"Ben McCollum's scheme is very point guard-friendly. But Stirtz essentially took the same roster from D-II (two years ago) and willed Iowa to 20-plus wins. He's averaging 20.0 points and 4.5 assists with absurd usage. He's exceptional in ball-screens, is a very good shooter in tight spaces and doesn't get sped up with the rock in his hands."
"I'm dangerously close to moving Burries into my top-8. Contrary to some people's belief, I think he's clearly Arizona's best prospect. There's nothing he can't do well on a basketball court. Finish? Got it. Shoot? Got it? Play off-ball off a cutter and secondary creator? Got it. Playmake? Got it. Defend at the point-of-attack? Got it. Rebound? He's one of the best guard rebounders in the country."
The 2024-25 NBA season concludes as March Madness begins, marking the most exciting period of the basketball calendar. The Miami Heat possess two draft picks—one in each round—prompting an evaluation of potential 2026 NBA Draft prospects competing in the NCAA Tournament. Thirteen first-round prospects are identified for monitoring, with several players noted as outside the Heat's range, including AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cameron Boozer, Caleb Wilson, Darius Acuff, and Kingston Flemings. Key prospects include Bennett Stirtz from Iowa, a point guard excelling in ball-screens and shot creation; Brayden Burries from Arizona, considered the team's best prospect with versatile skills across all facets; and Braylon Mullins from UConn, a freshman shooter whose future declaration remains uncertain.
