What's new

Following potential 2017 draftees...

Donovan Mitchell is an intriguing long-term replacement for Hill.

yeah he could very well play/workout/combine himself out of range tho.

Andrew Jones is a very interesting replacement IMO.

I've got him in the 1st of my mock. I think Chad Ford does too he says some NBA Scouts swear by him or something like that.. He can get to the rack and he's 6'4" athlete sorta like Burks.. I've been hyping him here since he was ranked..

I think Kyle Guy would be good to draft and like redshirt a year in the D-League/bench, they can assimilate him.

Jalen Brunson is an interesting player too I think he can handle 15 productive MPG off the bench next year. He's very advanced.
 
Jawun Evans from Oklahoma St. is someone to keep an eye out for as well. Averaging 18 points and 6 assists per game.

What about Exum?

Exum would start ofc, but you have to have someone take Exum's place if he is starting. Though I would expect the Jazz to sign Darren Collison or Dwill to be a backup in the case of losing Hill, so maybe they wouldn't be as desperate to trade up to draft Mitchell. In any case, he is reminiscent of Hill and would make for a good backup to Exum, or successor if Exum doesnt work out.

I'd rather take Kyle "Top-Bun" Guy and red-shirt him a year in the d-league with maybe SOME bench duty.

I hope Wyoming wins the MWC tournament and gets an automatic bid.

Justin James and Hayden Dalton are legit both out of state recruits too, they pulled James all the way from Florida.. Dalton from CO. Both are pro prospects and likely to return, they should be a 20+ win team next year.

They’re kicking in the door, but they’re shocked at what I’m telling them,” Ball said. “I said, ‘I’m not looking for no endorsement deal. I’m looking for a marketing and distribution deal.’ Branding. The only person doing that is [Michael] Jordan with Nike. That’s what we’re for. If Lonzo doesn’t sign with Adidas, Nike or Under Armour, guess what -- I’ll sign the Big Baller Brand. We already got our own brand. Triple Bs. Lonzo is going to be the first one drafted with his own brand. That don’t happen.”

LaVarr Ball is gonna be the Puff Daddy of 'the New NBA'. Lonzo being Biggie, LaMelo's probably Ma$e and Gelo's like Machine Gun Kelly

This story just keeps getting better. I'll buy a pair of Big Baller Brand shoes.


There was also this from a good source few days back..

@EvanDaniels
Comments like this are why multiple NBA executives have told me they are concerned with Lonzo Ball's father. https://twitter.com/ironmikeluke/status/835611155301183492

Tatum with 15 and 9 and Issac with 8 and 8. A little underwhelming.

My boy Kennard with 17 and 6.

Cool Hand Luke's one of the most popular players in this thread. Was he your boy last year when he shot 32% from 3?!?

I was talking about him the way I talk about Kyle Guy this year (sort of; Guy's a PG/SG not a SG or CG like Kennard).. Or even UNC's Justin Jackson, what I've been saying about his 3pt% being anomalous for his FR and SO seasons..

Ya know I said long ago on this forum I think he'll be better than Redick and Grayson and I'm liking his chances more than ever.

I'm rather convinced that being biased towards lefties is a sound practice that runs true thru the years..

It seems like he got a lot of love last year. I've been pimping him all this year and said he was a first-rounder back when DX had him in the mid 30's.

Lol you try and boost your own ego and toot your own horn more than anybody on this site. That's the real reason why you stick around here. You want to try and feel better about yourself. Who gives a **** what you said or if you mentioned him first? Doesn't mean anyone else can't like him and doesn't mean anyone else can't like him more than you. You say tons of things about every prospect. I'm waiting for you to go back and start editing the 2015 draft thread here pretty soon.
