Three GW players made the list. Can you guess who and in what order?

I read the list so I wont chime in with an answer but a Question.
Did Tre Mitchell get NBA buzz or not yet?
He's going to be a beast to contend with for the league until he does. Is there an NBA ceiling there??

I feel it's awesome that we have 3 players on the list! I think Jameer, Jamison definitely and probably Amir?

The third player was Maceo, not Amir. Doesn't look like Amir should be counted on to play this season, assuming that there is a season. Consider it a pleasant surprise if he does. For the record, my guess, in order, was Battle followed by Nelson followed by Paar.

Wow! I don't know how I forgot about Maceo. He had an awesome season last year. Now I feel that we should have 4 returning players in the top 50. Jameer, Jamison, Maceo and Amir! And when we add all the new great players, I feel we are going to be a force in the A-10!

Not sure if Maceo’s season raised to the level of awesome, but it certainly was solid. He displayed a greater offensive variety beyond the 3 point shot, but even more important was his defense was greatly improved. Now in the second year of a new system, adjustments to a new coach and numerous new teammates and good new Incoming players, this season may very well be an awesome one for Maceo, maybe even finding himself on one of the post season all conference teams. If there is a season.

I think both Jamison and Maceo will benefit from the addition of Sloan. Their ppg may not go up too much or anything with us having more depth, but they will certainly get more quality shots and be more efficient with less attention just on them. It was hard for them to get great shots since they were the only two guys who could make threes reliably but that should change this season. JNJ will also hopefully improve his three point shooting as well this year.
Interesting that there are only two VCU guys on the list, and although I think Ward does have great potential, I don't think it's enough to put him top 50. Give me Amir (when healthy) or Chase over him. Paar was pretty good, especially considering he only played half the season. For a good stretch of A10 play, he led all players in field goal percentage. I think he has a lot more range than he showed in game. His three point shot looked good and he was knocking them down pretty consistently in shootaround. Hopefully the coaching staff allows him to stretch out a bit this year. Anyways, back to VCU - Hyland is the only sure piece returning. I wouldn't be surprised to see Ace Baldwin make the all-freshman team this year though. He was awesome in HS in Baltimore. Will be fun to see the Tyler + James vs. Ace matchups in college. The MSJ vs. SFA games were always exciting.
