The minute Vanderbilt shows he can shoot, he'll come into play in the mid-first round.
Following Potential 2018 Draftees
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
Kevin Knox's last 5 games: 19 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 42% 3p%
Teams going to have to hold off about 3 years before drafting him then.
Maybe so.
I mean, he's good, but there is no way he is going to be able to show he can shoot this year. There is 2 game left in conference play, plus w/e is left in tournament play (probably not much for Kentucky). He isnt going to suddenly start shooting 3s.
I certainly think Vanderbilt is really talented and worth being a fairly high pick, but it's a lot of projection to say he will ever be able to shoot. I wouldn't be too upset with him as the Jazz's pick. He would definitely be an upside play if you can ever develop that part of his game.

I still like Justin Jackson's fit better but wouldn't cry over Vanderbilt

Sekou Doumbouya | 6-foot-9 | SF/PF
France (via Guinea) | Age: 17.1
After leaving much to be desired when we scouted him with his club in France earlier this year, Doumbouya stood out as the top prospect to take the floor in L.A. Auditioning for a host of NBA execs for the first time, Doumbouya played with much more energy than we've seen in the past, using his tremendous physical tools to defend multiple positions while flashing his versatile skill set on the offensive end. With a 6-11 wingspan, 210-pound frame and an 8-11 standing reach, Doumbouya has more than adequate size to play the power forward spot in the modern NBA, yet he has the foot speed to defend on the perimeter and the budding skill set to play with the ball for stretches on offense. From a sheer size and length standpoint, he compares to Paul George (at age 20.2) and Thaddeus Young (at age 19.0), though he has a body type that could trend closer to Carmelo Anthony or Jabari Parker as he gets older.
Although he still has a tendency to miss boxouts or defensive assignments, Doumbouya was vocal in drills and did a great job of temporarily answering the questions about his effort and intensity. He has the potential to be a defensive stopper who can check up to four positions and watching him buy into that notion was beneficial for his draft stock moving forward. Offensively, Doumbouya is a blank slate, which is part of what makes him so intriguing. He shoots a really easy ball with great rotation and soft touch, he handles the ball comfortably in the open floor and he's an above-average athlete around the rim, even showing some ability to extend with his off hand for finishing attempts around length. Doumbouya could trend anywhere from a stretch-4 type to a playmaking wing, as his ball-handling and passing in space looked greatly improved with more freedom than he has with Poitiers. While France is full of talent, prospect development can often become stagnant, and it was certainly beneficial to see Doumbouya in a different setting among his age group. He looked every bit of a potential top-five pick. -- Mike Schmitz
