Following Potential 2018 Draftees

I have only seen a little of Trae Young. He looks like a more score-first version of Tyus Jones from Duke. Probably he's a backup for most teams.

IDK how you can say a Freshman who dropped 43 in his 4th game (against a P5 team) is probably a backup.
 
i honestly have no clue how good Bagley is, but he is tall, very, very, athletic and he plays as hard as any big i've seen. oh, and he's ridiculously aggressive. that's why he gets numbers. dude just never stops. runs the court constantly, is all over the offensive and defensive glass and is always looking to attack. i don't know how skilled he his, but dang, for a hyped player, he plays like he's playing for his life. in that sense he sounds like Julius Randle, but he has 3-4 inches on Julius. just don't know what to think of Bagley right now - glad we have all season to figure him out.

also, just finished watching the oklahoma game - Trae Young is pretty special. I don't think he even tries to defend at this point, but he's a wizard offensively. not sure if he's a better scorer or passer. he's great at both.

The thing he really has on Randle is fluidity (Randle has always kind of been more herky/jerky bulldozer) and a super quick 2nd jump. But yeah, his production is undeniable and he is starting to hit his FT's. Looks like he can guard pretty well on the perimeter too.

But yeah, too early to place anyone, but especially with Bagley I'm still on the fence of who I like him over/under.
 
I just became aware that Michael Porter's younger brother also plays for Missouri and he has been playing well.
