All i hope for is that one of the centers, preferably chinyelu, falls to the raptors.
This team has been struggling so much at the center position and we really need someone better than TJD to be our backup.

It's supposed to be Poeltl but man has he looked disappointing on defense. We got TJD as a backup at the deadline last year but Darko has some grudge against him and doesn't play him in our rotation. CMB is also expected to play spot center minutes as well, but too long at that position could damage him like last year
Then we got Bittle this year on a two-way but man got injured. He showed promise in the summer league as a stretch 5.
For some reason the raptors are cursed at the 5. We've had Chomche, Koloko, Jontay and all of them struggle in some way. Chomche and Koloko had health problems while Jontay decided to gamble his life away. Now it feels like Bittle is down that road as well, but hopefully he makes a recovery.

I like Jordan Smith Jr as a high floor guy who will play in the nba a long time but I don’t think he’s the most high upside prospect on Arkansas.
Miikka Muurinen could be a great 3/4 tweener 7 footer or even grow into a full 4. If his head is on straight sky is the limit.
Abdou Toure is the guy to me who looks like he could have #1 scorer on a NBA team upside. He’s got great size as an off guard and can really fill it up. Elite athlete. Will be coming off the bench but Cal has alluded to SGA being asked to do that early before eventually starting when talking about this team this year (though not specifically saying it of Toure)

Every time they compete. 6 months ago in spain u18 championship they played against each other : Stefan scored 20 and Niebla 39… Playing the same position even defending each other
EDIT: sorry just checked. Niebla scored 29 and Stefan 16. Stefan played 37 min and Niebla 34.

Niebla also had some massive duds in that tournament, including a 4 pt quartefinal. Joksimovic was the MVP of the tourney averaging 23 pts per game while Niebla averaged 16. Ridiculous cherry picking here. And I like Niebla.

Stokes, Joks, and Holt are the only 3 I consider guaranteed lottery this year. There are a lot of guys with great measurables, but none of them have shown huge upside or development.
Huge class for bigmen so that's where I think most teams are looking.

Fink has pretty good intel from teams, so I take a mock so far out, just as an intel reports of how teams‘ front office sources are talking about prospects right now

Outside of the top 3 this draft looks terrible. The guys mocked in the lottery might be late first rounders if they were in last years draft

Gotta take preseason mock drafts in weak draft years with a grain of salt. The preseason 2024 draft was all over the place in November 2023.
