Dybasanta - F Brigham Young
Peterson - PG Kansas
Boozer - F Duke
Caleb Wilson - F North Carolina
K. Flemings - PG Houston
Number 5-12 are wildly mixed up. They most commonly include the following:
Yaxel Lindeborg - F Michigan
Jaden Quaintance (still playing himself into shape at Kentucky)
Mikel Brown - PG - Louisville
Koa Peat - F - Arizona
Labaron Philon- PG - Alabama
Hannes Steinbach - C - Washington
Darius Acuff PG - Arkansas
Cameron Carr - G -Baylor
Thomas Haugh- F -Florida
Keaton Wagler - G - Illinois
Nate Ament - Tennesee
Braylon Mullins G - Conn
Chris Cenac C- Houston
Patrick Ngongba C- Duke
I think Ament and Peat will be out of the top 10 and possibly out of the lottery unless they improve a lot during the rest of the season. Ament best case is to be another MPJ but health was a big factor of MPJ fall and it took him sometime to figure things out.
Outside of the top 5 I am not sure there is a guy I fully believe in as a potential All-Star player to be Flagg's sidekick. Wagler, Acuff and Mullins I feel has the potential to be a good winning starters, Steinbach is a bit of wild card. I need to know more about Quaintance
