Future TOP DOGS
Future Top DOG (FTD.)
Up & coming players (3 yrs. experience or less) with “go-to potential” and/or on the track to stardom in the NBA.
Think: Evan Mobley (CLE)
Duke’s Mark Williams could anchor the middle in Charlotte for some time to come - nicknamed “The Condor” - Williams extends extremely far to snag rebounds and serves as a towering shot-blocker.
Evan Mobley is legitimately one of a kind: new age, wiry big w/ unique fundamentals - instant impact on winning basketball in Cleveland.
Young Jaden Hardy has no trouble putting the ball in the hole - pure shot-taker (maker).
Similar to his twin bro, Ausar features some of the coldest, natural athleticism you’ll ever see out of a young prospect - two-way menace w/ elite potential.
Despite being one of the youngest players in the game, Jalen Duren’s possessed an NBA-ready physique (& athleticism) from the jump - undeniable upside in Detroit.
All aboard the Ivey train! Jaden’s a Future Top DOG w/ All-Star prospects in the Motor City.
Cam Whitmore is ready for liftoff: high-octane athlete who plays a grown man’s game on the wing.
Similar to his twin bro, Amen features some of the coldest, natural athleticism you’ll ever see out of a young prospect - has the makings of a special, two-way playmaker: great vision at 6’7, often visualizes reads before they occur.
One of the Association’s rising, young talents, Jabari Smith Jr.’s a budding shooter w/ elite, two-way upside: fires confidently - high release J will give teams nightmares, tough defender w/ versatility.
Jarace Walker: 6’8, 235-pounder who plays like a new age power forward: big & strong but can handle the rock & threaten to score from multiple levels.
Bennedict Mathurin is up next: pure, NBA athlete (from Day 1) w/ all the confidence in the world as a scorer.
A 2024 All-Rookie First-Teamer, Miami’s Jaime Jaquez Jr. was a perfect match for MIA’s impeccable culture: tough, fiery forward - adds size, scoring, connective play for Coach Spo.
Scoot Henderson has hyperactive explosiveness at the 1 spot: PG of the future in PDX.
The hype is real: Shaedon Sharpe has enviable self-assurance & the subsequent game to match - great potential to go very far in the league.
Sacramento’s Keegan Murray is a terror from the outside: immediate, “league-worthy” bucket-getter - deadly on all levels, expertise stands out behind the three-point line.
Jeremy Sochan will not make many friends on the opposing side: brings such a refreshingly unique approach to basketball - Sochan’s upside (on both ends) is seemingly unlimited.
France’s Bilal Coulibaly: long-armed wing who could eventually develop into a shutdown guy.
