Fun fact. Egor is the name of the turkey vulture at Tracy Aviary.Nah, wrong thread. Meant to put it in SL thread when Jones/McCain had good stretches. I guess if I had an early 2025 guy it'd be Egor.

Yeesh, Egor in the 2nd round is wild.
Malauch at 30 for now also likely wild but I can see him sliding fast if he’s raw. The top of this draft is just so damn intriguing.Yeesh, Egor in the 2nd round is wild.

I can guarantee that the top 5 will not be chalk from what it has been for most pre-season hype. One of those 5 will really let down and someone outside it will really surpriseIf I am guessing how the tiers start to shape up here... I'd guess
1- Cooper
2- Harper, Bailey, Edgecomb, Traore
3- Hugo
I could see Bailey and Hugo flipping spots. I get the feeling there are some Wiggins vibes with Bailey purely based on how some talk about him. It maybe more like Brandon Miller though were they didn't love the shot selection or whatever and in college things are different.
there are a lot of guys to like outside of the top 6 of course... 1 or 2 may pop.
Probably not. I do think those guys are all strong strong candidates to be top 6-7. Yes someone will jump up and likely someone disappoints. I just think top 7 ish will be abnormally strong this year.I can guarantee that the top 5 will not be chalk from what it has been for most pre-season hype.

Agree... I think they could cannibalize each others production/volume as well. I'd guess Ace would be the one that potentially suffers but he does have physical tools advantage.I feel like Harper and Bailey are going to have letdown seasons mostly due to the fact they chose Rutgers. I just don't understand these elite prospects not going to proven places with in place talent/coaching that will elevate them.
I'm probably missing someone obvious, but when was the last time top 5 guys went to a lackluster program and succeeded as a one and done?

I mean, there will be plenty of touches for both because the team around them is terrible unless they got some nice transfer recruits I'm unaware of. Rutgers has one other top 100 recruit from last year's recruiting class and that's it.Agree... I think they could cannibalize each others production/volume as well.

Not suggesting they drop that far, but I wouldn't be shocked if both aren't consensus top 5 after the season is done.Speaking from watching Harper and Bailey playing literally twice, I think they will be fine. Harper goes hard no matter what and so he's always going to stand out and pop off the screen. Bailey is just so long and athletic that even if he doesn't put up crazy numbers, I can't imagine him falling too much.
I can see what Cy is saying though, and that's why it will be interesting how this college season plays out. I'm still bummed that Traore decided not to play for Gonzaga.
Right but guys can get lost in the morass that is college basketball and the season is short. Ace won't go Justin Edwards or whatever but just thinking of some of the guys who's production was a bit disappointing and its usually wings.I mean, there will be plenty of touches for both because the team around them is terrible unless they got some nice transfer recruits I'm unaware of.

I don't think either will have bad production, but they might have terrible efficiency and lose a lot. They are both going to get a ton of shots.Right but guys can get lost in the morass that is college basketball and the season is short.
