Surprised

I’m in shock that Birch got the nod over Myck. From the little I have seen of Birch, he seems like a supreme athlete but very raw. I know he had a huge game at the Nike worlds. Kabongo was the co-MVP at the elite 24. Is it Kabongo’s height that is bringing him down?

P.S.

Any info on Pierre-Charles? He doesn’t seem to be getting the love from the U.S. colleges that the rest of the top-10 have recieved.

I knew I’d get this question about Birch so I asked the source. He said, as I thought, was the ranking is based on the upside. Birch may be raw but that translates into more upside as Kabongo. Myck is more skilled now and a better overall player now but you really can’t teach height, athleticism and instinct. In those terms, Birch is one up.
