10. Immanuel Quickley – USA / Kentucky
Height: 6’3″ Weight: 188 lbs
Year-DOB: Sophomore – 06/17/99 – 21 years old
NCAA Stats: 16.1 PPG / 1.9 APG / 4.2 RPG / 0.9 STL / Shooting Splits .417/.428/.923
Reasons to Believe
- Shooting Stroke
- Touch
- Off Ball Defense
Causes for Concern
- Tunnel Vision
- Offensive Awareness
- Consistency At Rim
Summary:
The reigning SEC Player of the Year is someone that has somehow seemed to slide under the radar as we approach the 2020 NBA Draft. Quickley has a beautiful shot who excelled at converting from deep and from the line. He’s an intelligent defender and is someone you want to give the ball to when he gets out in transition. If Immanuel puts on more muscle and works on his passing acumen, he is going to be a great NBA player.
9. Isaiah Joe – USA / Arkansas
Height: 6’5″ Weight: 180 lbs
Year-DOB: Sophomore – 07/02/99 – 21 years old
NCAA Stats: 16.9 PPG / 1.7 APG / 4.1 RPG / 1.4 STL / Shooting Splits .367/.342/.890
Reasons to Believe
- Outside Pull-Ups
- Movement Shooting
- Team Defense Potential
Causes for Concern
- Strength
- Athleticism
- Injuries
Summary:
The percentages don’t do Joe justice. You may see a 34% shooter from outside but make no mistake he is one of the best shooters in this class especially on the move while shooting over 10.6 threes per game. Joe can look to carve a role in the NBA based on shooting alone but his defensive rotations are solid. The biggest need for Joe is to fill out his frame a bit.
8. Leandro Bolmaro – Spain / Barcelona
Height: 6’7″ Weight: 180 lbs
Year-DOB: 09/11/00 – 20 years old
2019 Stats ALL: 7.9 PPG / 2.5 APG / 1.6 RPG / 1.1 STL / Shooting Splits .423/.293/.711
2020 Stats ALL: 2.8 PPG / 1.4 APG / 1.3 RPG / 0.6 STL / Shooting Splits .217/.091/1.000
Reasons to Believe
- Passing Acumen
- Motor/Defensive footwork
- Offensive Craft
Causes for Concern
- Jump Shot Form/Release
- Strength / Frame
- Forcing Passes
Summary:
Leandro Bolmaro has stated previously that he will not be coming over from Spain right away to join an NBA team as he is enjoying his time with Barcelona. At a certain point, we believe Bolmaro will be coming to the league, but the question is when. Our scouts range on his position in these rankings anywhere from the 5th spot to right outside the top 10. Bolmaro is such an intelligent passer and makes everyone around him better. If he decides to come to the NBA after just one year, he’ll make a team very happy that takes him in this draft.
7. Jahmi’us Ramsey – USA / Texas Tech
Height: 6’3″ Weight: 190 lbs
Year – DOB: Freshman – 06/09/01 – 19 years old
NCAA: 15.0 PPG / 2.2 APG / 4.0 RPG / 1.3 STL / Shooting Splits .442/.426/.641
Reasons to Believe
- Confidence
- 3pt Shooting #s
- Potential ISO game
Causes for Concern
- Shot Selection
- Defensive Footwork
- Consistency
Summary:
Ramsey is an athletic guard with tons of upside. The 6’4 wing has a 6’6 wingspan, and shot the ball really well (42.6%) from three in his one year with the Red Raiders. He also showed flashes as a playmaker, and if he can improve his decision making and refine his all-around offensive game could be a really good player at the next level.
6. RJ Hampton – USA / New Zealand Breakers
Height: 6’3″ Weight: 190 lbs
Year-DOB: 02/07/01 – 19 years old
NBL Stats (15): 8.8 PPG / 2.4 APG / 3.9 RPG / 1.1 STL / Shooting Splits .407/.295/.679
Reasons to Believe
- Transition Speed
- First Step
- Body Control/Acrobatics
Causes for Concern
- Jumpshot consistency
- Defensive motor
- Left hand finshing
Summary:
He can be a blur in transition and get easy buckets beating teams down the floor. In the half-court he has a really good first step to beat defenders but tends to only try to finish with his right. The major question will be his jumper as he is still developing as a floor spacer. Has a ton of upside and could see his role change drastically depending on how he capitalizes on his potential.
5. Josh Green – Australia / Arizona
Height: 6’6″ Weight: 205 lbs
Year-DOB: Freshman – 10/16/00 – 20 years old
NCAA Stats: 12.0 PPG / 2.6 APG / 4.6 RPG / 1.5 STL / Shooting Splits .424/.361/.780
Reasons to Believe
- Lateral Quickness
- Open Floor Speed
- Defensive Versatility
Causes for Concern
- Shot Creation
- Release on Jumper
- Finishing
Summary:
Josh Green is a very promising prospect from Arizona. His quick feet on defense and the IQ that is coupled with it suggest that he will transition just fine to the NBA on that end. Green has shown plenty of flashes of being an all-around solid player and we are excited to see how great of a player he can become if he turns those flashes into something more consistent.
4. Desmond Bane – USA / TCU
Height: 6’6″ Weight: 215 lbs
Year-DOB: Senior – 06-25-98 – 22 years old
NCAA Stats: 16.6 PPG / 3.9 APG / 6.3 RPG / 0.5 STL / Shooting Splits .452/.442/.789
Reasons to Believe
- C&S Ability
- Size/Strength
- Off-Ball Scoring
Causes for Concern
- Lack of Mid-Range
- Handle
- Offensive predictability
Summary:
Bane flew up draft boards during his senior season and for good reason. The TCU wing is probably the best shooter in this class, and hit a ridiculous 44% of his three pointers with increased attempts as a senior. Bane is a great defender as well and will be a quality 3 and D player right away for whatever team selects him.
3. Tyrese Maxey – USA / Kentucky
Height: 6’3″ Weight: 200 lbs
Year-DOB: Freshman – 11/04/00 – 20 years old
NCAA Stats: 14.0 PPG / 3.2 APG / 4.3 RPG / 0.9 STL / Shooting Splits .427/.292/.833
Reasons to Believe
- Touch
- Defensive chops (footwork/hips)
- Finishing
Causes for Concern
- Shooting Form (release point)
- Size
- Creating for others
Summary:
More of a combo guard by todays standards Maxey will look to be a spark plug immediately in the league with his athleticism and defensive prowess. Possessing some great touch on his floaters and good finishing ability with either hand Maxey could be a steal for a team in the 10-20 range.
2. Devin Vassell – USA / Florida State
Height: 6’5″ Weight: 215 lbs
Year – DOB: Sophomore – 08/23/00 – 20 years old
19-20 Stats: 12.7 PPG / 1.6 APG / 5.1 RPG / 1.4 STL / Shooting Splits .490/.415/.738
Reasons to Believe
- Off-Ball Defense/Motor/Versatility
- Basketball IQ
- Shooting
Causes for Concern
- Handle
- Shot Creation
- Play Strength
Summary:
A great athlete and arguable the top 3 and D prospect in this year’s class. Vassell improved dramatically on the offense end of the court in his sophomore season and should be a quality rotation piece right away as a rookie.
1. Anthony Edwards – USA / Georgia
Height: 6’5″ Weight: 225 lbs
Year – DOB: Freshman – 08/05/01 – 19 years old
NBL Stats: 19.1 PPG / 2.8 APG / 5.2 RPG / 1.3 STL / Shooting Splits .402/.294/.772
Reasons to Believe
- Tough Shot Making
- Shooting Range
- Size/Athleticism
Causes for Concern
- Shot Selection
- Defensive Motor
- Lack of Mid-Range
Summary:
Arguably the most physically ready guard in the class, Edwards possesses the ability to create his own shot and can make shots from anywhere on the floor. He was asked to do a lot on a lackluster UGA team and he may be the first pick overall when all said and done but look for him to be asked to score early on in his NBA career.
