So PKM ya gonna spill the beans on this class or what?! Is it as simple as top-heavy and there's depth??
Bout to sit down and watch a few games, figured I'd check in on this class around draft time. I thought it was noteworthy you were suggesting to trade the 2015 pick for a 3rd 1st rounder in 2017. There looks to be some players rated in the 50's 60's and 70's. The Bigs don't really seem all that big to me though.
Have you heard anything on Abdul Ado? He still really stands out IMO next to some of these 2016 bigs. He measured 6'11 with a 7'3½" wingspan yesterday at the Nike Academy.
Whats the deal with James Banks? Is he way underrated? I read 6'10 and 7'5" wingspan..
I know its the wrong class, but can ya share anything on Kris Wilkes? I cant help but think that the HS class of 2017 is infact stronger than 2016, A player like Wendell Carter would maul most of these bigs.

With the 1st Pick in the 2017 NBA draft, The Utah Jazz (via GSW) Select...
Thon Maker - University of Utah

Is this guy a lab experiment or something? Holy Jesus WTF

He's pretty good but its really been sensationalized way out of proportion. Once described as having more upside than Apple stock in the 80's.
Players like Thon are why I like looking into this **** though, interesting stuff.
He is awesomely agile though for that size, that hasn't been overstated.

I have 3 questions;
Does this mean they go 'all in' for Miles Bridges?
How do you think they feel about Rawle Alkins playing 3?
Any idea on other SF's they might be scoping out from 2016? Mario Kegler? Kostas Antetokounmpo? maybe even a re-classed Kris Wilkes??

Maker is good, but yeah, I was underwhelmed the only time I saw him.
Alkins is going prep. Damn.I have 3 questions;

I assume we are all in on Bridges.
Some real smoke about going after Kegler.

Cool. I always thought Kegler looked like a possible pro, the footage and articles from the top 100 camp look impressive (vs great competition!). Maybe he can jump the rankings like Dwayne Bacon did, now that he's headed to Oak Hill and playing his position. I definitely buy that Mario's got some finesse to his game, even though he's an obvious power wing prospect.

Sucks Alkins is gon do that. He looked great vs older competition at the Eurocup, I don't really get that move, but there's still time. After seeing the LaGerald Vick saga, I'm going to keep some hope alive.
Miles Bridges would be great, he's built for the type of system in place. Highlights galore, plus top notch rebounding and defense from the wing. How could ya complain about that?
