Hobbs will turn heads at The Expo. That's not a prediction, that's a promise. He's an elite athlete and I'd call him a defensive playmaker. Hobbs understands angles on D and can create instant offense off of it. Offensively, he's a true multi level scorer.

Evaluations are normally subscriber-only but when an athlete subscribes, theirs becomes free for all readers. Subscribing doesn't change who the Scout covers, it changes who gets to see it.

Favors is an extremely high upside prospect. He can play the game effectively at any speed - I saw it multiple times this summer. Even coached against his game speed and feel. Favors has a next level frame to go with it. I really feel like he's going to be a steal at the next level.
