Following Potential 2026 Draftees

AJ with a nasty shot block.
 
AJ first half stats:
19 points (6-10, 2-3, 5-5), 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals, 1 block.
18 minutes. If I had to choose anything to be critical of, there were times when his conditioning seemed to be lacking. Looked exhausted at times. But on the other hand he played 18 of 20 minutes and played pretty dang hard (especially for an exhibition game)
 
AJ (and the whole team) playing horrible in the second half.
 
Damn, if we could snag AJ, Peterson, or Boozer. And do it while keeping Lauri. AJ/Peterson/Boozer + Ace + Lauri + the best ones of our current young players + veterans we could get with our solid draft assets. We could be a powerhouse in 3-4 years, maybe even sooner.
 
My contrarian take is that Boozer is the clear #1, not Peterson. Dude is just a monster

Also, interesting note, Tyler Hendricks (Taylor's twin) transferred out of UCF and now plays for Utah Valley State
 
Also Riley Kugel transferred to UCF. Once thought he would be a surefire lottery prospect after his Freshman season but he fell off a cliff

All the nerds have been on team Boozer. Pete and AJ may very well be #1 type prospects as well, but I think they get a little more hype because of the aesthetics.
 
My way too early view. Booze should likely be #1 as he has a super high ceiling and very high floor too. Peterson maybe has the highest ceiling and lowest floor of the group. AJ is also awesome.

For us I'd have it Booze, Peterson, AJ... give me any of the three and I'm super happy.

#4-#6 we really need some guys to show out please.
 
Boozer is one of the greatest HS basketball players of all time, but is a little difficult to project defensively to the NBA as of now. He's a pure PF, but I'm not sure he can defend guys like Tatum. Hopefully he shows that and then I'll be very excited for him.

Peterson has huge, SGA like defensive potential for a high level creator prospect.
