Undersized big men that solidify themselves around the basket, pushing guys around underneath with their brute strength, and try to dunk everything and on everyone that gets in their way, Both of them also have the ability to knock down jumpers but know their games well enough to only use it when needed. With attributes like this, Texas Au0026amp;M is getting their next gritty interior presence to the likes of which they had Deandre Jordan and Rob Williams.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64a621c15c180"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1106050"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eBuddy Hield at Oklahoma never saw a shot he didn't like, and if you've followed [player_tooltip player_id='1106050' first='Que' last='Duncan']'s career throughout his High School and AAU days it's much of the same. A pure three -evel scorer, Duncan looks at his defenders as if he's doing cone drills. He might be asked at the next level to be just a pure knockdown shooter from the 3pt area; which he is perfectly capable of, but don't get it twisted, Duncan finished his senior year as one of the most dangerous scorers in New England.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64a621c15c1ea"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1199656"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eIf you are looking for just a sound basketball player that will make all the right plays and score in spurts, look no further than PSA's [player_tooltip player_id='1199656' first='Duane' last='Thompson']. Thompson can do everything you need him to do on the court and do it at a high level. He can defend with the best, block shots around the rim, finish around the rim, and shoot the 3 ball at a good percentage too. It's hard to find any holes in his game, but it's also hard to put him over some of the top guys in his class, similar to Brooklyn Net and former UNC Tar Heel, Cam Johnson. Johnson has played a huge role on every team he's been on in the NBA and in College, but it is tough to see him as the marquee guy on any of those teams, Thompson may have that same predicament at the collegiate level, but no doubt there's going to be a spot and role for him to play on any team as far as he wants to go. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64a621c15c24c"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1489299"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eWith the athlete that [player_tooltip player_id='1489299' first='Chike' last='Ndefo'] is, it was hard to narrow down his player comparison to just one player. With that being said, do you remember the Memphis and Toronto days of Rudy Gay? Where he would just casually be scoring 20-25 points a night, would mix in a few posters in there but just nobody would be paying attention to it? Well Ndefo's offensive game pretty much personifies that. He looks to get down hill first always, but you take that away he can still hurt you from mid-range and the three-point line. What Gay didn't do that Ndefo does is play a pivotal role in the defensive end too. His quick feet around the perimeter will halt your best guard, and his shot blocking ability is among the best in the class, which is where I bring the Jarace Walker comparison for the defensive end. All criminally underrated, all elite athletes on the hardwoodu003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64a621c15c2ab"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1204660"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eThe difference between the 3-level scorers that have been mentioned in these 6-10 rankings and [player_tooltip player_id='1204660' first='Jay' last='Jones'] is that Jones is the most undersized of the bunch. Make no mistake about it though, Jones is a pure hooper. He can rise up over any opposing guard from 3, and scores in bunches. We don't hear about him, but he will torch the opposition in the scoring department, much like Brooklyn Nets guard [player_tooltip player_id='2878886' first='Cam' last='Thomas']. We saw Thomas really breakout this year when given the opportunity; Jones can see much of the same if he finds the right fit at the collegiate level.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64a621c15c321"} /-->
