Dick Vitale’s preseason ‘Diaper Dandies’ for 2023-24
This might be one of the deeper classes of impactful freshmen I’ve seen in a long time, and I’m so excited to watch them develop into PTPers. All 12 are projected starters, and eight are considered NBA lottery picks — which could make the 2024 draft one of the youngest on record.
It was frightful to see Bronny James get sidelined, but I’m keeping him on this list, in the hope that we get to see his talent displayed at some point this year. Get well, young man.
Here’s the Dazzling Dozen Diaper Dandies:
Xavier Booker, Michigan State Spartans
Elliott Cadeau, North Carolina Tar Heels
Stephon Castle, UConn Huskies
Isaiah Collier, USC Trojans
Justin Edwards, Kentucky Wildcats
Kwame Evans, Oregon Ducks
Bronny James, USC Trojans
Jared McCain, Duke Blue Devils
Mackenzie Mgbako, Indiana Hoosiers
D.J. Wagner, Kentucky Wildcats
Ja’Kobe Walter, Baylor Bears
Cody Williams, Colorado Buffaloes
