Since then, I feel even more confident that Ament and Mara will be picked in the top 10.
I’m less confident that Flemings will be in the top 5 though.
Still, there’s Yaxel, who will definitely be talked about plenty in the top 10 the next 6 weeks… Not to mention Burries, Philon and Steinbach …
There will be good options at 9!
From someone who has been high on Ament’s potential from when I started doing a deep dive on the top prospects, I am now much more in the Steinbach camp if both he and Ament are available.
Steinbach has strength and rebounding that will translate. Plus I watch Ament’s games and Steinbach’s and there is no doubt obout which one’ motor runs nonstop.
Also the measurements today should boost his stock just as it would have done for Ament.
