![]() ![]() Justin Edwards averaged 17.0ppg, 6.2rpg, 1.2apg, 1.6spgin 13 games in the EYBL which is a high level of AAU. He seems like a San Antonio type of pick which is where we have him mocked. He could also enter the 2023 draft as well after this showing and capitalize on being younger. He averaged 7ppg, and 4rpg in the World Cup last summer for France Intl. He shot 35% on threes as well on lower volume. Overall he got to the line very well (nearly 4 times a game in 23 minutes) and shot over 71%. 628 true shooting in Europe over 34 games, averaging 12ppg, 4apg with 20.93 PER including 18 games with Victor Wembanyama. He’s a contender for the top spot.Ĭoulibaly had a. The frame is more Kevin Durant-like at this point, but even Durant got up to 240 pounds and I think Booker will eventually. He’s going to play for one of the best college coaches ever who I think will use him like Jarren Jackson Jr. I especially expect this at the free line where he had a long history of being a 70+% shooter. He’s shot well before and I expect him to regain his shooting form. He’s aggressive when he’s in the game, and you don’t put up numbers like that if you aren’t per minute. He needs to gain weight but with a 7?5? wingspan he does things I haven’t seen other players doing at his size. ![]() ![]() I still believe he has the most upside in this class with the handle at his size, defensive potential, and rebounding. I’m not ready to write him off as a shooter yet given he has shot much better before, but it was a step back. More troubling was the free throw shooting which was 74% as a junior and over 70% as a sophomore as well dropped to 52%. The disappointing aspect was his 3-point shooting regressed from his junior year dropping from 36% on solid volume for his minutes (36-100) to 24% as a senior. That was great, and I do believe in bigger minutes he would have continued to put up crazy numbers. He was highly productive at least in the short stints averaging 15ppg 9rpg and 2bpg while shooting 70% on 2-point FGs. He was still playing low amounts of minutes (23.6 minutes) for a top prospect. He has good size and athletic ability and plays a more premium position.īooker had a somewhat disappointing senior season. He showed versatility in his shot with some step back 3’s. Watching the video the passing vision seemed there, and he appeared more athletic and to be a better ball handler than others in the class who were ranked higher at the time of our first scout. He has good size and facilitates well The only shooting stats we have were from his freshman year, and he hit 40% of these threes and 77% from the line on solid per-game volume. Even if it’s only high school the playmaking ability seem to be there. Isaiah Collier averaged 22ppg, 7.2apg, 2.6rpg his Jr year and followed it up by averaging 20.2ppg, 6.8rpg, 5.1apg, and 2.3spg as a senior on his way to being named the Wootten National Player of the Year. This season he should really improve on that as well. That’s as proven vs good competition as you will find in this class right now and safe of a pick. He played 200 minutes in Euroleague and had an 11.4 PER and. Ultimately that age and the level of skill at the size are what lands him in our top spot. He averaged 3ppg in 16 Euroleage games and is one of the younger prospects in the class turning 18 in April. He didn’t put up crazy numbers of 39 games in Europe, but he was very solid playing at a high level of pro ball at 17 years old. When I first scouted him in the summer of 2022 I thought he would be the sleeper of the class with the most upward mobility originally ranking him 15th. Risacher averaged 10ppg and 7rpg and 3.2spg in the World Cup for France Intl in 7 games. He did seem to be lacking in explosive athleticism but has the size and skill that should cover up for that. When he got to the rim he had nice body control. He moved his feet well on defense and had a nice first step combined with the ball handling to get him to the rim. I thought Risacher’s ball handling and smoothness were better than anyone his size I have watched in this class. ![]()
