In this short monologue, Draymond Green reviews a series of extraordinary scoring performances by five true freshmen in the 2025‑26 college basketball season—AJ DeBonsa (43 points), Kingston Flemmons (42 points), Keeton Wegeler (46 points), Cam Boozer (32 points) and Darius Acuff (31 points). He argues that the collective talent and immediate impact of this group may represent the strongest freshman class since the era of Derrick Rose and Eric Gordon, and he speculates that these players will be high‑profile selections in the upcoming NBA draft, making the draft class unusually deep and difficult to evaluate. Green’s tone is energetic and celebratory, emphasizing the rarity of such high‑scoring outings from first‑year players.

So a couple days ago in college basketball, AJ DeBonsa scores 43 points. Kingston Flemmons from Houston scores 42 points. Keeton Wegeler from Illinois scores 46 points. Cam Boozer from Duke scores 32 points. Darius Acuff, who I was talking about on my Threads account, scores 31 points. These are all freshmen. This has to be the most loaded freshman class probably since Derrick Rose. Eric Gordon. You talking about immediate impact. And by the way, this may be the best freshman class ever. Scoring at this magnitude, scoring 43 in college is insane. 46, 42 in college? I think the only one that went into overtime, if I'm not mistaken, is Houston. It's unbelievable. You talking about an incredible NBA draft? Some of these guys gonna fall in the draft, like you just have to. You at the top of this draft, whoo, it's gonna be hard to get it wrong. Woo!
