The Washington frosh PF/C Isaiah Stewart could be the 1st pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.

Pre season mock drafts - Top 5 right now and the 2nd big guy off after James Wiseman of Memphis.

We sure don’t have a lack of competition this season.

Georgia Tech site doing a preview. Guess they didn’t get the word about Brooks…odd since he’s in their town right now.

If the Jackets are able to get past the Broncos, they would likely avoid a matchup against assistant head coach Eric Reveno’s former team, the Portland Pilots. This would pair the Jackets against Houston, a team who reached the Sweet Sixteen last year. Unlike the Jackets and Broncos, the Houston Cougars experienced some roster turnover, returning only 57% of their scoring. The Cougars lose their starting backcourt from last season in Corey Davis Jr and Galen Robinson Jr, who were 2 of their top 3 scorers. Head coach Kelvin Sampson won’t be panicking though as senior Armoni Brooks and sophomore Nate Hinton should hold down the fort without skipping a beat. According to 247, Hinton was the 4th highest rated recruit to ever sign with the Cougars in 2018 and followed up that title with an impressive freshman season (box score plus minus of 7.0). Houston signed a 3 man class in 2019 including a consensus top-150 player in J’Wan Roberts. Roberts should provide depth at forward, while the other two additions, Caleb Mills and Marcus Sasser, should provide depth at guard. Caleb Mills will have the opportunity for early minutes due to the graduation of Davis and Robinson. Houston also added Kansas guard Quentin Grimes via transfer, who was a consensus 5 recruit coming out of high school. Fortunately for the Jackets, Grimes will have to sit the 2019-2020 season due to NCAA transfer rules.*
