Is Alabama’s Brandon Miller a lottery lock? Who is Duke’s best prospect? JeremyWoo analyzes ↓
, and finishing with three days of games in Portland at the expansive, 16-team PK85 tournament.
In what can be described as somewhat of a surprise twist, freshman Kyle Filipowski has emerged as Duke’s best player through eight games and legitimized himself as a one-and-done candidate in the process. I was in wait-and-see mode with Filipowski after not being wowed by him in the spring, but it’s hard to ignore his productivity, competitiveness and skill level at his listed 7'0”.
As for the other Duke guys, there’s some real concern among scouts surrounding freshman center Dereck Lively, who hasn’t been very impactful at all and has yet to score more than five points in a game. It can take bigs a long time to adjust to college basketball, but it’s almost more concerning that Lively just hasn’t looked extremely engaged in most games. He did show some mettle battling against Purdue’s gargantuan star Zach Edey.
A popular preseason breakout pick for many observers, Jones had an overall strong showing in Portland and continues to solidify his appeal as a future NBA role player. It was hard not to walk away impressed with his improved shot-making prowess and stronger frame, while his excellent feel for moving the ball and team defense make him a valuable cog for Xavier.
