Super excited to see Hudson Greer at Creighton next season.
He has a terrific basketball IQ, and is one of the best cutters and off-ball movers I’ve seen at the high school level.
He operates best off the ball, and has shown plenty of catch-and-shoot upside.

Broke down Toumani Camara over on the YouTube channel today. Picked his 19/7/3/2/2 game against Boston to talk about.
Would have him as an All-Defense guy this year, and think it's interesting how the offense is coming along over the season.

Super excited to see UConn’s recruit Jacob Furphy next season.
As one of the best Aussie prospects in recent memory, he plays with a nice pace, has great feel for the game and passing instincts.
Finishes really well around the rim, and is an even better shooter than people give him credit for.

One of my favorites from this draft class, Mohamed Diawara with a good game last night in the FIBA Europe Cup. 13pts, 4rebs, 3asts and 2stls with more involvement in post up creation. The sho hasn't been there and the consistency in his play hasn't either, but this could be a good first step

I wrote a thing. Check it out!
The topic of undersized guards is such an intriguing one. I wrote about what helps them stick in the NBA and what role they could have. Check it out below at the Draftstack!

Does Size Matter?
With the NBA trending towards taller, stronger and longer players, I take a look at what role undersized guards have at the NBA level.
