Uhh, U19 are technically high school age, but it's the best HS students of each country. And yes, that is all we had on him pre-draft since he was a HS student entering the draft.
Following potential 2017 draftees...

For comparison, here are some of Hayward's stats from his U19 tournament

lol, way to cherry pick stats. So he averaged 18 and 5 on 44% FGs

Hayward then went to college and proved he could play at that level.
Lol Im going to enjoy when Im right on Exum just like I was right on Hayward when 80% of the forum doubted him.
I really hope so man. This will be the happiest crow-eating I will have in quite some time.
But seriously, what type of player do you see him and do you think his handle will ever be league average for a PG? Or his mid-range game?

There's no doubt what Frank just did was vastly more impressive than any predraft Dante's performance, anyone who says otherwie is reaching heavily(and probably didn't see what Frank just did in the last 2 games) and If you recall I posted quite a bit of Exum footage (full games).
There's also no doubt that Dante has more boost naturally in his step though.
to call the U18 players HS kids isn't exactly a true barometer of the talent level either, some of those squads are loaded with pro talent like an elite college team(Which certainly cn be said about some US HS's like La Lumiere)..there's som obscenely talented HS teams but I don't think any are quite like France's U18 team that just won the chip, which has several professionals and an absolutely gigantic backcourt. Many of those teams would absolutely run a HS team off the court.
I know there's injuries but doesn't Quinn putting Dante in as the starting PG show that they've got a good deal of faith in his skills? Whats the Jazz record with Exum as a starter?

good passer and 3pt shooter too. He's far from a 1 trick pony.

Any Utes fans know whats up with Kyle Kuzma? He played 1 minute in a loss to San Francisco last night.
There is a massive difference indeed between the very very inconsitant level of play in the american AAU system and in the european youth levels. In most european countries the U16 or U18 national team plays quite a lot of games so really those young players play many games against the cream of the cream of other european youngsters, plus add to that that many of those young guys are being trained inside training programs of pro clubs or the national training programm of the national federation. It has nothing to do with the utter mess that the AAU circuit is. A french 16 year old plays 15 games per year with his national team (the best young guys in the country) + is trained inside the programm of his local pro club. Imagine if in the US instead of going through the circus that is the AAU circuit and then the unpaid slavery to allow big unis to make money that is the NCAA, young players got to go through U16 or U18 programs of the San Antonio Spurs, Knicks, Bulls or others ? We would see such a massive difference.

we'd see a difference for sure but It's not like it'd affect team USA's win's and losses at that level. Pretty sure they've never lost a game at the U16 and U17 age groups and the U18 team is 54-1 with it's sole loss coming in 2002 at the hands of Venezuela. The squad responsible for the L had Deron, Carmelo, Bosh, Kris Humphries and Andre Iguodala.

If what he says in the beginning is true, then he's 7'0 barefoot with a 7'2 wingspan big. He'd be a full year younger than Kristaps if he declares for the '17 draft. Wanna bet some GM might be willing to take a risk if his measurements are off the charts?
