Great podcast! First-timer here. A few comments:

BYU has plenty of money if, for whatever reason, Egor wants to come back to school. Egor has made it a point to say that he's never said he was a one-and-done, but nobody really thinks that he'll stick around. He loves BYU, and we love him, but he's going to be a lottery pick, and that's something you can't turn down if your ultimate goal is the NBA. As for his freshman year in college, it took Egor a minute to adjust to the greatly increases physicality and overall competition in the Big12, but he's catching on. And his shot is looking much better. That step back 3 he hit against Baylor was an amazing shot, and it's something he's going to be able to do more regularly as some mechanical adjustments make it into live competition more regularly.

With VJ, Egor, Kanon, and other freshmen, there's going to be a huge learning curve as they take a huge leap in competition. It's all to be expected. VJ is going to be a great player (just wish he had a bit more size, but nobody's perfect).

At this point, Kanon may well play himself comfortably into the 1st round. He's a quiet young man, and I worry a bit that maybe he's not ready for the rough world of the NBA, but he's learning and growing all the time. He just might benefit from a second year in college. However, he's just so talented and he has all of the physical attributes any team could want, so I think he will enter the draft and he'll be a 1st rounder. He's an NBA talent, for sure.

As a BYU fan, it's a lot of fun to have multiple NBA prospects on the squad, and it's an absolute blast to be playing in the Big12 these days where we get to see talent like VJ, Wright, and others.

Robert wright is underrated, good freshman point guard at Baylor.

@acesmithiii2175

Shelton Henderson is a very intriguing prospect

@mahonrimoriancumer9932

Demin loves BYU. You're probably right, he's gone after this year BUT would not say it's 0% chance.

Great coverage/analysis!

@mikejones9906

So we’re not gonna talk about Ace Bailey’s 37 point performance last night?

@Matt-ul2rf

Krysten knows her stuff man. Impressive. 🎉

Biggest McDonalds snub for me is Jasper Johnson

@norrinradd542

Darn! I guess I should have watched Baylor/BYU... Great wisdom that Nike Hoop Summit HS players aren't necessarily going to make the NBA. Not the McDonald's game either... etc. Wish more would see it that way. Edgecombe seems like he's turning the corner though. Robert Wright III is very underrated. I just got feedback that Egor had a good game in this game, and now KP just rubber stamped that I have to watch him again - he's looked like a lottery pick according to trustworthy sources here. Catchings could be a good pair with Dybantsa if he decides to stay. 
A game I did watch last night that was worth watching though was the Alabama/Mississippi State game. Josh Hubbard is a smooth operating basketball player. As good as Mark Sears played last night, Josh Hubbard played at least as good if not better. He made all the good reads and scored at will. I really wish he was 6'5"... heck, even 6'2" he'd have a shot at the league... Seems like a lot of small guards this year are really good. 
Thanks always for the informative, entertaining podcasts! Always appreciated.

I said from the beginning with VJ that he chose the wrong program, similar to Kaman Maluach. Opportunities matter and the organizational support to grow, develop, and showcase is essential. Both needed to go someplace that would feature them in a primary role not complimentary/ tertiary roles. Also consider that they have been featured for most of their young careers so to not be is a disadvantage to finding themselves. In a Rutgers level of a program both could have shown far more.

@mikejones9906

To the people who want to take Flagg over Bailey, watch the highlights from his 37 point performance and tell me if you ever seen a player in college score in that many ways.
