Following 2016 potential draftees

Tough call, but I'd go Skal.

Taller, more athletic, more upside. Skal has only been playing bb for 3 years and has a great offensive feel for the game. I bet his defensive prowess grows between now and the draft and he will be compared to AD-lite many, many times.

I'm going on the record: Towns will be undeniably better. Don't see Skal ever having Towns' post game or passing (he's a prodigy in this regard), and don't think he'll be quite the same level of rim protector either.

I actually think there's a good chance Towns ends up being Minny's cornerstone piece, while Wiggins takes the sidekick role.

brutal that they're in our conference. That team's on the come-up. Garbage FO and coaching staff though-- the main thing that separates us from them

It was 22, 12, and 9, actually.

Murray is a superstar. Not because of that game, the kid is just very special. He will be a career all star.

Didn't see your earlier post. No, No chance Giles picks UK. It is 110% Duke.
 
Also, Ulis is a straight stud. Will be so heady this year. Skal is learning and still raw (getting used to Div1 and only 3 years of bb experience. But he looked like a guy with a very high ceiling. Silky hook shots.

:mad: more pissed for Wake than UK if true.

2 questions:

What are the chances UK lands Jarrett Allen?? I'm guessing your gonna say over 50%

Lets say Allen goes elsewhere and Bam goes to N.C. State -- Any idea on what the next course of action would be?? I'd kinda hope they'd try to go after Thon again..

Allen seems to want to stay in state. I would put UK's chances at less than 50, especially since they are not recruiting him very hard.
I still say Bam to State. Smith is in ear all day every day.
Bolden in still a shot, but I think he's less than 50 and, again, we are not on him hard.
I think we are only making token passes at Thon. Sandy Bell has issued a serious warning.
I feel like Cal has something up his sleeve because he doesn't seem to be recruiting any of these guys very hard.

Maybe a transfer, a reclass, or maybe he just likes his chances with Lee coming back with a soph Hump and Tai. I doubt the latter is the case, though.

Was kinda hoping it was Allen.. I get that feeling that he's got something up his sleeve though too... I hope its a player from the HS class of 2017 tbh(Mohammad Bamba being the best case scenario)

The whole Thon situation seems like it's being grossly mismanaged if that's the case.. I've heard plenty of others basically laugh at the notion Thon will be in college... He's obviously built for the dribble-drive, wherever he lands, he won't show as well as he would've at UK next to all that talent..

One things for sure, he wont be in that Amerileauge.. :p

Bam to NC state seems imminent..

I almost wanna say Rawle to St. Johns seems like it will materialize too..

Kinda wish they'd try to get involved with Dewan Huell late, he seems like a heavy lean to stay in or near Florida though. He's good enough to wear the uniform. Might be viewed as a bit redundant next to Gabriel and SKJ, I think it could work though, he's one of the few players I'd say might benefit if he stayed for 2 years in college -- Especially at UK I'm pretty sure he'd end up a great example of progression.

This scenario is kind of why I was hoping they'd go after Javin DeLaurier too, thats old news though.. DeLaurier would be a better fit than Huell though, for sure.

Ummm, did NBA do away with the one year in college rule? But seriously KY related comments go in the dumpster thread.
