Brendan Marks

He is a character that might not be for everybody.

I understand that.

But I was a little bit surprised that Moraes Johnson went ahead of him and Adai Mara.

You know, again, I just mentioned LeBaron Phylon falling to 22.

To me, that's an absolute steal.

I mean, I think he's a guy who could have gone in the lottery.

And I think he's going to contribute for Philly as a third guard, you know, immediately next year.

The other interesting one for me was the Spurs doubling down on two bigs and kind of had a high ceiling and a high floor option with Jaden Quaintance from Kentucky and Terrace Reed from UConn.

You know, Terrace Reed could play in an NBA game yesterday.

You know, he's physically built.

He's cut.

He's going to be productive.

You know, he's nothing really that's going to wow you, but you look up and he's got 13 and 13.

You know, James Quaintance, on the other hand, has, you know, lottery potential if his knee is healthy in the long term.

And I think the Spurs can afford to let him take a redshirt year of shorts.

So a couple of interesting takeaways.

But, you know, Phylon to me at 22, man, what a good pick by Philly.

Yeah, I think there's three guys, and everybody's kind of looking at the same three.

It's the three underclassmen who declared early, still had eligibility, could have gone back to school, and Isaiah Evans from Duke, Malik Thomas from Arkansas, and Henry Vessar from North Carolina.

I wouldn't say that I'm necessarily surprised or shocked that the three of them are still available.
