Thanks to recently lax rules, Garnett is the first player to consider a HS-to-TMBSL jump since LeBron James in 2027... though it is likely because he wouldn't qualify at any major colleges. He is almost all potential at this point, but his vision and handles are incredible for a player his age. Most scouts think he'll come into the league as a reliable/decent scorer, sporting a solid free throw line stroke and dabbling with the three pointer, and bringing low turnovers and talented defense to the table. There aren't many like him that have entered the league, especially not at such a young age. For now, we can point to his soft hands and quick mind to show that he won't turn the ball over much and will regularly come up with steals. What we don't know is a much longer list. The only real downsides that are evident are his slight frame (but given his age he could realistically gain 30 pounds by the time his reaches his TMBSL prime) and a surprisingly limited leaping prowess, which for now limits him on the defensive boards especially. He needs room to grow, but Garnett is one of the more intriguing prospects in the class and has the mindset to deliver on his promise.
