What's new

Following potential 2017 draftees...

Bolden
Giles ? (He could be a trade up target)

Sent from my Z981 using JazzFanz mobile app

I'm still wearly of Giles falling all the way to the 20's.. Stranger things have happened.

A few more names to add to your list;

Ike Anigbogu
Felipe Dos Anjos
Anzejs Pasecniks
Tony Bradley
Chimizie Metu
Jonathan Motley
Cameron Oliver
Omer Yurtseven

I presume the Jazz would one of the more likely teams to gamble on Borisa Simanic as a stash candidate too.

6 more that are closer to the fringe than the top-25 IMO could be;
Drew Eubanks,
Donta Hall
Jessie Govan,
Bennie Boatwright
Kuzma
Isaac Haas
 
I guess there's some debate as to who TCU's best prospect is 6'11" Jr. Slovakian-born Vladamir Brodziansky who shoots 3's and blocks shots and 6'2" Fr. PG Jaylen Fisher, I'm taking Fisher though -- he's one of the PG's I'd take over Briscoe. He's very much like a younger version of TJ McConnell, kids tough as nails, very stout defensively 36% from 3 on 4.2 attempts per. Rich mans Aaron Craft. Sort of a Brevin Knight style PG.

Is Jaylen Fisher the best albino basketball player on the planet? does anyone know of any others?
 
Any opinions here on John Egbunu? Dude is a monster it's appropriate that he was born on Halloween. He's built like Kwame Brown. Will turn 23 at the start of next season.

He's gonna get looks in the league for sure. Long wingspan and he's got some athleticism. I could see some team drafting him in the 50's for sure, he's worth a flier.

Scored 27 in a losing effort vs UK last season, limited offensive player, mostly dunks, but he's got immense strength to hold ground for o-boards..

55% FT shooter, he's no Vernon Macklin....
 
Speaking of monsters, Ojo of FSU is scary big and strong. Very good athlete as well, but probably lacks the skill to ever play in the league. But one of the most physically imposing humans I've ever seen.

If I was running a team like the Nets I'd take a flier on him.. Ojo has a lumbering way about him but defensively he's able to cover ground/stay infront of his man good enough where I think he's got a chance. He's completely unmovable on the glass, I'd imagine he'd be the strongest player in the league if he makes it.. but yeah easily one of the most imposing players I've ever seen, he looks like if Shaq took steroids in his mid-20's..

A real key is the improvement he's shown 80% ft's this year!!! He's also already 24 so he's definitely in the UDFA pool unless something drastic happens.

Chances are he won't develop into more than a 3rd C on the depth chart. There's several giants I'd take infront of him.

Viny Okuou's built like a young Shaq and is a good bit younger. Michael Fusek's 7'5" and can shoot 3's and dribble a bit, budding skill level.
 
He's athletic like James Harden, with similarly supreme hand-eye coordination. what you just posted is sort of like what people thought of Fultz when he was ranked in the 20's in HS not #1, those concerns are unfounded though. He's sorta like Jrue but a super rich mans version, Jrue was so much more raw offensively at this stage.

His 'saving grace' as a prospect if you will is the magic that goes on with the ball in his hands, I posted back when he was ranked lower in HS "This dude has the ball on a string". He doesn't have a blindingly quick 1st step but he's got a good one. The real magic is not his acceleration but its his ability to decelerate.. He's quite simply one of the best 6'4" guard you'll ever see at 'stopping on a dime', his ability to change speeds and directions is like water, if there's the slightest crack or seam in the defense he's gonna matriculate thru, and make it look almost effortless.. This is why there's Dwayne Wade comparisons(They're built similarly too)..

to me it's in the realm of amazing tho.. Fultz isn't just like very good, he's gonna be a gamechanger for some bad team... Like I said months back this years lottery is infact the "Markelle Fultz sweepstakes"
Great answer. Thanks man really appreciate it.
 
imo, Harden, in terms of the type of player he is, is the best comparison for Fultz. Fultz is the kind of player who could be top 5 in the league in scoring and assists. not saying that will happen, but he has the skillset to make it happen.

Harden, D'Angelo Russell, D Wade, Deron Jrue.. some fusion of those 5..

I do think Fultz preference is to get drafted to the C's #1. He's friends with Isaiah Thomas.
 
I know this has probably been discussed 100 times over in this thread, but to save some time could somebody just tell me if Ball's shooting will translate to the NBA?


I saw some recent highlights and seems to me he's shooting it diagonally (left to right), rather than straight up?
