#7. Clark Overlander SG 22 6'7'' 202 B- A- B- B+ C- B(Sixers)
Overlander is a very nice prospect. I do think his GM overrates him a bit but besides that Overlander is the real deal. I don't expect him to be a superstar but he will be a solid player in this league for years to come.
Projected Prime Ratings: C+ A C+ B+ C- C
#6. Marcelis Johnson C 21 7'4'' 293 B- D+ D+ A- B- A(Hawks)
The first overall selection in the past draft, Johnson looks to make his mark on UOSL. But so far he has had a tough rookie
season. Although the Hawks are prime for a playoff berth, Johnson has shot horrible so far. He has rebounded the ball pretty well and seems very solid on defense. I can see Johnson being a fixture in the hawks lineup for years to come.
Projected Prime Ratings: B+ D+ D+ A+ B+ C
#5. Dominic Artis PG 22 6'3'' 203 B B- A- B+ C- A
Artis is a great floor general . His scoring abilities for a point guard are excellent. Artis is not really turnover prone
and can defend point guards very well. He also has excellent size for the position. Artis should be one of the best point
guards in the league for years to come. I expect him to make a few all league teams and help get the sonics back to the playoff
success they are used to.
Projected Prime Ratings: B B+ A- A- C- C
#4. Bryan Velasco SF 22 6'6'' 225 B C B- A+ C+ A
Velasco is already the best defender in the league. He gets tons of steals and can block shots. Velasco's offensive game is a
work in progress but so far he has shown signs of becoming a very solid scorer in this league. Also, a great passer and solid
rebounder. He has the total package and should keep improving.
Projected Prime Ratings: B+ C+ B A+ C+ C
#3. Jaylen McLeary C 22 6'11'' 252 B+ C C A- A- B
McLeary has shown a lot of progress since being selected a few seasons ago. He was clearly a steal in the first round. His game
is always improving and his scoring is coming along just fine. He should be the best center in the league in a few season and I expect him to be a 22/13 guy down the line.
Projected Prime Ratings: A- C C A A C
#2. DeVante Smith-Rivera PF 22 6'10'' 259 A- C C- A- A B
Putting Rivera at 2 over McLeary was pretty tough due to Rivera already going through 4 TC's. But Rivera has a very nice inside game and his rebounding is top notch. I would love to see his shot blocking worked on but he averages a steal a game to help compliment his lack of shotblocking. Not sure how long Rivera will stay in Houston since he's a free agent but if he signs else where look for him to take on more of the offensive load and to dominate games.

#1. Allonzo Trier PG 20 6'4'' 208 B- B+ A- A- C A
Last years rookie of the year has had a slow start to this season. Trier has all of the tools to be one of the greats but he's not
that consistent at the moment. Trier posses a great all around game. He can play 3 positions effectively at any time and is the second most valuable player in the league behind Jordan Price. Trier should go down as one of the best players in league history when its all said and done.
