Pettaway has entered camp in great shape this season and could average 20 ppg, 10 rpg and shoot around 60% from the floor. He should be much improved on the defensive end of the court as well. A potential All-American here and definitely has a future in pro hoops at some level. .

Maarty Leunen from Oregon, and Charlie Coley from Charlotte, are pretty good. They don’t get alot of recognition for the hustle and work they do on the court. I believe both have a good shot at making it to the nba .

Geary Claxton @ Penn State is a definite sleeper, who has nba potential. .

I know Jaycee Carroll is older than most college players, but he has been doing his thang at Utah State, and I wanna show him a little love for it. His size may hurt him as a future NBA player, but he has some skills a certain might be interested in. His ability to shoot the ball is amazing. He is an underdog that I’m pulling for. If you have not watched him play yet, please do so everyone, you don’t want to miss watching greatness! .

I think Marcus Johnson the Jr, out of UConn is gonna have a big year. Nobody in college has really talked about him, his team doesn’t even highly talk about him. But you watch and see my cousin is about to do big things this season .

Watch Byron Eaton at Oklahom State. He has worked overtime this summer and shed 20lbs and is going to be doing his opponents. I beleive he will have a breakthrough season and garner some attention from nba brass. .

Yo, I’m gald someone is finally showing my boy Brian Roberts some love. He has been one of the best PGs in college since he entered. It’s totally disrespecting that others have not given him more credit for what he has done. He’ll be the steal in next years draft, if people don’t pay attention to him this season .

Yeah definitely think Jason Thompson is gonna show people he’s the real deal and his stock will rise big time, along with Reggie Williams, who should have another big year and be at the top in college stats .
