Newell could be good. IDK, he just reminds me a lot of Bagley, and Bagley could have been really good (and he was much better than Newell). I just wouldnt be excited about him, especially with our roster.

in the annoyingly likely case we don't get Flagg, good choices I think would be VJ Edgecomb, Ace Bailey, Egor Demin, Liam Mcneeley, Tre Johnson, Asa Newell, Carter Bryant, and Kasparas Jakucionis. Pretty much in that order too. Those guys could mold with the Jazz so well, and have good potential.

A shiftier Tatum who plays faster.

After Cooper Flagg went beserk at the Steph Curry camp in 2023, he's been mainstream since. He was highly touted but not highly known before.
Brother that post was months before he reclassified for the 2025 draft. Flagg was in the 2026 class before he reclassified a couple months after my post.
Bagley is exactly the guy I thought of....I think Bagley was better coming out of Duke, but I would take that chance again on a similar prospect. I would be more excited about Newell if the shooting improves or if the film is as eye popping as some people say. I think his shot has gone in a lot more after a poor start.
I don't think anyone excites me too much outside of the top 4, so he might come into play if the lotto gods do not favor us.
lol at Kasparas being at the end of that list.
maybe it is just me, but i think Kas is far higher on your list. kas maybe the second best player in this drat. maybe third. he is much better than Egor.
Should Ian Jackson and Tre Johnson be talked about more closely? Ian Jackson is a year older (and very old for a freshman) and listed shorter, but I might like his game a bit more. He applies more pressure to the rim vs Tre who is more of a mid range guy.
Hes a very talented scorer. I just dont know what else he does. Hilariously low assist rate. If he measures out well, I'd be higher on him. As it stands, he's probably in the 15-20 range for me and certainly not higher than Johnson.
