Haugh so underated imo. Florida has some of the most *** guard play and he's still having a good season. Imagine having to play with boogie fland.
Following Potential 2026 Draftees
- Thread starter Miggs
- Start date
Haugh got an outside shot at a 5x5
Florida must have dropped the bag on Lee and Fland. Total bust for them.
Haugh absolutely locked up Blue Cain. Not great for my developing Blue Cain hot takes.
Two main statistical signals that seem to predict success in the NBA are steals and FT%. FT% is a clear indicator of shooting touch, irrespective of how well a player is shooting from the field or on 3PAs at any given time. Steals are an indicator of a player's athleticism and competitiveness. Consider these two stats along with a player's fluidity, IQ/feel and work ethic, and you can usually start to predict some outcome scenarios.
Keyonte George's FT% of 79% and his 1 SPG were probably the only signals in his freshman year that suggested he could become a high-level NBA player. Obviously, if he keeps up his current level of play he's achieving nearly a best-case scenario.
Whereas, Cody Williams' 55% FG% and his 41.5% 3P% likely caused people to predict that he'd be a decent shooter in the NBA, while overlooking the fact that Cody only shot 71% on FTs. Cody's 0.6 SPG, despite his physical advantages at the college level, might have predicted lukewarm competitiveness.

So I'm just now catching on to Keaton Wagler. He's a pretty elite shooting prospect, and he has more off-the-dribble game and playmaking than Cameron Carr. I wish he were a bit bigger and stronger physically.

I'm overthinking Boozer. He's just so dominant.

Dominant college player, yes. He's in good company – Luka Garza, Tyler Hansbrough, Drew Timme, Adam Morrison and Christian Laettner were dominant too.
(I'll never stop posting about this stuff. It's the least I can do to prevent the Jazz from picking Boozer.)
Adam Morrison and Drew Timme lol. How about Domantas Sabonis and Karl Anthony-Towns.

KAT is a legit 7 footer with a crazy wingspan (something like 7'4''). There's no comparison. Boozer is the same size as Jarred Vanderbilt.
As for Sabonis, he's a skilled 6'10'' brick wall who woke up one morning and chose violence. Plus his head is so big, it has its own gravity. One of a kind!
Punch has a good game vs Kansas though he did choke the win away at the ft line.
