Featured Prospects: Keyonte George, Adam Flagler, Jalen Bridges, Jaime Jaquez, Amari Bailey, Adem Bona
As Baylor and UCLA face off during Roman Main Event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, there’s plenty of future NBA talent taking the floor.
One of the best guards in the country is Keyonte George, who has been spectacular for Baylor thus far in his freshman campaign. With that in mind, he’ll be going up against UCLA freshman Amari Bailey, who is a legitimate two-way talent.
As it relates to the bigs in this game, Adem Bona is beginning to emerge as a potential first-round draft selection. Manning the middle for the Bruins, he should be a one-and-done big that contributes at the NBA level this time next year. A defensive-minded player, he’s posted a 84 DSI according to Cerebro Sports through his first couple of college games.
While these prospects headline this contest, there’s still several other players that will have a chance to be drafted in the future. If you’re a fan of the NBA and want to watch a handful of players that will someday be in the league, this is the matchup to tune into.
