He’s 18 and the best player in college basketball.

College basketball is terrible. It doesn't matter what Boozer does in the NCAA. What matters is doing those same things in the NBA.

Yes there are always unknowns, but this kid won't suddenly get rid of his slow tree-trunk legs and hard hands when he gets to the League. Or grow 3 more inches.

You’re right, nothing matters in college basketball. You can’t say anything about college basketball players playing college basketball because it’s meaningless. You can gain nothing from watching college players play basketball.

Shut down the thread.

I think Peterson and Booz are in their own tier. Nice to see Booz dominate some some better competition.

I don’t see a good reason to have AJ in a tier with them instead of a tier with Wilson besides preseason hype

For me personally I feel more comfortable putting Wilson up a tier than taking anyone down a tier. Peterson hasn't really had a chance to do anything to separate himself. AJ could easily have a 30+ game soon and people would be taking about him as a #1 pick. Boozer was just recently talked about as a guy who couldn't play well against good teams and with one good game he's him. It's too fluid currently for my liking. I'll wait for more stuff to play out.

Cam Boozers game is kind of weird and I couldn’t put my finger on it but now I think I can and that is: ugly. In a way it reminds me of LeBron that his drives aren’t elegant but a lot of strength getting to the hole. I think the question is, will he be quick enough against athletic bigs in the nba. I think his game is diverse enough that he’ll be ok.

Carlos must be jealous of his sons’ hair. Or tell them to enjoy it while it lasts.

Fair enough. I guess my starting point on all these guys is mostly what I hear/read about them. Peterson had a lot of hype and for me he delivered on that. Don’t see a reason to change my opinion about him (which isn’t a very strong one tbf). Same goes for Booz, though he’s had some ups and downs.

AJ, otoh, is not as good as I expected. I had an impression of him that he’d be further along shooting. So I don’t feel good keeping him up there with Pete or Booz. I already had AJ third.

If I knew nothing before the year, I’d have Wilson ahead of AJ right now. But this early in the preseason prior is still a big factor for me.

Makes sense, and just to be clear I wasn't saying you were wrong, just stating how I'm currently thinking about things.

I watched a total of 4 high school games of Peterson and saw him shoot his team out of a few games, so my opinion of him was lower than consensus coming in to the season. I like what I've seen so far at Kansas, but he hasn't played enough to separate yet.
