"Skinny: I love Peat's game. Though where I have trouble with him is his shooting - or lack thereof. He doesn't have good touch outside of ~15 feet, and that will be an issue at the next level as a big wing/undersized big. That said, Peat, the son of former NFL OL Todd Peat, is built like a Mack Truck. He's an excellent passer, is sneaky bouncy, smart team defender and is crafty around the rim with very good footwork."
"Skinny: Lendeborg will be one of the oldest prospects in the class upon draft time. The 6-foot-9 wing is the most impactful player on one of the best teams in the country. The two-time AAC player of the year is averaging 14.4 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.9 stocks in his lone season at Michigan. He offers a very high floor as a rebounder, connector and play finisher. He's excellent in the open floor and is a very smart player on both ends."
"Skinny: I've moved Yessoufou all around my big board this season. Where he stands out is defensively - he's an absolute monster on that end of the floor. For one, his motor is a 15 out of 10 on every possession. He's incredibly strong; he's built like a linebacker. It's very difficult for guards to create separation because of Yessoufou's center of gravity and core strength."
Multiple wing prospects exhibit standout defensive and physical traits but display varying offensive polish. Koa Peat is extremely physical, an excellent passer, sneaky bouncy, smart team defender, and crafty around the rim, but lacks reliable shooting beyond roughly 15 feet, limiting his offensive upside as a big wing/undersized big. Yaxel Lendeborg, a 6-foot-9, two-time AAC player of the year, averages 14.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 2.9 stocks, offering a high floor as a rebounder, connector, and play finisher while excelling in transition and team defense. Tounde Yessoufou is a defensive force with exceptional strength, motor, and on-ball difficulty for guards; offensive creation remains a work in progress despite efficient scoring.
