Just too good for college. He does all the little things I like along with the big things. I will be honest, that I wonder how he scores against the Mobley and Chet type of guys but he is just dominating college.

He does it differently than Cooper but both of them were the best 8n college but don’t try to prove it every time down the court. They also let their teammates shine.

He's going to be better than Carlos, his dad, I'm willing to bet.

I seriously don't understand his dominance but he is dominant. 


He doesn't look particularly fast. He doesn't look like he can dribble that well or jump very high. Yet game in and game out he is lighting up every team. 


In the pros Im going to question his ability to post up and get a shot off in the paint. He just won't be able to bully ball like he's doing right now. But if he can hit a 3 and find a way to get his shot off using a 1-2 dribble into post, hook/layup, then I can see him being an all star. His passing game as well is very impressive.

Reminds me of Kevin Love with his outlet passes.

Boozer is unbelievable and looks like the clear #1 pick. He’s the best power forward prospect I’ve seen recently. Great shooter, rebounder, and passer in a powerful frame. He can handle the ball too. Looks like he came out of a factory. He’d be my pick if the Mavs get lucky again. You always draft for best player in the NBA (maybe not in the NFL). Free agency and trades are for need.

I have what may be an irrational like for the North Carolina kid too. If the Mavs end up at 4 or 5 and draft Wilson, I’d be happy. PJ is easily tradeable for real assets if the Mavs draft position aligns with Boozer or Wilson.

Kingston Flemings is going to be moving up draft boards. I thought Mikel Brown Jr would be the top guard prospect outside of Peterson, but now I'm not sure. Flemings has looked better so far. Great athlete, super quick first step. Current shooting splits are 61/52/71 although it's on relatively low volume. Hopefully his 6'4" 190 listing isn't too exaggerated.

I was about to talk about him, he is a legit PG prospect that might be the solution for best fit vs best player available as he might be both. 

Am I off if I see a little bit of Lillard in his game?

You are focusing on shot creation, but I think his main strength is that he is simply a ridiculous finisher who will find a way to finish around the rim or through shooting, at worst he might need a good PG to feed him the ball. 

And regarding his shot creation, you can look at it as a guy who has the skill and speed to get his shot against bigger guys, and the size to bully smaller & faster one.

I definitely see some similarities athletically, but I think he may end up being more of a natural point guard. His mid-range game looks better than his 3 point shot (although those all seem to be going in on low volume).

I have not seen UNc play yet and I have read that Wilson has some clear holes in his game but man he has a few of these highlights a game. Things just ridiculous

How long are his arms? Okay here is the new plan. Hear me out. We trade AD to the Hornets for Josh Green + X and their 2026 pick. We tank.

New Fantastic Four

Wilson = Mr. Fantastic
Boozer = The Thing
Flagg = The Human Torch
Josh Green = The Invisible Woman

Yeah if we can get another 1st this year (if we end up with a high lotto pick), this is the dude I'm all in on.

Sheesh does he remind you of anyone?

His name is literally Neo Of Dallas and Neoklis means New Glory. I rest my case.
