me likely, we'll see if the scoring repertoire and production holds up the rest of the way but he's lighting everyone up right now, strong PG traits...top 25 guy possibly

if the season ended today, thornton would be first team AA. incredible college player. no idea what kind of NBA prospect he is.

thoughts on his backcourt mate, Roddy Gayle? I haven't seen him at all since HS, but putting up 14 ppg on 64% TS, 6 rebs and 4 assists at 6'4". no idea if he can or if he is playing much point for them, but a 27% assist percentage may be a good sign for a 6'4" guard.

Okpara seems to me the best prospect on that team and his offense is rough.
I was right about 3 point shooting. I expect to be right about Tacko Fall. Some coach will figure out how to use Tacko Fall. This movement towards undersized centers will sweep ng back. Back to the basket scorers will return to the NBA.

Devin Royal is the imo that has a very outside chance of being their best prospect, guy is still very rough around the edges but I like the profile and he was a dog in HS

Really impressive so far. Supporting a ridiculous AST:TO ratio. Great Free Throw Rate. Hard not to see a lot of potential here, especially at 6' 2" and 215 lbs.
