Following Potential 2018 Draftees

IDK why people talk about Bruno Caboclo the way they do. That kid is a legit NBA talent, The Raptors are a competitive team and never played him unless it was garbage time...

I watch the Kings... He grabs spec-****ing-tacular offensive rebounds. He's got some shooting touch, he's seriously got excellent potential as a shot blocker.

The Kings liked Malachi Richardson.. and thats who they swapped him for. I fully expect the Kings to sign him or match whatever offer and he'll have a full summer to prep for a big season next year...

Isaac Bonga is not Bruno Caboclo, both raw indeed but their not really similar, what Bonga does at 6'10" is something u can't teach with the ball, his entire draft stock revolves around his ability to handle the ball.

Caboclo on the other hand, is just as I called it around that draft, on his way to transitioning to PF.... U just look at his frame, I can't see him on the wing when he hits his mid-late 20's, His frame is literally bigger than most NBA C's.
 
Is Brandon McCoy from UNLV a better player than Tony Bradley? He's slightly taller and has more offensive and defensive prowess if you will. But Bradley has been playing in a much tougher competition at UNC though during his freshman year.

No. McCoy's appeal/stock all hinges on his offense, which is quite good, think somewhere between Andray Blatche and Brook Lopez, he's on that spectrum... Tony Bradley has a much more well-rounded game, he's got a real chance at being a two-way player, better on the glass and better blocking shots - especially if he's grown an inch which appears to be the case.

McCoy could gain some momentum late in the process. He doesn't have long arms, which hurts him on the boards and blocking shots. He could really perform well in the offensive drills though, there is minor traces of Trey Lyles to his game IMO. true-7footer too.
 
I have seen Brandon McCoy thoroughly work DeAndre Ayton and give him fits defensively, theres gotta be some youtube vids of it.. Just wanna throw that out there. They were teammates at one point in AAU too and would play together.

McCoy has good moves he's got good touch He's a really good kid too, he'll pass all the character and psych evals with flying colors, positive kid thats always got a smile. I know someone who's got a son thats one of the top ranked kids in California for his age group and he's said McCoy went far beyond the call of duty in talking with him and giving the youngin some pointers.

There's a funny rumor that Silvio De Sousa was paid to go to Maryland(presumably by Under Armor) and then Adidas came in and paid for him to go to Kansas..
 
Kansas, North Carolina State newly mentioned in NCAA case

NEW YORK – Kansas and North Carolina State are the latest schools to be swept up in a bribery scandal involving college basketball.

A rewritten federal indictment released Tuesday in New York alleges that an Adidas officials paid parents of athletes willing to commit to the schools.

Prosecutors say an Adidas representative agreed to pay $90,000 to the family of a Kansas recruit and $40,000 to a recruit at North Carolina State.

Prosecutors say money helped secure the players’ commitments to play college basketball at the schools and ensured the North Carolina State recruit signed an Adidas sponsorship deal when he entered the NBA. He entered the draft last June.

In the Kansas case, the student-athlete made a surprise announcement last August to attend the school.

Students in question MUST be Dennis Smith Jr at NC State, and Silvio de Sousa at Kansas.
