Here is my *early* 2027 NBA Draft Board 1.0! These are my current top 20 prospects for the 2027 cycle, with very fluid tier movement, relevant player skillsets, and a list of players to fade. I’d love to discuss any & all placements👇🏽 #NBADraft

Our roster for the MW4 season 😈 @SimpXO @ScrappyNJ @HyDrAnml @allukaa7 #FaZeUp

The college basketball season is only a few weeks away so here's my 2027 preseason board! With this being such a wide open class I'm expecting a healthy amount of early season movement, but for now feel free to ask any and all questions about prospects' placements!

Blessed to announce I have begun working with @DrivelineBB as a Baseball Operations Analyst and with @AgentiqSports as a Data Science Intern/Consultant. Thank you to @jacklambert__ , @zachkurtz12 , & everyone who has helped me regarding these opportunities - I am so grateful!

The Most Valuable Non-All-Stars in the NBA The league’s most awarded players have an obvious appeal, but inefficiency in identification plagues fans and experts alike. All-Star nods identify *most* of the upper crust; +EV lies in the league’s equally talented, but less-heralded

To my audience and mutuals, I kept you waiting on Substack 6 months too long.. but that wait ends tonight. New words just dropped, you’ll just have to click the link below ⬇️ to learn more

UNC fans should be elated at the level of talent they’re getting in freshman wing Maximo Adams. 6’7, 220 — oozes scoring versatility, physicality + good possession economy. Can defend multiple positions with ↑ size + tools. A name to stash away & monitor for the 2027 NBA Draft.

Here’s a look at UConn’s Colben Landrew in his debut vs. Syracuse, and it’s no surprise why he’s my 3rd ranked prospect of the 2027 NBA Draft. A burly scoring wing with strong tools, defensive activity + feel indicators. He’ll be in contention for best freshman prospect of ‘27.

USC’s Alijah Arenas showed some promising tape in his sophomore debut vs. UNC. Multi-level shot creation with some improved handling, pace + contact absorption on display. If the ancillary skill & scoring efficiency can improve, I’m confident in Arenas as a ‘27 candidate.

Arizona’s Ivan Kharchenkov is my top returning wing prospect & favorite breakout star for the 2027 NBA Draft. 6’7, 250 lbs — a true multi-positional defender that blends size, connective skills, non-stop motor + efficient off-ball scoring. A name to monitor closely this season.

A quick preview of my 2027 NBA Draft big board before the season gets any closer. I'll have a full top-100 board out soon, with more in-depth conversation on philosophy and specific rankings than I can share here.

Guards were the crown jewels of the 2026 NBA Draft class. This cycle? A bit different, to say the least. Still, several intriguing guards returned to school with a chance to boost their stock. For @NoCeilingsNBA, I broke down 10 returners and their paths to rising up boards. Link⬇️

NEWS: 2027 Top-30 overall recruit Ahmed Nur has committed to Ole Miss, he told @Rivals. 

The 6-foot-8 forward took visits to Florida State, Syracuse, and SMU before choosing to play for Chris Beard. on3.com/rivals/news/top-30-o…

Plays like these make me confident in Pat Ngongba returning lottery-level value and being the first big selected in the 2027 NBA Draft. Improvements to the mobility, touch, and verticality from last season, additional to the high-level processing and rim protection he provides.

The notion that AJ Dybantsa has the tools to be a great defender has always been prevalent, but the production rarely matched the hypothesis. The sample size is negligible, but since he graduated to the NBA, he’s been a disruptive defender. His defense stood out most in his preseason debut, and his scoring will always be there. I break it all down 👇 @NoCeilingsNBA

Duke’s Joaquim Boumtje-Boumtje was stellar offensively vs. Belmont but don’t let that overshadow how brilliant he was defensively. 3 BLK + 2 STL in his debut. A towering presence @ 7’1 with movement skills, power + length, able to guard both in space & the interior effectively.

I thought Caleb Wilson struggled on both ends in his preseason debut. Offensively, he rushed and too often settled for jumpers; defensively, he (and the Bulls as a whole) were undisciplined. Wilson was best when the Bulls got him out in space, or when he ran in transition. I'd like to see the team create more play-finishing opportunties for their rookie while he continues to grow as a shooter and creator. I break it all down👇 @NoCeilingsNBA

Dropping my preseason big board, since @NoCeilingsNBA launched V1.0 of the composite big board. Excited to see how it all shakes out. Names not on here that could pop up as risers on my board: Davis Fogle (Gonzaga), David Punch (TCU), Massamba Diop (Gonzaga), Dylan Mingo (Baylor), Ruben Prey (St. John's), Devin Royal (Villanova)

Josiah Rose (‘28 SG) is slowly cementing himself as the best U18 guard prospect in the world. 24.3 PPG on 72% TS, leading ALL of 3SSB in efficiency @ 1.27 PPP. Exceptional multi-level scorer that blends positional size with athleticism, vision, stock generation + play strength.
