Really strong showing from Mizzou’s D’Moi Hodge in a Roger Brown’s win here at PIT. The U.S. Virgin Islands native scored a game-high 26 PTS on just 10 shots. Efficient 3-and-D off-guard who plays w/ an edge defensively, runs the floor, and can get hot from deep.

Houston freshman, Terrance Arceneaux, was spectacular starring in his role against Oregon. Infectious energy + impact as a spark off the bench, catalyzing a game-changing 12-0 run. Fits the mold of what NBA teams covet on the wing. Just scratching the surface of what he can be.

Chicago State’s Wesley Cardet Jr. has filed early entrant paperwork for the 2024 NBA Draft, he tells me. The 6’6” junior wing averaged 18.7 PTS, 4.5 REB, 2.6 AST for the Cougars this season. Intriguing sleeper w/ an NBA-ready frame — should drum up a bevy of pre-draft workouts.

Watching Marquette’s Tyler Kolek getting some shots up in Chicago ahead of the NBA Draft Combine. The fiery, ultra-competitive two-time consensus All-American floor general projects as a potential late 1st round pick.

Getting a close look at Johnny Furphy ahead of the NBA Draft Combine. The baby-faced Aussie swingman has been on a sharp upward trajectory since his breakout at last summer’s NBA Academy Games. Exceeded expectations as a freshman at Kansas, now slated as a likely 1st rounder.
