There aren’t many guards with more upside heading into this season than North Carolina’s Terrence Brown. The 6’3 Guard had a strong Junior season for an Utah where he averaged 20/2/4 on 45/33/77 splits, and finished in the top five in scoring in the B12. Brown’s elite rim pressure combined with his foul drawing, mid range scoring, and playmaking ability makes him an extremely deadly player with the ball in his hands. Brown gets to the rim at an elite level and is the only High Major guard since 2008 to have 250 attempts at the rim. Brown uses his rim pressure in the HC or in transition to find his teammates along with drawing fouls at a high level. Brown also has good passing vision and is good at limiting his turnovers. Brown was also one of the most efficient mid range scorers in the country who shot 44% from the mid range on 95 attempts. At UNC next season in a role where he’s still going to maintain a strong usage but also not be asked to do as much I think his catch and shoot and cutting ability will standout more as well. Brown showed strong flashes as a cutter where he shot 68%, he also was a solid catch and shoot threat from three, and next to a passer like Neoklis Avdalas that aspect of his game will be more visible. I think Brown is one of the most talented players in the ACC and he has the chance to put it all together at UNC this season, where he has the potential to be one of the top scorers and playmakers in college basketball.

6’4 Freshman Guard Jasiah Jervis put together a very impressive showing in Michigan State’s three exhibition games. Jervis averaged 13/2/1 while shooting 55% from the field and 53% from three on 6 attempts a game in only 21 MPG Jervis has the potential to be one of the biggest breakout prospects in this season’s draft class and he showed why, with a strong showing of his shooting efficiency, as someone who can hit threes off the move or off the catch. He also showcased his defensive ability with his high motor, and consistently being in the right spots for his team offensively, and defensively.
