I feel the exact same way about all three of the freshmen (which is impressive for a three man class) but I'm unsure as to which I feel is going to turn out as the greatest college player. They all have a ton of potential.
Lucas: With his speed and handle, if he continues to improve on his decision making and perimeter shot, he could become a force as soon as next season.
Allen: His jumpshot is in a funk right now but it's by far his greatest strength. I've been impressed with his midrange game. I didn't know he had that skill. Once he regains control of his stroke it'll open up his dribble drive game which will take him to the next level.
Summers: Already has the all-around package, it's just rough around the edges. He can sky for rebounds. His perimter jumper is promising. His stroke from the line is pure. Once his handle improves just a touch it'll allow him to take advantage of his abilities to hang around the rim and finish and draw fouls.
