I know they play different positions but Knox >>> Diallo

Ham's ceiling maybe not much higher than youtube superstar

Still one of my favorite under the radar players. So insanely athletic in the open court, just look at his block at 3:45. He makes those kind of defensive plays in transition every game, whether its a chase down block or getting a steal against 2-on-1 fastbreaks. I watched this game live, Davis made so many game winning plays down the stretch and in OT on defense. He won the game at the end by blocking an open layup for Missouri.

He is kind of having a disappointing year, but I think it's mainly because Ole Miss's team has two big men and 6 combo guards for their rotation. He has to play PF a lot even though he is a 6'3 SG. Just doesnt get the ball enough and when he does, he has kind of forced it too much.

He's just a monster in transition, look at this dunk

Even in this game, which was a bad game for him, he made a lot of really great plays, just didnt finish them (a lot of easy misses).

I'm not a big fan of unskilled low Bball IQ guys. The chance that they turn the lights on and develop in 4 years is low... rather get those guys on their second contract.

Man if Bruce Brown to shoot the back court of Brown and Mitchell would be all NBA defensively.But alas one of the players I like have a huge fatal flaw

With his injury he could drop to our second round pick range. I'd love that pick in the second round.

MAYBE

Daryl Macon is not projected to be drafted anywhere I can find, yet he's 43% from 3pt land on 6 attempts a game, near 90% FT shooter

I'm certain he'll at least fine a G league spot, if you watched the Kentucky game last night he was that dude for Arkansas shooting lights out

This kid has gotta be the most likely trade-up target, IMO;



He's a perfect fit at the 4, he'd be one of the best rookies in the league and could step in and start from day 1, like Mitchell.. Which justifies the trade-up cost cuz he gonna produce far beyond the rookie contract.

It's my opinion that he's the best bigman from Georgia since Dwight Howard, even better than Derrick Favors..

Diallo’s struggles is exactly why Anfernee Simons should declare. Better to strike while the hype is high instead of risking getting picked apart by bad film.

Diallo is a classic workout-warrior type with 'off the charts' measurables.

Anfernee Simons is a different kind of beast... His skillset has much more depth.. Upon further inspection u will like this kid MORE imho, thats what I think is gonna happen....

to put it succinctly, his game relies on extreme levels of hand-eye-coordination and pro level footwork, it just so happens that he's about 6'4" with long arms and a quick shot release off the catch and bounce.....

I saw George Hill play at IUPUI... U can't tell me there isn't some similarities with Simons and Hill, they score it in similar ways, similar prototype frames... He's like Half Jeff Teague and half George Hill.


this is the type of kid, u run him out there for like 2 seasons, he kinda looks out of place being so young and skinny, but around year 3 it really clicks and he starts to make stuff that should be difficult, look very easy, he just needs to get his legs underneath him and he will be able to run with the thoroughbreds.


Better prospect than Jordan Clarkson and Spencer Dinwiddie, 2 players I swore by here and have panned out spectacularly.

I really dont think Bruce Brown is that bad of a shooter. I would hardly consider it a fatal flaw. He just had a rough year. That being said, I'm not really a fan.

The NCAA has declared Allonzo Trier ineligible, Arizona just announced. A reappearance of a banned substance was found in a January drug test. Arizona is appealing the decision.
