Duke’s Patrick Ngongba blends high-impact metrics with some pristine tape in his case of becoming the first big selected in the 2027 NBA Draft. Strong mobility, touch & verticality improvements to pair alongside high-level processing & rim protection skills, all in a 6’11 frame.

The Patrick Ngongba experience, summarized in 30 seconds. 28/10/4 vs. Kansas — there’s no question who is my top front-court prospect of the 2027 NBA Draft.
Have a day BIG PAT‼️‼️‼️‼️ 28 points 10 boards 4 dimes 2 blocks 9-10 FT

Tyran Stokes is such a skilled passer that understands how to get teammates quality looks in a multitude of ways. From the short roll, to the low post or even as a primary handler, his open-court vision + ability to generate paint touches continues to pop on tape.

In light of Cayden Daughtry's season opener I wanted to put into perspective just how ridiculous his summer was, and how he compares to a few recent 1-and-done guards. Although its a long ways until the '28 draft, Daughtry is right on pace to be in the league sooner than later

UCLA's 6-9 G/F 17-year old Nikola Kusturica flashes on both ends last night vs CBU, he combines his gifted tools with arguably one of the highest motors in the nation. The efficiency wasn't great, but Kusturica can impact the game in so many different facets if the shot isn't falling. He filled the stat sheet with 10 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 0 turnovers, 5 steals, 2 blocks in just 24 minutes and was a +39 in those minutes for the Bruins. Very impactful defender that has the ability to turn defense into offense, being a very fluid athlete and handler at his frame. Grabbed 4 offensive rebounds using his length and with his long arms, he can easily pin shots at the rim then push the tempo as a taller guard. He's 17 for the entire NCAA season, which is crazy to think about, with how many upperclassmen's are starting for HM teams, but that will undoubtedly help him grow this season.

Three games, hundreds of words. I rambled about what Detroit, Philly, and San Antonio did that caught my attention - and I hope to share these thoughts with you all as you enjoy day 2 of this new season! (Link below)

Obinna Ekezie Jr., everyone. Buy stock now.
Louisville has itself a very promising freshman talent in Obinna Ekezie Jr., who has the tools to be a special prospect in due time. A vertical play finisher @ 7’2 with suffocating length, shot-blocking ability & floor spacing upside. Definitely a player to monitor long-term.

I'm very confident that Jeremy Fears Jr. will return a T30 grade from me for the 2027 NBA Draft. No player has posted a higher single-season AST% (53.0) than Fears Jr. — a cerebral creator with passing feel, ↑ TO aversion, rim touch, gaudy FTr & solid dTOV influence (2.6% STL).

Baylor’s Kayden Mingo had a stellar performance in his sophomore debut vs. Florida. Strong self-creator with driving skill (62% ATR @ 20% ast’d), ↑ AST/USG + defensive playmaking (~4% STL). If the shooting woes can improve (24.4%, 5.7 3PA/100), I’m all in on Mingo as a ‘27 guy.
Preseason No. 1 Florida gets tripped up by Baylor in an exhibition. All five Gators' starters played 33+ minutes, but the offense was brutal for long stretches. 4-28 from downtown. Baylor PG Kayden Mingo (31 points, eight rebounds, four dimes) has taken a major sophomore leap.

Happy NBA Eve! And, at that, Pistons tip-off eve How else could I celebrate other than writing about Detroit - and the rest of the East’s Midwest division? * P.S. ~ Am running behind on this series’, but hey.. something’s’ better than nothing. As always, enjoy the words 🙂⬇️

The college basketball season is only a few weeks away so here's my 2027 preseason board! With this being such a wide open class I'm expecting a healthy amount of early season movement, but for now feel free to ask any and all questions about prospects' placements!

The Most Valuable Non-All-Stars in the NBA The league’s most awarded players have an obvious appeal, but inefficiency in identification plagues fans and experts alike. All-Star nods identify *most* of the upper crust; +EV lies in the league’s equally talented, but less-heralded

UNC fans should be elated at the level of talent they’re getting in freshman wing Maximo Adams. 6’7, 220 — oozes scoring versatility, physicality + good possession economy. Can defend multiple positions with ↑ size + tools. A name to stash away & monitor for the 2027 NBA Draft.
