Thats where the list seems to not make sense. He says it's based on college game and my NBA, that's why a guy like McDermott is so high. Well if you're going solely by the college game, maymon should be very similar to stokes. Unless of course this guy is expecting stokes to put up huge numbers and for maymon to digress.

I would rank Boynton the highest of all the three by far, then Young, then Murphy. Murphy is a great shooter with great size, but he's average defensively and was a non-factor on the boards for much of last season.

Boynton is ridiculously undervalued in this list. He's every bit the shooter that Clarke is, except Boynton can play defense, can distribute the ball, and can create his own shot. He made 110 threes last year while shooting over 40%. It's tough to imagine someone who put up the stats he did last year can fly so far under the radar, especially at a program like Florida.

And I think Stokes has the ability to live up to his ranking, but at this point I'd probably rank him just a few spots above Maymon.

Thanks for the feedback on UF. I was thinking somewhat along those same lines. Boynton shared the backcourt with a Lottery pick at SF and a somewhat reluctant passer at PG. I expect this year he will get more opportunities to score than last year.

I'm a huge Stokes fan but Maymon should be agreed of him based off of production from last season.

I agree about boynton overall, however he is not "every bit" the shooter Clarke is. Clarkes last season he made 40 more threes than boynton, and shot 4% better, give the man his credit.

Yeah if Stokes is #11 on the list, Maymon should be somewhere in the top 50. I think anyway...

If its off college ball, like he says, then yes I agree.

But a different case if this were a list of NBA prospects...

[Chris4Vols22]

The same site has us at 16 in the early preseason rankings

16 Tennessee (19-15, NIT) – Four starters are back from a team that started to look pretty good in February. Jarnell Stokes, who had a nice 2nd half of the season, could be a 1st team All-SEC candidate.

Boynton 2011-12: 110-270 (40.7%)
Clarke 2010-11: 91-208 (43.8%)

Er...

Also has Maryland 13th after the worst season in a decade for them and losing their best player.

What I'm saying is there isn't much validity to what he says, even though i think he's correct.

My apologies used his fg not 3pt, forget I said that haha. Although Clarkes average is still very impressive for how many he takes.

Agree still with the general point thought, boynton is underrated on that list.

Yep if he's basing it strictly off of college, then he has to be on the list.

[Purplehaze26]

I'm a little surprised he is as high as 11. Until he can show more aggressiveness, and demand the ball more, I think he has much more room for improvement. Hopefully he will show leadership and toughness this season.

Maymon should definitely be on this list.
