Following potential 2017 draftees...

Just finished. Its if they plug him in and he goes out and gets 20 and 10. I think WF guards do as good a job of getting him the ball as any guards I've seen in college bball in years at dumping it into the post, but it's not nearly good enough. He simply can't be stopped. They were even doubling him off the ball. They threwb every big, long defender they had at him.

He's constantly running the floor, battling in the post to give the guards a target, his hands are as good as you'll ever see from a big, he hits the offensive glass, and when he gets it on the block he has everything in his arsenal.

Indomitable indeed.

How is the D tho?

How is the D tho?

i'd say mediocre. tonight he was excellent on defense. it helped that he was never in foul trouble so was able to be more aggressive contesting shots, etc. he has to be careful there because they need him in the game. I've seen him in nearly every game of the 12 straight 20+ games and when teams attack him, i've seen him struggle. better help defender than defending his own guy. great defensive rebounder. he commits some dumb fouls at times, but i think overall he's a pretty smart defensive player. in terms of improving defensively, he probably needs to get a little stronger more than anything.

Does WF play man or zone?

damnn theres some interesting measurements in for possible top picks in future drafts from the BWB camp.

Balsa Koprivica measured 7'1" without shoes, he could be the #1 pick in 2020. The next Arvydas Sabonis. Some team might list him at 7'3".. I guess he could still be growing too. 7'3½" wingspan.

Simi ****tu 6'10½ without shoes!!! so I'd imagine he could keep growing too because he's certainly been doing that since I've been following his story.. He can now play C in college.. 7'1" wingspan.. He's an inch and a half taller than Favors? I can't wrap my mind around that lol.. Supreme athlete..

Charles Bassey 6'10" without shoes and a 7'3" wingspan.. He could also go #1.. It's safe to say hes a better prospect than Favors too.

Koprivica and Bassey above are 2 of the reasons 2020 will have a very good shot at being a better draft than 2017.

2017 is definitely the draft for PG's.

2019 hasthese really high end bigs at the top and also some unreal wings and just crazy talent/depth/starpower on the map already, the bars set really high.

All sorts of players from 6'3" to 6'9" including a ****load of wings, many of whom look elite already.

Scottie Lewis is probably a better SG prospect than Josh Jackson..........

I love the DX player videos but you watch their strengths and it is like wow that is a future all star then you watch their weeknesses and you don't want anything to do with that player

Yep. That's why you have to watchb the games. They show both extremes and its kind of dumb. They could make John Collins look like a POS and he has like the highest PER ever for a P5 player.

I combine that with the games I can watch

Of course. I didn't mean to imply you don't watch games. Just that those videos can be fun, but i kinda hate them.

Ftr, the whole you most not watch games is the most tired argument on sports message boards.

Michael Hurt looks a lot like TJ Leaf but I think will be better and more of a pure 3. Right now his build is sorta like Hayward in college and he's a HS Sophomore.. great body control as u can see.. probably still growing too.. Considered a top-10 player in a loaded class..

Looks way better than Kyle "the next Larry Bird" Singler too, obviously.. Possibly the next torch bearer of the prestigious "Best domestic Caucasoid player" title..


The HS class of 2019 (so the 2020 draft) is so strong that if you gave an expansion team like 8 picks with a few in the 1st rd lets say 3 top-20 picks(Koprivica, Scottie Lewis, LaMelo Ball), that core would be around for a long time and probably make several playoff runs in a few years..

So as that applies to the Jazz - If the win now movement has veered off course it's wise for them to downshift and try to trade into this draft.. Scottie Lewis would be one of the top targets for the Jazz IMO.. He's a ball-of-lightning athlete at SG, probably a better prospect than Josh Jackson..

6'9"ish HS Jr. Pete Nance (son of Larry Nance) is starting to make some noise.. Florida offered on him a few weeks back and his recruitment is gonna ramp up to more high-majors..
