Following 2016 potential draftees

[Game6Conley]

Yep. And it's sickening.

Well there's a part of it that makes sense for the Student/Player, IMG Academy for instance gives out a lot of scholarships to International players, which gives them an opportunity to do things they wouldnt have had.. I can't really hate on that. It's not that simple though. I know IMG probably has top flight coaches/facilities, I know they have a 7-footer there for the big's to work out against.

It makes basketball sense for Trevon Duval to go from St. Benedict's in NJ to Advanced Prep in Texas, the fact that St. Benedict's is getting poached these days, is really a great example of how extreme things have become.. Trey gets to play with Billy Preston and Terrance Furgeson this year, which is absurd, they could beat college teams, and are aiming to go undefeated..

IMG Academy has like an advertising budget though.... Whats that about?? I've seen commercials/ad's during Yankee's games.. Never really understood that whole part of the equation..

I always thought the story of Brady Aiken, who was the #1 pick in the 2014 MLB draft, and the #17 pick in the 2015 draft - from IMG Academy, was kind of screwy, there's a key injury involved, but still it's basically the story of an Agent and player trying to get as big a contract as possible, which I guess I can't totally hate on.

UNC’s Marcus Paige fractured the third metacarpal on his right (non-shooting) hand in practice on Tuesday, will miss 3-4 weeks, per school.

KY saboteurs up to their old tricks.

odd things seem to be happening.. Harry Giles related things.. Apparently He tweeted about changing his announcement date, then deleted it.. That same event SKJ is supposed to sign with UK at.. So I doubt its UK related.. Even though Coach Cal went to see Harry's season opener yesterday..

Dunking extraordinaire Kwe Parker, Giles' old teammate just de-committed from Rutgers.. I'd imagine he's going to Wake with his old PG Brandon Childress


I know Coach Cal was at Harry's season opener last night..

Injury just sucks for them, and Paige - I like him too, he'll still be a 2nd round pick.

UNC's already behind the 8 ball imo, these coaches voted them #1, and they aren't that good.. Not good enough to thrive with that type of target on their back.. I doubt they end up a higher seed than Duke TBH.

Villanova apparently beat Maryland by near 15 in their 'secret scrimmage'

^^^^^ No brainer pick if he really is going to end up late lotto or even deeper in the draft like he is currently projected.

agreed. I'd confident he's better than Tibor Pleiss right now. He's just got a different kind of bounce in his step.. I bet when he works out for NBA teams he kills it.

Anyone is better than Pleiss. Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

I think hes probably going top-10... No way Damian Jones, or Poeltl's a better prospect he's got a 7'6½ wingspan... all he's gotta do is steadily improve and he's gonna be good, I like his chances. I think he'd be good fit for the Lakers next to Randle.


Jeanne could still be a great option if the pick ends up near 20. Qi looks like a safe bet.

 

[Game6Conley]

Also Qi > Diamond Stone, whos up to 10 in the new DX mock.

Antonio Blakeney going ballistic this year(especially from 3), is a pretty good scenario for the Jazz, heres a new Mixtape uploaded hours ago. Instant offense, spark-plug type, he's dynamic and a potential weapon, certainly would add to the firepower..

Newman still makes a ton of sense as well. EEspecially if Burks is going to play like last night.. Same can be said for Sviatoslav(if he shoots it well from 3)...
