At least with Simmons I could understand the hype even if I didn't really agree. Porter seems like most of his hype is coming from having a NBA ready body in a weaker class.

Tremont Water didn't make the roster
Waters is overrated, there are at least 5 PGs who I would have rather seen make the roster over him.
True but comparing Simmons to Lebron was absurd
So nobody gonna talk bout the Gawd Lonnie Walker :Bless:
Klutch started that.
Rivals main guy hinted that he's the best wing prospect since Wiggins.
I don't know how the ESPN scrimmage practice look like, but Porter was the clear #1 player in the nation here. The NBA scouts was going crazy for him. Sexton is clearly a SG, but if they list him as a PG, him and Jaylen Hands should challenge Duval as the top PG. Those two impressed me more, and I've been riding with Tre since the 8th grade.
Knox and Lonnie impressed me a lot too, and both should move up in the rankings. I still think UK needs to have a veteran guard on next years team, but Quade is a PG that I love. Kid is very pass first, and seems to play better when he is surrounded by talent.
Collin is too small to play the 2 and his PG skills aren't the greatest, that holds him back. Personally I am not the biggest fan of Hands either.
My top 3 PGs are
1. Duval
2. Scruggs
3. Quade
Stock Risers in no order
1) Kevin Knox, should be consensus top 5
2) Collin Sexton, should be consensus top SG
3) Lonnie Walker
4) Jaylen Hands
5) Michael Porter ( established his position as the #1 kid)
6) Brandon McCoy - if this ends up at Oregon with Troy Brown, watch out
People who haven't impress me so far.
1) Nick Richards ( you would think tri-state bias might kick in, but I've never been impressed with this kid)
2) Trae Young ( I think he's way better what he shown)
3) Wendell Carter
4) PJ Washington ( to be fair I think he's injured)
5) Jaren Jackson ( Dead ass I had to ask who he was twice.
6) Brian Bowen ( Yes, he does look like Big Bird, but doesn't care)
The rest have been decent. The girls side, Megan Walker and Evina Westbrook are clearly the top 2 players in the nation. These two were unstoppable.

I don't really get the Brian Bowen hype either.
But as far as consensus top SG that should be Doncic, not Sexton.

Collin been killing everybody tho. Hes the one..
He's great, really impressed me last summer but he's in the Malik Monk realm of not being a PG or having the size for the 2. That's going to limit his draft position.
