My Take
Jordan Hawkins is the young player whose ceiling excites me most right now. Out of Gaithersburg, Maryland, he walked the blue-chip path from DeMatha to UConn before the Pelicans took him 14th overall in the 2023 draft. His calling card is that gorgeous three-point stroke, paired with relentless off-ball movement that wears defenders out running through screens. His career is still in its early chapters, but elite shooters can flip a game in a heartbeat. I'm genuinely eager to see this kid catch fire on a big stage, because when a pure shooter gets hot, everything changes.
