Following Potential 2026 Draftees

Yesoufou or whatever looks good in that replay. Idk why but cam boozer never looks that good to me in these. Appears a little heavy footed to me

So who stood out? Cam on the same par as Dybantsa and D-Pete?

Cam is good, but he needs to expand his game to the perimeter and show he can do more playing on the ball. This was really an exhibition game, so there wasn't much half court creation going on and it's hard to tell what he can and can't do.

Nate Ament is interesting. He's very long and can shoot it. Skinny though.

Isiah Harwell shot the ball really well. He stood out and is someone to watch.

Tounde Yessoufou is physically a beast. He's probably 6'3" or 6'4", but he's built like a Lu Dort or Anthony Edwards.

Alijah Arenas is pretty talented.

There are a couple of interesting long PFs with some shooting touch -- Bundalo and Cenak.

Yeah, this was my first full game of watching any of these guys, and there isn't a lot you can take away from it since it's an all star game but I do think it's informational to see how they look vs the other top prospects. Dybantsa and Peterson have crazy functional athleticism. Boozer didn't show any of that, but looks extremely skilled for his size. I thought they were clearly best players in the game.

My takeaways from last year's game was that Harper was really good, that Flagg was in the same tier as some of the other guys, and that Queen was a guy to watch out for. It turns out 2 out of those 3 conclusions were accurate.
 
After this game my top 4 order would go:

Peterson
Dybantsa

Boozer

Ament

On my watch list is Harwell, Acuff Jr, Tounde, Arenas, Brown Jr. and Bundalo

Besides the big 3, the guy that really stood out was Tounde Yessoufou. That guy is crazy athletic and high energy. I also thought Arenas and Zai Harwell looked very good.

Soon as he stepped on the court I was like "who this Ant MF". And then he proceeded to look exactly like Ant. I am really in on him. Fantastic name too.

I was thinking the same thing. Peterson plays like Ant, and gets comp'd to him a lot and so I was trying to avoid the too frequent comparisons to Ant, but yeah Tounde really looks and moves like him on the court.
 
Isiah Harwell played really well at the McDonald's game. Also a Utah prospect, playing at Wasatch Academy.

Also, Wasatch Academy has a junior who is ranked 37th in his class with the first name "Adolph". Like who the **** names their kid Adolph?
 
Was reading an article on BYU next season and came across this quote

  • Jayden Quiantance, Arizona State — When Quiantance entered the portal yesterday, I got a text from an industry source to watch BYU. Not sure if I buy the smoke, but there’s some there. Quiantance knows Tim Fanning from their time at Overtime Elite. Quaiantance reclassified a year early and was 16 when he joined Arizona State, so he has to play in college for one more year before he goes to the NBA. Quiantance is projected by many as a top 5 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft after he averaged 9.4 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks for ASU. Quiantance also tore his ACL a month ago, which will obviously factor into teams’ decisions when they evaluate him. https://www.vanquishthefoe.com/2025...allin-hall-departures-targets-transfer-portal
