Houston, we solved your problem. After averaging 20 points in summer league, Reed has definitely proven he can be a shooter. He is our pick to take home the ROTY honours.
Greatness flows through his veins. Since he was young, Broney has always had the best feet on the court and now nothing is changing.
Matas Bouzelis’ huge poster against the Warriors in Summer League was just a preview of what he’ll do to opposing players this season. If anyone is going to end the 36-year dunk contest winning drought for the Bulls, it’s going to be this guy. The last winner in Chicago we all know had a pretty good career…
The 7-foot Duke product is underrated and we don’t really know why. When he wakes you up and starts dancing to jazz, we told you so.
The toughest newcomer to the class will be the walking highlight reel. Scary hours ahead from the Timberwolves…
There aren’t many players with a smoother stroke than Risakher. The #1 pick will make the League as he and Trey light it up from downtown.
Zach Edey is a walking double-double and he is our lock, averaging 10 boards per game. Being one of the tallest players in the league certainly helps.
Jared McCain is a man of many talents. The social media star is always rocking the latest trends, and she’ll rock the court this year, too.
Already one of the best-dressed players in the league, Cody Williams is always going to wear that outfit. Don’t be surprised to see the same conspiracy on the court…
Arguably the hottest shooter in the class, Reed Shepard is a certified scoring machine, and he’s going to prove it this season.
