Following 2016 potential draftees

stitches said:
Yeah, I doubt they will give up on Dante and I don't want them to give up on him, but surely they should be thinking about contingency plans. The 2017 crop of PGs is extremely strong in both the draft and free agency. I don't think we will be left without a good starting PG past 2017. The point is... that's the year we might lose Hayward, so I think we need good PG play before that in order to have better chance at keeping him and showing him just how good this team can be with good PG play. I would love Dunn or Murray next year. I'm still not sure about Briscoe... he's kind of weird to me from the little I've watched. I'm not sure I love him.

Briscoe is sure to have a few games next year that will put people on notice, I'm very confident in this. he can put up points really fast, and plays like he knows it. He's probably best suited early in his NBA career in a 6th man, green-lit shooting type of role... ... .... . .. . . I like his chances at being a starting PG eventually though. He's probably worst-case: Randy Foye.

He's only a combo guard because of his shot selection and he's strong enough to handle bigger guards, he can actually facilitate quite well for a scorer, he's got good court-vision. Briscoe's a gamer, ultra-competitive. Also a winner and totally fearless, he takes big shots and makes them! Let the record show he was those things before he ever got an offer from Kentucky!!!

Capable of making all sorts of ridiculous "heat-check" type of shots, it will be interesting to see how he reels that in.. He's also capable of making those Stephon Marbury type drives to the rim that Trey Burke can't (strong enough to ward off a defender with his off arm or shoulder and finish at the rim). He possesses a fairly unique combination of skills and physical profile. dude's a brick house has that sort-of "I used to be chubby" type of strength. 6'9" wingspan is pretty crazy at his height too. he's built for the NBA..



It will be interesting to see how his overall quickness holds up, he's got great hand eye coordination, and exceptional body control, he stops on a dime and is all sorts of hurkey jerky with the handle.

Are you ogling PGs in the 2017 draft already? I doubt we go for one next year, but if Dante doesn't show good signs after his return 2017 PG must be on the table.

*2016

At this early juncture I simply "ogle" good players, not need.
 
Wanna see something crazy and ACL related??? check this vid on Perry Dozier, who's a player I've compared to Alec Burks in the past.

I posted a big list of PG's last year that had D'Angelo Russell near the top, when some still considered him a SG (pre-season).

Here's this year's list.



I'll try to avoid prospects that seem doomed to the 2nd round at-best, E.G. Fred VanVleet... SG's trying to convert to PG's are included, but not all, for instance I'm not really buying the Caris LaVert PG hype.

3 tiers; 1 - the established ones, 2 - the fringe, 3 - unlikely, but might have a chance.



Tier 1 - Jamal Murray(UK), Malik Newman(MSU - The ****ty one), Kris Dunn(Providence), Demetrius Jackson (ND), Melo Trimble (MD)

Tier 2 - E.C. Matthews(Rhode Island), Tyler Ulis(UK), Tim Quarterman(LSU), Tyrone Wallace (Cal) Jalen Brunson (Villanova), Derryck Thornton (Duke)

Tier 3 - Marcus Paige(UNC), George De Paula, Allonzo Trier(Arizona), P.J. Dozier(USC - The ****ty one), Isaiah Taylor(Texas), Tyler Dorsey(Oregon), Cat Barber(NC St.), Justin Simon(Arizona) and Devonte Graham(Kansas)

And let me throw one player in there with from outside the top-100 HS rankings as a major longshot, Corey Sanders(Rutgers). An absolute freak athlete who will need to improve his discipline a ton, as he plays like an And-1 player. He will find his way into the Sportscenters top-10 a few times in his college career for sure.

@Sam_Vecenie
Just had an NCAA head coach tell me he’d take Vasilis Charalampopolous over every player in CBB this season, which I found fascinating.



This tweet is totally heinous and i posted it for the laughs. Seriously though, Charalampopolous is sure to figure into one of these next 2 drafts and yet he's nowhere to be found in these early mocks, an early oversight sure to be amended.
