At times, we place such an intense focus on the top prospects in high school basketball that we fail to properly evaluate the ancillary players surrounding them. Many of basketball’s top prospects play on national contending teams, meaning they likely aren’t the only elite player on their roster. These elite “role players” tend to be vastly underrated relative to their peers, which regularly leaves evaluators shocked when they break out for their college program.

I am excited to look towards the future of this project.

Some prospects are simply so productive that they defy traditional belief of what it takes to get drafted into the NBA.

It’s difficult to deny that college basketball’s modern ecosystem does not promote loyalty. No matter what your opinions are regarding the transfer portal, it’s understood that seeing a player remain with one program throughout their entire career is no longer the expectation. That’s why Oregon center Nate Bittle is so unique, as he has stuck beside the Ducks throughout his roller coaster college career.
