Bryce McGowens-Nebraska
Another freshman who has impressed, McGowens is averaging 27 points and 5.5 rebounds in two games so far this season and will be a name to keep an eye on.
Jalen Duren-Memphis
This Memphis team is loaded with young talent, including center Jalen Duren, who is thought to be the second-best big in this class.
Duren showed why in his first game, scoring 15 points and grabbing six rebounds to go with five blocked shots. He and Bates are going to be fun to watch this season. Though the New Orleans Pelicans don’t need a center on paper, the play of Jaxson Hayes has to have the team wondering if he is the answer.
