Easily put him in top 10 pick conversations, wildly impressive play from the 18 y/o.
Efficient transition scoring is one of the most overlooked aspects of team offense. With three players ranked in the top 10, Florida gained a significant advantage, laying the foundation for the fast-paced offensive scheme that propelled them to a national championship. At its…
Comparing College Basketball’s Best Point Guards
(Playmakers Edition)
Highlights:
- Fland only played 21 games, can he sustain these averages over an entire season?
- Will Big 10 competition impact Stirtz playmaking efficiency?
- How will Mark Sears departure impact Philon's…
How does Aday Mara's rim protection compare to recent draft picks?
Mara's productivity in limited minutes with UCLA last season was impressive, playing just 13 minutes per game. While his per-36 numbers are slightly inflated, it will be interesting to see how his defensive…
Few players did more for themselves this summer than Jalyn Collingwood (@ja1yn_ ) who's picked up 12 high-major offers in the last 2 months.
Collingwood's development into a knockdown shooter has been the main catalyst for his popularity this summer, pairing his shooting…
Darius Acuff's ability to knock down shots off the dribble is a key area for improvement heading into his freshman season. Through Synergy's 14 logged games, Accuf shot just 27.5% on a heavy diet of dribble jumpers (22/80)
Caleb Wilson faced off against AJ Dybantsa last summer,and put on a masterclass in defensive versatility, helpside instincts and timing as a shot-blocker. Wilson's 4 blocks on Dybantsa highlight exactly what makes him one of the most dynamic defenders in the class of 2026.…
Caleb Wilson's combination of size, length and athleticism already give him the tools to be an efficient transition scorer, cutter and play finisher but a continued development of his handle could unlock real self creation upside, as seen below. Growing his on-ball skill set will…
Cayden Boozer plays with such mature pace, hesitating for a moment when he comes off the screen, freezing both defenders, allowing him to get into the paint and forcing the help defender which opens up the lane for Caleb Wilson to cut for the dunk.

While, Labaron Philon had an impressive 2.12 AST/TO ratio, he had an unusually high 26.3% turnover percentage as a P&R ball handler which was 10.7% higher than his total TO% (15.6). With Mark Sears graduating, Philon is primed to handle to bulk of ball handling and playmaking…
Heading into his sophomore season, Labaron Philon must make significant strides as a jump shooter to solidify himself as a potential lottery pick.
At 6'3, Philon doesn't have much room to be an underwhelming shooter.
Freshmen Season:
21.7% - Guarded Catch & Shoot (10/46)…
By sliding his feet without turning his hips, Darryn Peterson gains four key defensive advantages:
1) Allows for more physical on-ball defense
2) Maintains size, as turning hips shortens strides and reach
3) Improves start/stop control by sliding on two feet, keeping momentum…
Why is Bennett Stirtz a potential lottery pick in the 2026 NBA Draft?
It all starts with his mastery in the pick-and-roll where he ranks 2nd in the NCAA in points per possession at .982 (min 250 poss)

Tounde Yessoufou defensive playmaking/instincts are incredible. Six of his nine points in The McDonald's All-American Game came from taking his steals coast-to-coast.
Decisiveness is one of the most underrated skillsets in all of basketball, having 5 guys that can make quick reads unlocks a teams offensive potential. Take it from the 2015 Atlanta Hawks...
