I think the answer is pretty simple. Most people consider Q to have the most NBA upside because he is the most athletic of the three and is naturally a very strong defender and rim protector. Before that happens though, he needs to show way more on the offensive side than he has so far- put backs and the occasional hook shot aren't enough to make someone stick in this league unless they are transformative on the defensive end, which he is not. I have him slotted as a three year guy for that reason, but nevertheless also recognize that on upside alone I think his athletic profile puts him above the other two.

Qudus is confident he can play the 4 and the five positions. To me that signifies that his outside jumper has improved, also his ball handling, perhaps the game is slowing down for him, and he has additional composure. That will really be something if true. If we get team chemistry going we could shock a lot of people. With all that being said, if it becomes true, he could become a NBA lottery pick in next years draft lottery.

Any news about the team, Wahab, new guys, apart from the promotional "shorts" on Twitter?

Im watching the NBA Channel, and watching so many coaches promoting the abilities of their draft quality players many who were just in college for one year...Qudus will be a sophmore this season and will be getting his shot. It's conceivable that Coach Ewing could be talking about Qudus to NBA coaches next spring, what do you imagine he will have to say about Q? Project! use your imagination...What do you hope he would say?

If he demonstrates that and Hoyas really step forward and play well as a winning team, Qudus would be on his way to the NBA in my opinion...Take it with a grain of salt, but it seems possible to me. Let us see what happens.

Staff thinks he may the best big in the BE. Easily IMO. Q is the reason I haven't gotten all worked up about a scholly for Aminu. That has to be were the staff believes the scholly is coming from. If Q can consistently make the Ewing/Zo 10/15ft jumper he is gone. No one will be able to handle him in the paint....

From a very brief image in the video, he looks like his upper body is bigger, stronger.

Gotta work on the up and under move...the lefty hook in close...the use of the pump fake to draw fouls, and the pass out of the post when crowded/double-teamed...he's improving, just got to keep developing...

Q is really developing into a good player with a bright future. His defense and rebounding at very good and his low post offense continues to improve. If they can add an ability to catch the ball at the free throw line, face up and make the right play (either shoot, attack the rim or swing ball to the weak side) to his game he becomes an all Big East level player. I am more impressed every time I see him. Glad he is seeing the results from his hard work with the staff.

There have been lots of comments about Qudus not passing out of the double-teams and how that has been costing the team.
So, let's give credit when it is due. This Berger highlight starts with Q smartly passing out of the triple-team that is coming.

This Berger highlight starts with Q smartly passing out of the triple-team that is coming. Absolutely good catch. Wahab deserves much credit here for making the quick decision to kick out and the ball movement produced a wide open 3. This should become a routine part of the offense. Hoyas actually have enough shooters if given an open look and could be a very difficult team to defend.

I will say this again regarding 2021 NBA Draft..... IT IS LOADED. Wahab will come back for Junior year. The guy Garza from Iowa will have a tough time going first round in 2021 NBA Draft.
I like what Wahab is doing defensively and look forward to lineups where he will be surrounded by 4 shooters and have plenty of space to operate down low.

Defenders have figured him out. 9 times out of 10 he falls away as he shoots the ball...even when right under the basket. Time to toughen up amd go up strong Q!!

Needs to perfect the up and under move...he's too predictable/mechanical and only goes over his left shoulder...fake right and go left after getting the defender off his feet...use the pump fake, then make your move...go Q!

Still methodical at times. Needs a few thousand more reps to be able to just explode without thinking.

I agree with earlier post - use the pump fake against the shot blocker! He did it one time in the second half and got an and 1.
