This specific piece mostly focuses on Terrence Shannon Jr, but the introduction to the piece looks at the process of evaluating upperclassmen as a whole and looks back at some older prospects who fell too far (i.e. Jalen Brunson, Desmond Bane, etc.)

[Zach Milner @ZachMilner13]

🚨 NEW WORDS 🚨

The Process of Evaluating Upperclassmen

I discuss why it is important to not overlook older prospects because of their age and how important it is to differentiate older prospects dominating because of their age vs translatable skills

🚨 NEW WORDS 🚨

Every player has bad games, but those games are sometimes just as important to watch as their best games. I wrote about Rob Dillingham’s struggles against UNC Wilmington, and shared some takeaways on how Dillingham ranks as a prospect

🚨 NEW WORDS 🚨

My annual 'Early Season Scouting Notes' piece is always one of my favorite things to release each year. In this year's edition, I briefly touch on 20 players that have caught my eye for a variety of reasons.

Hope you enjoy!

🚨 NEW WORDS 🚨

I wrote about Ryan Dunn's elite defensive potential, and how players of his archetype are able to have a big impact on the game despite having some offensive limitations

Tracking Improvement in Returners (Part II)

In the Part I intro, I looked back at how Devin Vassell showed significant improvement in his sophomore season debut

In Part II, I look at Riley Kugel and Aaron Scott, who had similar success in their openers

Team Building / Roster Construction Question:

Would you rather have a consistent rotation player on your team that's a complete negative on offense or a complete negative on defense, and why?

[Zach Milner @ZachMilner13]

College returners showing improvement is very important

In this piece, I look back at how Devin Vassell improved from his Freshman to Sophomore season & briefly discuss 7 college returners and what areas of their game I'll be looking closely at

Really enjoyed diving deep into Cason Wallace's game last week with @MG_Schindler

Talked about how his game translates to the next level, where we stand on projecting some of his areas for improvement, best fits, and more

[Tag The Roll @TagTheRoll]

The Cason Wallace breakdown

@ZachMilner13 & @MG_Schindler dive into the Kentucky guard’s upside, intrigue, and fits

On what makes him a lottery level prospect, elite defensive potential, ability as a pick and roll playmaker, and more https://t.co/mUxXssLIhr

[Zach Milner @ZachMilner13]

Judah Mintz's creativity as a passer, especially with his interior passing, stood out a lot this past season at Syracuse

In addition to his passing creativity, the placement on his lobs and entry passes is generally very good
