Players to Watch

Don't feel bad for Duke basketball fans after they crashed out of the Elite 8 in an overtime loss to Kansas in the NCAA Tournament; they'll be back next season and might even be better than they were with Marvin Bagley and Grayson Allen.

How, one might ask? Well, they're getting the best player in all of high school basketball (again).

If you haven't seen Barrett play this season, make sure to tune in on Wednesday to watch one of the most physically gifted basketball players to come through the ranks in recent years. Not only is offense continuing to evolve past highlight dunks and layups, his defense is nothing to mess around with as he will hound his defender down for an entire game.

As his jump-shot continues to become more consistent, Barrett will soon be talked about as the No. 1 overall pick in next year's draft, if he isn't already getting that type of buzz.

Bol Bol

The son of former NBA giant Manute Bol, Bol Bol won't be playing under his father's shadow through his career. After all, Bol Bol is already 7'3" at just 18 years old.

The University of Oregon commit should see a lot of playing time as a freshman for the Ducks next season, but that's no excuse to not watch him on Wednesday against top-flight competition. Although there is a possibility that Bol might not feature in the game, according to The Oregonian. 

While Bol is very thin, much like his father, he is leaps and bounds more talented than his father ever was with his athleticism and understanding of the game.

But when it comes to games like this, where players like Bol and Barrett can showcase what they bring to the court, spectators want to see Bol use his length and size to disrupt shooters. After all, his 7'8" wingspan should offer the same awestruck moments that former Texas Longhorn freshman Mohamed Bamba did at times this past season.

Zion Williamson

Oh look, another top-flight recruit going to the Blue Devils. Poor Coach K.

If you haven't heard of Williamson at this point, you've been living under a rock. Good thing it won't take more than 30 seconds on YouTube to find out what all the hype is about regarding the 6'7", 250-pound phenom who draws comparisons to former NBA Hall-of-Famers.

While Williamson is regarded for his dunking ability and strength, he needs to prove to the country that he's a much more well-rounded player than he gets credit for. 

Williamson can create off the dribble and draw contact on drives, and he isn't afraid to pull up and shoot inside of the arc. The real question regarding Williamson will be his ability to knock down shoots from the NBA three-point line, but the time will come for him to improve his all-around game.
