Second Round Sleepers from the 2023 NBA Draft
(#33) Minnesota Timberwolves- Leonard Miller It would've been such a Spurs-y move to keep Leonard Miller and develop him into a key piece as a second-round pick. Instead, the Timberwolves acquire him and basically dole out all their frontcourt minutes in the process. Although Miller has a ton of upside and long-term appeal, it might take a while (or a major trade) for him to find opportunities...

Dawkins’ Standouts from Coach Rick’s TOC (Day 1, Part 2)
By: DeAjai Dawkins 6'7 2022 Marcus Kell (Upward Stars 3SSB 17U/Legion Collegiate Academy) Marcus has a beautiful jump shot, one of the best shot forms I've seen today. His mechanics are consistent and he must be focused on at all times. Kell could serve as a spot-up shooting option for a variety of college programs. He's likely due for a very promising season at Legion. 2022 6'4 Takai and Tajuan...

Dawkins’ Standouts from Day 2 at Phenom MDC (Part 1)
By; DeAjai Dawkins 6'6 2025 Hayden Assemian (Upward Stars 15U Fagan) Hayden is an impressive big man prospect with good hands and a soft touch around the rim. He rebounds at a high level and has shown the ability to score with an array of low-post moves. Hayden is a tough cover for a defender in general, especially one giving up size. I expect Hayden to experience a very successful high school...

POB’s Eye Catchers: Phenom MDC (Day 2, Part 1)
2023 Hasanur Friedman (G5 Elite): Friedman is a new name to the scene for us but the guard showed tremendous ability to create for himself off the dribble. He makes incredibly decisive moves, quick reaction, and gets defenders off-balance with his crossover while also finishing around the basket. Strong play from this young man early on Day 2. 2021 Cedric Patterson (Team United): Patterson has...

Every time he comes out, he makes an impact on the floor. Before, he did an incredible job in getting downhill and finishing through contact and he continues to do so, but you can...
