UCONN’s 2023 NBA Prospects

[Psolo12]

Adama Sanogo and his son, Colin Castelton.

We have to remember the Jake Weingarten conversion factor. He normally calls about 20 players “top-10 recruits”, so using that scale factor, we can only definitively state that Sanogo is among the top 80 or 90 prospects.

This wouldn't surprise me. Productive players. The new CBA effectively ends the three star team era. It's pretty much a hard salary cap. A lot of guys are going to be surprised. Teams with even two stars are going to need to fill roster spots with cheap, productive players. Guys with upside who aren't ready are likely to become less popular draft picks.

I agree. Sanogo can absolutely play in the league and I am confident he can carve out a roll.

[Hey Adrien!]

Just got home from listening to WFAN in the car and our old buddy PJ Carlesimo was raving about Jordan Hawkins as the best shooter in the draft.

In a perfect world (for me), Celtics trade up and grab Jordan and the Nuggets pick Andre at the end of the 1st.

 

[Umami Zen]

Hard to imagine if Andre is available in late first round that either the Nuggets don't grab him at 29/32/37 or Spurs at 33.. Both teams need rookie contracts and championship BBIQ.. Both places would be great for his skill set.. Assuming --of course-- neither team trades out of those positions..
