LOL Here's a video of Collin Sexton (whoI've got as the top PG in the class) talking **** to Penny Hardaway, about his son being trash. I swear he's got a lil Allen Iverson to his game.

[tweet]811945196820824064[/tweet]

This kid is literally all the **** that the Jazz must've hoped Trey Burke would be, he's a GREAT shooter, has an absolutely filthy step-back J and he's also hand's down the quickest player in the class.
 
Possible #1 pick in 2018 Michael Porter Jr. faces off with the likely #1 2019pick Marvin Bagley in 2 hours for the Les Schwab Invitational final.

Not a bad night to be home sick. Hoping im recovered by tomorrow night..

It's becoming increasingly obvious that at this point in time, Michael Porter Jr is hands-down the most reliably dynamic/productive/most polished player in this class.

If he ends up being the best prospect from this class is another conversation.
He's certainly EXTREMELY safe with pretty much 0% bust potential..

Even though I haven't had him #1 in my mocks or anything I've long said that Porter is easily gonna be the favorite for ROY.

There's no doubt he's a superior prospect than Jayson Tatum who's pretty much a lock to go in the top-10 in the 2017 draft.. He's sorta got some Hayward to his game, he can handle the Hayward role and sooner than you'd expect... As I said on the first page of this thread Grant Hill is a legit comp, his offensive game is remarkably complete -- to the point where he might be able to step in as a 3rd option for a team as a rookie...

If he was eligible he'd easily go in the top-5 of the 2017 draft

Eyy [MENTION=430]Dr. Jones[/MENTION] have you seen people claiming Vanderbilt is pay-to-play because of this tweet?. LOL.. what an absurd leap of faith..

[tweet]812349210314100736[/tweet]
These people are obviously grasping at straws.. The comment certainly can be interpreted a few different ways - I think it's quite obviously that Febres believes it's a foregone conclusion Vanderbilt goes high in this draft now that he's at UK..

lol
People are petty.
I'm assuming it was a joke or implying the Kentucky effect and pro career ahead.

Can't wait to see him in action! He still looks skinny obviously, but just looking at him It really seems like he's made some serious progress building a foundation for more strength.

Was just a bunch of Duke fans that are quite sour over the start of their season..
 
IDK what kind of GPA Mo Bamba holds(wouldn't care if I knew anyways) he's gotta have an IQ in the 120+ range tho.. You've gotta hear him speak, he's truly got the gift of the gab - I've been listening to him interview(and reading his blogs for USA Today) for a while now it's uncanny... He's gotta be the most well-spoken lottery talent bigman prospect since Tim Duncan.. The local media is going to love having him around.

Porzingis rates very highly on that spectrum but Bamba's almost like on some Obama ****.

This will be a storyline in this draft at somepoint. Especially with Bamba and Carter getting offers from Harvard.
 
DX updated the 2018 mock too. It's actually pretty good. They finally started giving P.J. Dozier his due respect.

Rawle Alkins at 40 is my biggest complaint. They prefer Donovann Mitchell, who's 29th in the 2017 mock. I certainly don't.

Not crazy bout the order of the top-8
 
Anyone who really got hyped for Trey Burke should watch this video. This is what a lottery pick with that scoring skillset is supposed to look like.

I have a difficult time expressing how much better Sexton is than Trey (or a player with flaws like Trey) I'ma settle on saying he's about 50x better...


His step-back is insane. One of the best I've seen bar none. Might even be better than Jamal Murray just because of the speed at which he pulls it off..



He talks a ton of **** and backs it up too. Very entertaining player. I believe there's some Allen Iverson to his game.
