Q and Lowe are also projected to be selected

And I'll say it again, I'm super excited about Kam. I think he has the highest ceiling, aside from JQ, on this team and could easily be our best addition next season. I don't know if I like that the national media catching on or not.

And Jayden Quaintance is projected in one mock draft to be a top-5 pick. The thing is. We are going to have a lot more talented team this year than the season that just ended & the season that just ended if we could have stayed healthy we were a Final Four team that was capable of winning the national championship. We beat Final Four team Duke & national champion Florida. Next season we should be even better.

He and JQ have the highest upside. Look for both of them and maybe Oweh being late firsts. I’m good with them being late firsts if they can land on a solid team. He averages 40 percent from three and apparently a good defender. If he can work on a quick first step and if he can also become a cutter maaaaaaan he’s gonna be unreal. Could be best 6th man (I just don’t see him over taking Oweh). Maybe move OO to SG by season end and Kam in starting line up?

Would love for Lowe, Williams and Quaintance to live up to their potential. That’s a killer inside/outside punch. Lowe getting to the rim and finishing or dishing, Williams as a shooter, and Quaintance scoring around the rim on lobs, putbacks, and post ups.

The more I think about it, the more I think that Williams might start on the wing alongside Oweh. And if Oweh leaves, I definitely see Williams starting.

It's just crazy that we're going to be 14 deep when Oweh decides he's coming back. That's just unheard of in basketball today to be honest!

You think Williams has higher upside than Jasper Johnson?
It’s close but as of right now yes. And the thing is between kam jq Lowe and jj it’s close. It’s very close. But right now his skill set gives him more opportunities to play. Defense gets you on the floor more rn imo

Like Pope said in that KSR interview, "Kam Williams (I am no genius, I did not see something everyone missed, NBA Guys love Kam Williams, they all see the talent)".

Pope got a good one and he knows he will get the best out of him and for him. Put him in a place to shine.

If Kam can score like 8pts per game, 40%3pt and make good defense here

He will be nba player after next season...

I've felt all along that he may be the best portal addition we made. He could be a beast,
Maybe, or Quaintence if healthy. But regardless, even if Oweh stays in the draft, a guy like Kam Williams could come in and have that same sort of impact that Oweh had and maybe we don’t miss him as much. The same could be said about any number of players we have now. We’re loaded and deeeeeeep even without Oweh. Just getting Oweh back will be icing on the cake, with sprinkles.
