Isaac Humphries (definately needs more court time)
Harry Froling (hitting the weights hard and looks totally different already)
Jock Landale (huge improvement this season, 1 to go at St Mary's)
Jacob Epperson (must get in the weight room)
Sam Froling (plays a bit soft for my liking. Needs to develop a killer instinct)
Who has the highest ceiling out of these 5 bigs?
Landale 6'11 255
Humphries 7'0 260
S.Froling will be 7'0 250, currently 211cm, maybe 240.
H.Froling 6'11 260
Epperson 6'11 220, needs to get bigger
Insert 6'11 Gak at number 2.

At this stage you would suggest Landale has the shown the most of this group. Great soft hands, has a quick second jump on the O board, beautiful footwork for a guy his size and has shown the ability to hit the mid range, and even a few 3's, throughout the season. I would suggest the rest of them are a bit behind Jock (Humphries in ability and Froling in maturity)
It will be interesting what the underclassmen of this group get up to next college season.
As MJ said, 'The roof is the ceiling'.
When your the G.O.A.T, you don't need to make sense!!
Sam Froling by a long way.
Epperson very overrated!!! Hype.

Obviously I asked for opinions ( so you are entitled to yours) but have you read what the scouts are saying about Epperson lately?
Also why Sam over Isaac?
Isaac was All Star five silver medalist, what exactly has Sam proved? ( so far)
Gak 1 Miami 6'10-7'0
Landale 2 st Mary's 6'11
S.froling 3 ? Possibly TCU 6'9-7'1
Humphries 4 Kentucky 6'11-7'0
H.Froling 5 Marquette 6'11
Epperson 6 ? Possibly creighton 6'10-7'0
Same scouts for H Froling and how did he go this year.
If Sam Froling is 16,
way in front of this group.

Highest ceiling would be Deng Gak as he is easily the most athletic of the bunch with an impressive wingspan and vertical leap. Has good footwork and dribbling skills as well. If he bulks up well without losing that athleticism and develops a consistent mid range shot, he'll be NBA bound.
Samson would be next, hard to tell how tall he will end up. If he manages to reach 7 foot and retain his guard skills with his new frame, he may garner a few looks from the scouts.
The rest are not spectacularly athletic, have poor wingspan and have not shown a lot of exceptional skills for their size.
MAKUR MAKER, cousin of Thon Maker will be better than all these guys the opening post just mentioned.
Is maker 00 or 01 born?
Just wondering if anyone has contacted him about being on the Aus u16 team.

I'll give him a buzz in my lunch break for you.
Why such a short list? You can easily name 20 others who will have at least the same ceiling, maybe even higher!
I haven't been to any of their houses so can't comment.
