His PER in his one season at UMASS was 15. Unless he really, really improved his 3 point shooting in his one season off, he won't make top 10.
Ya, Top 5 isn't happening this year. Maybe Top 15. He could very well be Top 10 in the 2019-2020 season tho.
his 3pt shooting is honestly the only bad part of his game ..his turnover numbers werent great, but for a ball dominant true freshmen those numbers werent that bad (trae youngs was drastically worse)
the rest of his game is extremely good. assists (elite level) very good shot blocker for a point guard, amazing finisher at the rim. incorporating how tall he is his handles are top level... with his rebounding & steals above average.
(his defensive numbers are decent and umass didn't put that much effort into D, he relied on just being extremely long... which wont be the case with sampson, where defense is emphasized, his defensive numbers could vastly improve)
i wouldnt put him on any top 10 lists in the preseason, but if i was making one for how i think it will play out in the season, i think he'll easily be top 10, and thats with just marginal improvements on his shot. top 3 with vast improvements to his shot..
ill point out that dejon was actually a good shooter in high school (he was 40% in aau) which is why he shot the ball so much at umass..player who think they are a bad shooter dont take that many shots.
also melvin frazier and jacob evans were 4 stars who played in the same Louisiana aau circuit at the same time, dejon was considered the best of the bunch by a margin during those years (and we'd have had both top 10 last year).
there is actually a video of dejon and melvin battling in high school, where dejon's team won by 10 but both of them accounting for 70% of their teams points
