenced those with a 4.36 40 time and a 9.88 RAS score. A player I could see sneaking into Round 3 when it’s all said and done.

#Commanders OC David Blough wants to model his offense after Ben Johnson While he previously said that he wanted to feed Terry McLaurin 10 targets per game, I wouldn't be surprised if Antonio Williams becomes a target monster A Ben Johnson offense requires a receiver(s) who consistently control the middle of the field — and with Williams' slot/Z versatility, his role could be similar to Luther Burden's in Chicago Burden took 47.4% of plays from the slot and 51.7% from out wide last season, per PFF He came alive at the end of the year but still averaged 2.34 yards/route for the season, which is higher than Terry McLaurin's career best Watch how frequently Burden was sent (and won) over the middle of the field.

President Ahmad Al-Sharaa participates in a dialogue session at the Royal Institute of International Affairs “Chatham House” in London, UK. 📌 The UK has contributed to supporting Syria and lifting sanctions on the Syrian people. Today, we held fruitful meetings that will further strengthen relations. 📌 Regarding internal affairs in Syria, we conducted a national dialogue that produced recommendations, as well as the constitutional declaration. We also held parliamentary elections, whose first session will begin next month. By the end of the transitional period, we will have paved the way for free elections in Syria. 📌 After the formation of the parliament, committees will be established to revise the constitution. 📌 The constitution defines the role of the head of state and the enforcement of law, rather than imposing new laws on the people. 📌 We held dialogues with the SDF; military confrontation was not our option. 📌 The Syrian state enjoys both societal and international legitimacy. 📌 SDF forces are now being integrated into the state in a proper manner. 📌 Our policy has been clear since entering Damascus, and we have been cautious in opening relations with Iran up to this moment. 📌 We advised adopting a negotiated approach in dealing with Iran, avoiding military options. 📌 Since our return to Damascus, weapons have been centralized under state control and the rule of law has been enforced; Syria cannot have armed factions and militias. 📌 The Syrian people need to establish stability and facilitate the return of refugees. 📌 Russian bases in Syria will be converted into training centers for the Syrian army. 📌 Israel has dealt with Syria negatively; we attempted to reach positive outcomes through dialogue, but everything changed at the last moment. 📌 I did not agree with the policies of al-Qaeda and did not share their convictions, so I did not continue with them. 📌 We adopt a different approach in Syria to avoid repeating the mistakes of past experiences. 📌 Syria stands in solidarity with Gaza, having suffered as the people of Gaza have. 📌 There are historical relations between Russia and Syria. Being in the White House one day and the Kremlin another shows the activity of Syrian diplomacy. 📌 We do not have official relations with Iran. 📌 We warn against the influence of random, uncoordinated policies on the scene and their negative effects on the region and Gulf countries. 📌 There are historical circumstances affecting the region, but from the very first moment, we sought to keep Syria away from regional tensions. 📌 We try to assess matters carefully to avoid being targeted and forced to respond. 📌 We have set standards to hold accountable those who committed crimes in Syria over the past 14 years. 📌 One of the priorities of Syrian policy is transitional justice, which requires institutional building and clear legal references so that everyone who committed crimes can be held accountable. 📌 Syria was isolated from the world in the past, and we have taken many measures to end this isolation. 📌 The return of Syrian refugees is linked to the reconstruction of Syria. 📌 We are part of those affected by the crimes of the previous regime. 📌 It is important that we have passed many critical stages, particularly the fall of the previous regime, which opened the way for refugees to return. 📌 We have taken a path in reconstruction through investment, turning Syria into an investment opportunity. 📌 European countries welcomed Syrian refugees, and this generosity should not end negatively. We hope the return will be voluntary for those who wish. 📌 Key elements include restoring national belonging, reconstruction, and providing job opportunities to encourage refugees to return. We have also proposed investment opportunities for returning refugees to transfer their diaspora experience to their homeland.

“What a beautiful ball by Spencer Rattler.” - CBS Sports I’ve been asked what I think of Rattler’s performance today. He was my QB1 in the 2024 NFL Draft. My response — He was this close to sending the game into overtime against the Cardinals who finished last season with the No. 15 ranked pass defense and an 8-9 talent level in 2024. Arizona was up 20-10 at the start of the 4th quarter. He showed what he’s made of battling back. He responded well to game situation adversity by getting his team in position to go into overtime, and that Cardinals defense knew he had to pass in the 4th quarter (especially at the end). I picked the Saints as my surprise NFC team this season. Two NFC teams made the playoffs in 2024 with 10 wins. Rattler and the #Saints took an 8-9 talent level team to the wire and their defense also is improved. Last season per Fox Sports the #Saints had the No. 30 ranked defense giving up 379.9 yards per game. Against the Cardinals the defense gave up 276 yards (ESPN). Rattler did not turn the ball over and was sacked one time. I’m encouraged. According to Google AI, “The claim that the Arizona Cardinals have one of the hardest defenses to read is well supported.” This was his 7th NFL start. Bottom line — the Saints and Rattler lost to the Cardinals 20-13. He went 27 of 46 (58.7%) for 214 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT.

The 49ers need Ricky Pearsall to become a 1b WR. That’s what they drafted him in the 1st round to be. They let go Deebo Samuel, Juan Jennings and in a way Brandon Aiyuk because they believe in Ricky Pearsal. RICKYYYYYY has played in 19 games and missed 14 games in his career including 6 due to a gun shot wound. So now the 49ers have brought in THE MOST UNDER-APPRECIATED WR IN NFL HISTORY in Mike Evans, but they need Ricky to be Mike’s Robin like Chris Godwin Jr was. Mike Evans and Chris Godwin Jr. combined for 20 touchdowns in 2020 when they won the Super Bowl. They both had 1,000 yards receiving in the same season 4 times and combined for 15 or more touchdowns 6 times in 9 years. That is the production the 49ers need from this WR group to keep up with the Seahawks and the Rams. Mike Evans even at 32 going on 33 years old, will still draw coverage. Ricky Pearsall has the talent to do it and showed flashes last year against the Seahawks and Cardinals when he had 104 and 117 yards receiving. He now has to make defenses respect him and show his 49ers teammates and the organization that he can stay healthy to be the guy they drafted him to be. If Ricky doesn’t show it this year, the 49ers won’t hesitate to give the reigns to 2nd round Rookie De’Zhaun Stribling who they believe was the best WR in this year’s draft. It’s a make or break year for Ricky Pearsall. And his spot in the offense is the key for the 49ers Super Bowl run. #49ers #SanFrancisco #RG3 #OuttaPocket #NFL #FoxSports

The scandal that puts Canadians in multigenerational debt: The Gordie Howe International Bridge project that will connect Detroit to Windsor was pitched as a billion dollar project in 2012 by the Harper government. The trouble is that the cost is now estimated to be around $7 billion dollars. However, studies suggest toll revenue will never be enough to recoup the cost, and with interest payments the bridge will likely require decades of taxpayer subsidies that could amount to $52 billion dollars. Here are the facts: 📌 There is an already existing bridge in the area called the Ambassador bridge which offered to build a second span for free. 📌 American government is not paying a dime for the project, and Canada is paying for all costs including the custom compound and the highway interchange on U.S. soil. 📌 In 2010 the government manufactured the DRIC report to justify the new bridge, it had gross miscalculations and inaccuracies in projecting the cross border traffic to increase over decades to come. 📌 Empirical data shows that cross border traffic has overall declined more than 50% in the area for last 2 decades, and there’s no reason for it to rebound. 📌 Studies demonstrate that even if the traffic stopped declining, and Gordie Howe were to charge 3 times more in toll than the ambassador bridge next door, and drivers were to prefer to chose paying more for some reason, taxpayers would still have to subsidize the bridge for at least 6 decades. 📌 The procurement process was shady as transparency and fairness letters were issued 1 day before the awarding. 📌 AECON dropped out of the bidding process the last business day, and then was allowed back in to join the winning consortium for reasons unknown. 📌 The construction giants that bid against each other in this project are actively working together on other multi billion dollar P3 projects across Canada while bidding against each other in other projects. 📌 Amarjeet Sohi was the infrastructure minister at the time whose brother’s trucking company that he did not disclose was already doing business with VINCI in the federally funded Regina bypass project. Navdeep Bains blocked AECON’s sale to China, and Sohi allowed AECON to join back into this dream project for some reason. Bains was also giving sole sourced contracts to Sohi’s brother’s trucking company. 📌 WDBA says they expect to finish off paying the bridge in 30 years by collecting toll revenue, and then start splitting the revenues with the state of Michigan. But given that toll revenue alone will not even be enough to pay the hundreds of millions of dollars in annual interest, the Michigan taxpayers might be asked to pay for the bridge to make up for the shortfalls in toll revenue. 📌 Canadian politicians both liberal and conservative have put Canadians in multigenerational debt by actively participating with nefarious construction giants. 📌 Allegations of bid-rigging are worrisome as corrupt companies like SNC-Lavalin participated in the bidding while they were under a 10-year ban by the World Bank for committing corruption in the poorest countries of the world. 📌ACS which the project was awarded to also have a history of corruption around the world. 📌 VINCI which partnered up with SNC on the GHIB project was already working with Sohi’s brother’s trucking company on the Regina bypass project. This is how an unnecessary bridge that was pitched as a billion dollar project ended up costing $7 billion dollars, and will require tens of billions of dollars in subsidies to make up for the shortfall in toll revenue. Only Amarjert Sohi and his nefarious nexus Including domestic and foreign construction giants will benefit at the cost of Canadian and U.S. taxpayers. I asked a legal scholar who’s considered to be the leading authority on extradition law if these Canadian politicians could be extradited to U.S. Check out the comment section to watch my full report.

I need to make this abundantly clear, after following this case now since August 2023, I can see how this wretched diabolical psychopath operates. She is starting to form a brand new narrative for who is responsible for John’s death. Here are the former targets of Read’s narrative to blame someone else for what she did. 1) It was a plow. 2)It was Chloe, the Albert’s dog 3) It was Jennifer McCabe 4) It was Colin Albert 5) It was Brian Albert 6)It was all 3 of these people. The following people are part of the conspiracy according to Karen, and are covering up what Jenn, Colin, Brian A, & Brian H did 📌Brian Albert Jr. 📌Julie Nagel 📌Sarah Levinson 📌Allie McCabe 📌Julie Albert 📌The EMT’s on the scene the morning John was found 📌The Canton PD 📌Mass State Police 📌Ian Whiffin: an expert in digital forensics who currently serves as a Senior Technical Product Manager at Cellebrite. 📌Dr. Jessica Hyde: a high-profile digital forensics examiner, consultant, and educator. *It’s important to note that any friends & family of the aforementioned, would be looked upon by Read & her attorneys of being complicit in the conspiracy if they were to speak out to support their family and/or friends. THERE IS NOT ONE SHRED OF EVIDENCE THAT ANYONE MENTIONED ABOVE, HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE DEATH OF JOHN O’KEEFE. Here are the basic facts and evidence that point directly to Karen Read. The digital data shows: 📌Karen backed her SUV up going 24 MPH, with the gas pedal pressed at 75% throttle. What that means is her gas pedal was almost completely pressed to the floor of the vehicle. 📌 Read's 2021 Lexus LX 570 SUV recorded a "trigger event" when put in reverse, corresponding to the time of the fatal strike of John O’Keefe. O'Keefe's iPhone, including Health app steps, Doppler data, and battery temperature, forensic experts testified that the phone's last recorded movement stopped at 12:32 a.m., right around the same time the SUV was in reverse. 📌A Canton Police Department cruiser responding to check on John O’Keefe's niece and nephew captured footage of Karen Read’s broken tail light at 8:23 a.m.on January 29, 2022, via the vehicle camera on law enforcement’s vehicle. 📌 Karen relayed through the intermediary to the blogger, that her taillight was already broken at 5:08 AM. 📌Pieces of her tail light were found at the scene (34 Fairview) 📌 microscopic pieces of tail light were found embedded in John’s clothing. 📌 Karen herself told several first responders, and witnesses testified during the trial, that Karen Read made statements at the scene admitting she hit John O’Keefe. 📌 Karen told investigators the afternoon of the horrific event, that John did not go into the house. Since then, Karen’s version of whether John went into the home at 34 Fairview has changed multiple times. Presently her story is that he did go into the home. (He didn’t) ‼️This is not a complicated case, this is a woman who was enraged, drunk, and in a fit of rage, backed her vehicle up into John, struck him, and left him to die in the cold. Instead of taking accountability, she is now trying to blame his death on John’s own friends, to avoid taking any accountability for what she did. She has destroyed people’s, including at the time, an 18 year old young man named Colin albert, who was not even inside the home by the time Karen had arrived. ‼️ given all of this evidence, if you still believe that Karen Read is innocent, then you are as dumb as a bag of damn rocks! 🚨 that brings me back to the original purpose of this post. She is now trying to put the blame on Michael Proctor. Michael Proctor‘s horrific, disgusting, and despicable text messages are just that, but they have nothing to do with Karen Read herself, or his investigation of her case. ‼️The FBI went through Michael Proctor‘s phone & found ZERO evidence of a coverup or a conspiracy. Read is a manipulative, lying, narcissist, & needs to be held accountable for the death of John O’Keefe.

Been watching a lot of footage of 2028 QB and now Alabama commit Charles Scott Jr. According to 247 in 2025 the 6’5, 255 lb sophomore threw for around 3,600 yards and 41 TDS on 178 completions. Only throwing 4 INTs!!! Scott Jr (son of his high school coach) has obvious massive upside given his size. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that already as a sophomore, he has an SEC build. The Good: - Kid is LARGE, much like Alabama’s recent five star commit Elijah Haven, Scott’s size allows him a full view of everything going on around him on the field. Mechanics benefit from his size - strong throwing platform. - Flashes plenty of natural strengths, including an explosive arm that doesn’t seem to have to work very hard to push the ball vertically. - Even as a developing HS quarterback, Scott Jr already shows a lot of finesse. Accuracy in highlight tape (provided below from Scottboyz on YouTube) is on the upswing, especially on layered and touch passes. - Although not technically a massive run threat, Scott Jr, given his size, can stress defenders on the ground, especially in short yardage situations. Areas for Refinement: - Shows promise with timing routes, but will get better as he matures over the next couple of season. - Mechanics are not fully polished as to be expected from a young QB, but raw traits still shine. Footwork under pressure! - Will grow into faster processing speeds as he continues his path. Will need this as he makes the talent jump to the SEC. All-in-all, this is a rising recruit in the 2028 class - one that will garner a ton of attention over the next several months, especially now that Alabama fully seated at the head of the table. Another potential eval masterclass from Kalen DeBoer, Ryan Grubb, and Bryan Ellis. The scheme fit for Scott Jr is perfect at Alabama. The size and arm talent are there, with touch on the way. Combined with intangibles such as high football IQ (coaches son) and a very strong relationship with Tide staff - this is a solid pickup for Alabama. The QB position remains in great hands moving forward in Tuscaloosa.

Accuracy in highlight tape (provided below from Scottboyz on YouTube) is on the upswing, especially on layered and touch passes. - Although not technically a massive run threat, Scott Jr, given his size, can stress defenders on the ground, especially in short yardage situations. Areas for Refinement: - Shows promise with timing routes, but will get better as he matures over the next couple of season. - Mechanics are not fully polished as to be expected from a young QB, but raw traits still shine. Footwork under pressure! - Will grow into faster processing speeds as he continues his path. Will need this as he makes the talent jump to the SEC. All-in-all, this is a rising recruit in the 2028 class - one that will garner a ton of attention over the next several months, especially now that Alabama fully seated at the head of the table. Another potential eval masterclass from Kalen DeBoer, Ryan Grubb, and Bryan Ellis. The scheme fit for Scott Jr is perfect at Alabama. The size and arm talent are there, with touch on the way. Combined with intangibles such as high football IQ (coaches son) and a very strong relationship with Tide staff - this is a solid pickup for Alabama. The QB position remains in great hands moving forward in Tuscaloosa.

Super Bowl MVP Why do the odds on Polymarket get it wrong, while the statistics point us to one winner? Super Bowl MVP is always 50% statistics and 50% storyline. We have 4 finalists, but in my opinion there are only two real contenders. - Sam Darnold (The Redemption Arc) He has the strongest media narrative so to speak, a shot-down pilot who returned from hell. His strengths: if he delivers a clean game (250+ yards, 2 TD, 0 INT), journalists will give him the vote simply for the beautiful comeback story. His weaknesses: under pressure in finals, Darnold is still prone to hero ball, risky throws that turn into interceptions. MVPs are not given for mistakes. - Jaxon Smith-Njigba (The Volume King) for me he is Cooper Kupp 2.0 His strengths: in games where the pass rush eats the quarterback alive, JSN becomes the life ring, 10–12 catches per game is his norm. His weaknesses: receivers become MVP only when they completely overshadow their QB. He needs 150+ yards and at least 2 touchdowns to take the statuette. - Kenneth Walker III (The Home Run Hitter) The most explosive running back in the league. His strengths: he is the only one here who can change the course of the game with one touch (70-yard TD run). His weaknesses: the modern NFL, in my opinion, is a passing league. For an RB to become MVP, he needs to gain 150+ rushing yards, which against elite defenses in the final is almost unrealistic. - Drake Maye (The Chosen One) His strengths: he plays like a veteran in the body of an athlete. His ability to extend plays with his legs (scramble) and throw into tight windows is exactly what creates TV “highlights”. His weaknesses: inexperience can lead to a slow start in the first quarter. I bet that the MVP will be taken by DRAKE MAYE Why exactly will he take the award? Three iron arguments: - Quarterback Bias The math is simple: over the last 15 years, quarterbacks have become MVP in 70% of cases. If Maye’s team wins, the award is automatically given to him. To change this, someone else needs to deliver a historic performance (hat trick), which in a final is almost unrealistic. - Clutch Factor Maye is the king of decisive moments. He showed the best numbers in the entire league in the metric “EPA per play” specifically in the 4th quarter and on third downs. And Super Bowls are won precisely under the pressure of the final minutes. - Versatility (The Dual Threat) Look at the difference in styles: •Darnold is only passing (Pocket Passer). •Walker is only running. •Maye is a dual threat. He breaks defensive schemes both with his arm and with his legs. The opponent’s defense simply physically will not be able to fully contain him. I bet here :

⬛ Austin Ekeler: From D2 to the League He ran for 5,857 yards at Western Colorado Football. Signed with the Los Angeles Chargers as an undrafted free agent. Led the NFL in touchdowns twice. Now with the Washington Commanders and still producing strong. He’s one of the best to ever come out of Division II. ⬇️ Western State, now Western Colorado, was the only program that offered him a shot at running back. He stayed four full years and became one of the most productive players the RMAC has ever seen. He averaged 146 rushing yards and 1.6 touchdowns per game over 40 starts. He put together one of the strongest careers in D2 history...and he didn’t have to leave to do it. At Western, Ekeler dominated. He averaged more than 100 rushing yards per game across four seasons, led the country in all-purpose yards in 2015, and earned academic honors alongside his on-field production. By the time he wrapped up his senior year, he was a Harlon Hill finalist with nearly 6,000 rushing yards to his name. His work was undeniable. But he still didn’t get a Combine invite. The draft came and went. No calls. Then the Los Angeles Chargers brought him into camp on a rookie deal and gave him a shot. He took it from there. He made the roster as a rookie and started producing immediately. First as a change-of-pace option. Then as a third-down threat. Then as the guy. In 2021 and 2022, he led the NFL in total touchdowns. He stacked back-to-back seasons with more than 1,500 scrimmage yards and at least 15 total scores. He caught 107 passes in 2022, the most by any running back in Los Angeles Chargers history. The production hasn’t slowed down. In 2024, he signed with the Washington Commanders. He’s still outworking people. Division II didn’t slow him down. It prepared him. The hours. The discipline. The ability to carry the weight of a program while juggling everything else college throws at you. That’s what this level teaches. That’s why it sticks. There are players right now doing the same thing. Grinding through the spring, stacking film, putting together complete seasons. Some will make it.

After watching the tape back today, I can confidently say this: Taylen Green is one of the most physically gifted quarterbacks in the 2026 draft class. At 6-6, 225 pounds, Green looks like a prototype, and his tools absolutely jump off the screen. He owns top-tier arm talent and arm strength, capable of driving the ball outside the numbers and pushing it vertically with ease. Deep shots carry real velocity without him needing a perfect platform, and he can flick it 50+ yards without straining. What separates Green is his athletic ability for his size. He’s a legitimate threat as a runner, with long-striding speed and power that makes him difficult to bring down in the open field. Designed QB runs, scrambles, and broken-play creation are all part of his game, and defensive backs often underestimate how fast he closes space. Stylistically, Green’s game has clear shades of Vince Young; the combination of length, arm strength, and smooth, gliding athleticism puts constant stress on a defense. Like Young, he can punish teams when structure breaks down and turn chaos into chunk plays. Green is still refining his consistency and processing, along with the other items that go along with playing QB, but the upside is undeniable. By the time you factor in his physical traits and dual-threat ceiling, I currently view Taylen Green as a top 100 pick with the potential to climb even higher as his game continues to mature.

Nate Bittle is joining the Toronto Raptors on an Exhibit-10 deal. This is a long-term bet on development but I'd like to make a case for why Nate has a better shot to make it than most 7 footers who went undrafted. 1. He's smart. This doesn't just mean he's a mature, level-headed 23 year-old with good habits and work ethic, but he's also quite intelligent on the court. He processes feedback well, makes timely reads, and picks his spots pretty well. Apart from a few unforced turnovers and some foul trouble earlier in his college career, I'm not worried about his basketball brain. 2. He can shoot. And I mean shoot shoot. Not big man shoot. He has excellent touch indicators, and the shot should go in more than it actually does. Repeatable, high and quick release. Pulls with an abundance of sureness and confidence. 3. Improvement arc. His role expanded with the Ducks through the years and he just found a way to get better. There's no quantum leaps here, nor will 1 be coming. But he absolutely knows who he is as a player. 4. He can really pass. Not exceptionally. But he at least projects to be as good a passer as Jakob Poeltl, which is a huge win. 5. True 7-footer with a 7'6 wingspan. Gets long and big around the basket. Huge standing reach and plays with it. 6. Got stronger. Way too many people assume Nate is 7'1 215. Spoke to someone close to the source close to the situation who said he was closer to 7'1 245 and got up to 255 by the G League combine. That's BIG. 7. He's a drop big. Yes. But he's good at it. And I think his lateral quickness is better than people think it is. 8. Wingspan. He measured out with the largest wingspan in this draft at 7'6, tied with 12th overall pick Aday Mara. However, his Height (7'0) to Wingspan (7'6) differential of 6 inches is the biggest of any player in this draft north of 6'11. 9. He's got a nasty streak. He protects the rim, he goes up strong. Did he at times get bumped off his spot? Yes. But he competes man. 10. His athleticism concerns are over-emphasized. A 26 inch vertical matters way less when you're this big. By no means is this a big vertical lob threat who jumps out of the gym, but he rolls well, rolls hard, finishes well and has excellent touch on a handful of replicable post moves. For the Raptors, if ever he develops, he's as good if not a better bet than Brendan Carlsen. Same size, but a couple of years younger and a much more productive bet against better competition. Not to mention, he's a better defender passer and rebounder than Carlsen. I think he'll eventually work somewhere. Not spectacular. But 7'1 depth bigs who have this much game are a rare find.

For the record, I am much more of a college basketball enthusiast than an NBA Draft expert. One thing that has stood out to me throughout this draft cycle, however, is how little Richie Saunders has been discussed relative to his production. Obviously, age, injury concerns, and a lack of elite physical tools have all limited his draft buzz. Those concerns are fair. Still, Saunders was nothing short of one of the most productive and efficient scorers in college basketball last season. Richie Saunders was one of only 10 Power Conference players last season to post a True Shooting Percentage of at least 63% while attempting 8.5 or more three-pointers per 40 minutes. Among that group, he ranked second in points per 40 minutes. Additionally, Saunders was one of only two players in that same group to also post a Free Throw Attempt Rate of at least 35%, highlighting not only his perimeter shooting ability but also his effectiveness at generating rim pressure. He also finished an impressive 67% of his attempts at the rim. The combination of high-volume shooting, elite efficiency, and consistent rim pressure provides a strong statistical foundation for his NBA projection. Saunders projects as a prototypical floor-spacing possession finisher at the NBA level. An overwhelming 90.5% of his field goal attempts last season came either at the rim or from beyond the three-point line, reflecting the type of shot profile NBA teams covet for his archetype. While Saunders was assisted on the majority of his made baskets, the numbers do not suggest a player who is completely dependent on others to create offense. 34.1% of his made two-point field goals were assisted (64th percentile) and 92.2% of his made three-pointers were assisted (65th percentile), reinforcing his projection as a high-level off-ball floor spacer. Saunders also converted 44.1% of his corner three-point attempts, another indicator that his shooting should translate well to an NBA role. Defense is unlikely to be Saunders' calling card at the next level, but there are indicators that suggest he can hold his own. While steal percentage can sometimes be misleading, Saunders posted a strong 3.1% STL%, which, when paired with his reported +5-inch wingspan, points toward solid anticipation and the ability to disrupt passing lanes on the perimeter. Additionally, his 0.93x Personal Foul Efficiency (90th percentile) is noteworthy. Saunders consistently avoided unnecessary fouls while remaining engaged defensively, a valuable trait for role players expected to stay on the floor. When projecting Saunders' offensive role, players such as Cameron Johnson, AJ Green, Max Strus, and Will Richard come to mind. This comparison is not necessarily about overall talent level, but rather the archetype: floor-spacing wings who thrive playing alongside higher-usage creators, make quick decisions, punish defensive mistakes, and provide offensive value without requiring heavy on-ball responsibility. With Saunders on the floor, BYU was better in nearly every meaningful offensive category. Most notably the following listed below. On/Off ORTG: 125.3/114.3 TS%: 59.6%/56.9% A:T Ratio: 1.39/1.06 The offensive improvements are significant, but what may be even more impressive is Saunders' ability to elevate the players around him. There may be no better example than fellow BYU star and potential No. 1 overall pick AJ Dybantsa. Dybantsa saw increases in TS%, 2P%, 3P%, and FTAr when sharing the floor with Saunders, illustrating the value of Saunders' spacing, gravity, and willingness to play within a complementary role. Elite complementary players are difficult to find, and Saunders consistently demonstrated an ability to make life easier for those around him. Saunders' floor-spacing ability is amplified by the speed of his release and his willingness to fire immediately off the catch. His ability to quickly get into his shot forces defenses to close out aggressively, creating additional opportunities for him to attack off the bounce. When defenders run him off the line, Saunders does an excellent job leveraging his shooting gravity to create straight-line drives to the rim. While he may not possess elite burst, he consistently capitalizes on defensive overreactions and attacks open space effectively. As someone who primarily evaluates college basketball rather than NBA draft boards, Richie Saunders has been one of the more surprising cases of this draft cycle. The concerns are understandable. He's older than the typical prospect, suffered a significant injury, and doesn't possess the type of elite physical tools that usually drive draft buzz. At the same time, it's difficult to ignore what Saunders actually produced on the court. He was one of the most efficient high-volume scorers in college basketball, combining elite shooting volume, strong rim finishing, and an ability to generate free throws at a level rarely seen from players who occupy a similar offensive role. His shot profile, floor-spacing ability, and offensive efficiency all align with the types of complementary wings that continue to carve out long NBA careers. Saunders may never be a primary creator or a player offenses are built around, but the NBA has consistently found value in wings who can space the floor, attack closeouts, make quick decisions, and fit seamlessly alongside stars.
