What's new

Following 2016 potential draftees

Yah, I'm very skeptical about that as well, Duncan said he's watched him matched up against PGs defensively and he's done good job guarding them... I honestly haven't really seen him play that role, so I can't comment... I need to see it to believe it. They think his jump shot is completely broken so he'd have trouble playing on the wing. All I've seen from him is playing playmaking forward(both from the wing and on the block) and matched up against front court players on D. He super interesting prospect with very unique skill-set for his size. I think if he had any semblance of a jumpshot he'd be clearcut no. 1 prospect in this draft, but his struggles there make the race more interesting...
My opinion is Skal will separate himself as much as AD did.

2 games into Marquette's tour in Italy this his how Ellenson looks. By far the best shape I've seen him in.

8.12.15 - MU vs Haukar - 24 points, 10 rebounds
8.15.15 - MU vs LSU-Athletas - 29 points, 7 rebounds
 
Yes. Full offensive arsenal.

I'm guessing you'd trade Favors and the pick for him?

Do you have a player comparison?

Hows LaMarcus Aldrige with slightly more agility/explosion? I think you'd have to say Skal has more polished/proven moves going into college too.

Think they plan on giving him the ball 18ft from the basket for jab-steps and drives? Or will he get the Towns, stuck down low treatment?
 
Has no one started a 2018 draft thread? If not watch out for this guy. From Sportando.com

History was made in Kaunas, Lithuania on Sunday as tournament MVP Dzanan Musa lifted Bosnia and Herzegovina to their first-ever FIBA title at the U16 European Championship.

The talismanic shooting guard had 33 points, eight rebounds, seven assists and two blocks, including several key scores in the big moments, to help the Bosnians rise above hosts Lithuania 85-83 in the Final at a sold-out Kaunas Sports Hall.

There was further cause for Musa to celebrate as he was later named the tournament's outstanding player and headlined the All-Star Five.

It capped an incredible campaign for the 16-year-old, who averaged 23.2 points, 9.0 rebounds and 6.3 assists as the Bosnians won seven of their nine games.
 
Fran Fraschilla tweeted out after the Eurocamp that he thought it was filled with 2nd round prospects. I thought that was a ****ty opinion at the time, mainly because of Musa.

Yeah, agreed. Once Newman drops 50 on his UK team, Skal will be separated to the lower part of the first round. ****ing scrub.

Newman will have a hell of a season. He will need to score 50 if MSUjr is to ever break 60.
