Also now that I caught up on the EYBL games I would put Michtell Robinson in this category. I know I said the opposite last time I mentioned him but that was before I caught up on all the games. He is a beast on defense. Offense is raw like Bamba though

yea, all of the so called guru's are really talking about how Robinson has dominated the paint & is improving. He may wind up the best choice of all

Ok I just watched all of his games in the Atlanta session. I changed my mind again, he is not as raw on offense as Bamba. He's actually right up there with Carter. This kid is going to end up top 10 in his class at worse and possibly top 5.

I think Ayton will be and is the most talented out of the entire bunch. I know Bamba got the best of him not too long ago, but that happens to the best of them and it doesn't mean Bamba is the better player. I guess it would depend on what you're looking for in a frontcourt player. If you want a big that can control games with his defense, you go with Bamba. If you want scoring, you go with Ayton. That is IF and a very big IF, IF the kid gets the grades to be able to play college basketball. It's sad to think that's not even the most likely outcome. When you are as talented as a kid like Ayton, grades should be the last thing that holds you back from playing where you want to play college basketball. The grades part should be a must for every student athelete. I can't even think about having the talent a kid like Ayton has and no hitting the books as hard as you hit the court. The sad part is, it's not like you have to always get A's on your report card to get to play college hoops. It shouldn't be that hard to average C+ or better in highschool. It's just insane to even think about.

Why do you keep talking like Ayton doesn't get good grades? He's actually a good student
