Who are the best players in Overtime Elite?
City Reaper: Amen Thompson, Ausar Thompson
The Thompson twins are the two best prospects OTE has to offer as both 19-year-olds are expected to be among the top 10 picks in the 2023 NBA draft. Amen and Ausar were rated as five-star prospects in the Class of 2022 before declaring they were taking the OTE route rather than going to college.
Kalte Herzen: Bryson Tiller, Rob Dillingham, Tyler Smith
Tiller is a 6-foot-9 power forward who was the No. 5 player in the class of 2025 before declaring for OTE.
Dillingham is a five-star candidate who will bring his talents to the University of Kentucky next season. While he was still a member of the Donda Doves, the 6ft 2 guard has shown at OTE’s early-season tournament.
Smith is a 6-foot-10 power forward who was a five-star recruit in the Class of 2023 with offers from elite schools like Baylor, Kansas and LSU.
YNG Dreamerz: Naasir Cunningham, Jazian Gortman, Alexandre Sarr
Cunningham was the No. 3 player in the Class of 2024 with offers from a very impressive list of schools. The 6-foot-7 small forward drew interest from Duke, UCLA, Maryland, UConn, LSU and Creighton, among others, but chose the OTE route instead.
Gortman is a 6-foot-2 shooting guard who was a five-star recruit in the Class of 2022 with offers from schools including Kansas, Illinois, Texas, Wake Forest, Alabama, Florida and Miami.
Sarr is a 7-foot-1 center with wing skills who looks to be a future darling of NBA draft tweeters. To find out more about him and his sky-high potential, check out Gilbert McGregor’s profile of TSN’s OTE star.
