Kinda early, but kinda not. I always thought Dennis Smith Jr. was getting overlooked in the point guard class. He's my pick. Perfect fit/situation. Dallas needs a PG/scorer/potential star replacement for Dirk. I know it's Summer League, but he has looked incredible. Reminds me a lot of (the good things about) Steve Francis.

The best rookie I've seen is Tatum. Smith, Fultz, Fox, Jackson and Ball will have plenty of playing time to put up numbers as well. To me the sleeper is Mitchell at Utah.
Unless the Ags are playing, I don't follow college ball at all, but yeah, the highlights I've seen of Smith seem legit.
I think Tatum is probably the favorite right now.
Tatum if we're guessing now. But op has a good point about Smith Jr. I like that pick as well.
Changing my prediction. As a Celtics fan, it pains me to pick the Lakers new guard. But his 7/9 shooting combined with his elite defense and show time passes puts him ahead of the field.

If Caruso can start hitting 3s at about a 35-36% clip, he's at least got a solid shot as a 3 and D type guy in the NBA. Throw in that he can handle the ball and has great instincts passing the ball, if he can just shoot it consistently he's gonna make an NBA roster. I would love for the Spurs to take a chance on him and let him work with Chip Engelland.
So Lonzo is the real deal.

He shot 40.1% from 3-point range in the G League.
The Spurs did have a chance with him.. when he was on their D league team.West Texan said:CactusThomas said:

He was never an Austin Spur. Caruso played on the OKC team

Another triple double for Lonzo.
