Defense:
Able's anticipation and active hands make him a disruptive off ball defender. He excel at reading passing lane, generating steal, and creating transition opportunities. Adding strength and becoming a reliable primary on ball defender could significantly raise his ceiling
Outlook:
Able has the shooting, athleticism, and defensive instincts to become a valuable NBA rotation guard. Improved shooting efficiency, rim pressure, and self creation could make him a first rounder. Developing into a strong on ball defender could push him into the lottery.
Marcus Wilson | UC Davis → Sac State:
6'3" guard averaging 12.5 PPG and 3.9 APG. Pushes the pace in transition (1.12 PPP), creates for teammates, and draws fouls attacking downhill. Shot 32.3% from 3. Improving his perimeter efficiency could elevate his scoring versatility.
Caden Diggs | UMBC → Troy:
Explosive 6'8" forward who thrives attacking closeouts, finishing above the rim, and running in transition. Averaged 10.3 PPG on 49% FG and 35.7% from 3. His athleticism and developing perimeter shot give him intriguing complementary scoring potential
Tyler Spratt | Detroit Mercy:
6'7" wing with legitimate 3 and D potential. Shot 38.7% from 3 on 4.6 attempts per game with a quick release. Horizon League All Freshman selection. His shooting and size stand out, while rim pressure and self creation remain development areas.
TJ Robinson | Saint Peter's → Longwood:
Talented 6'4" shot creator with scoring and playmaking upside. Excels drawing contact with an elite 69.0 FT rate (99th percentile). Averaged 9.5 PPG and 2.5 APG. His 26.1% 3P shooting remains the biggest area for improvement

Narit Chotikavanic | SFA:
6'2" movement shooter who hit 39.2% from 3 on 6.5 attempts per game. Quick release, deep range, and comfortable shooting off screens. Uses his shooting gravity to attack closeouts and get to short pull-ups, though he rarely pressures the rim.
#SFAMBB
James Evans Jr. | CSUN → UC Riverside:
Smooth 6'6" wing with three-level scoring potential. Shows craft finishing around the basket and flashes perimeter shot-making (33.3% from 3). Averaged 5.8 PPG. Improving his efficiency and consistency could unlock a larger offensive role.
Filip Brankovic | UTRGV → High Point:
Skilled 6'8" Serbian forward with a strong frame and patient offensive game. Averaged 13 PPG on 52.6% FG and 83.6% 3P. Effective post scorer with pick & pop ability. Not explosive, but uses his size, touch, and pace to score efficiently.
Adriel Nyorha | USF → Pacific:
Intriguing 6'5" guard with good change of pace and flashes of scoring and playmaking ability. Limited production last season (3.7 PPG, 1.8 APG), but his size and feel give him upside. A larger role at Pacific could provide a breakout opportunity.
Quinn Woidke | Kent State:
6'0" guard with a quick release who shot 40.3% from 3 on 5 attempts per game. Uses his shooting gravity to attack closeouts, get downhill, and draw fouls. His combination of perimeter efficiency and aggressive driving makes him a dangerous scorer.
Defense:
Defense is Byrd's clear strength. He averaged 3.2 stocks per game, using his length, instincts, and active hands to disrupt passing lanes and block shots. Adding strength could help him develop from a versatile team defender into a more reliable primary on ball stopper.
Outlook:
Everything start with his shooting. If he become a reliable catch and shoot threat, his defense and connective passing give him a clear rotation role. Adding strength and becoming a primary perimeter defender would raise his ceiling, but the jumper must develop first.
