Following potential 2017 draftees...

Not sure how much you guys have been talking about Indiana's Thomas Bryant in this thread, but he looks to me like he'll be a better player than Derrick Favors. Real shooting touch (44% 3-pt%), real feel and footwork around the rim, plus a longer standing reach. He looks like he would be a mid first-round value-pick version of Karl Towns. I think he'd be a lottery pick in any other draft.

Glad I'm not the first to bring up a Karl Towns comparison in this thread but now that the ice has been broken - I'm pretty sure Justin Patton is that dude..... he really throws some INSANE passes for a bigman just like Karl, his build looks to me almost identical to Karl's.. He's a damn good 3pt shooter for that size too... There's certainly many parallels the passing is really what gets me hung up..


As for Thomas Bryant he's due for a bump into the 1st rd in my next mock. He's going to be a productive player with a long career, is he going to be a star? I think not, I prefer Favors because of his ability to defend 2 positions. His 3pt shooting is a legit storyline boosting his stock tho. I'd imagine it would make him a good target for the Jazz to groom as Rudy's backup.

I've heard he's a bit of a diva and some teams might not like that...
 
I like Bryant and I agree he is a bench back up type of player. He has what I call old man legs.

I think as a change up type of reserve. Great low post game.

I would take Patton over Bryant 100 out of a 100 times.

"I didn't think it was a possibility for me to go to a division 1 school" ... This hasgotta be the best story in college basketball this year..
 
Here's one of the passes I'm talking about.. watching this live my initial reaction was "Karl Towns would throw that pass"

you see a nice lil pocket pass in this vid. If you watch him closely(as I've been doing) he does this stuff with more regularity than you'd think.. It's part of the reason why I made the Greg Monroe comparison weeks back.
 
Indiana won by 19 but this was a puzzling game for Thomas Bryant, who was held to 0 drebs... Rutgers grabbed 9 more boards in total..


Anunoby finished with 7 steals and a block...

If teams think he'll be better than Favors or Towns-like they should be drafting him top 5 in any draft... not out of the lottery. People throw stuff like that so casually. Like Favors is some kind of scrub.
