Following 2016 potential draftees

yo, Dr. Jones. do you know whats up with Dennis Smith's knee by chance?


Also; Is there any shot UK can get involved with T.J. Leaf or is he bound to the west coast?

I do think Leaf is slightly overrated at this point(He actually just got dropped to around where i'd have him pegged)... Entertaining player to watch though.

The Finnish player, Lauri Markannen, who's 100% AZ in 247's crystal ball really doesn't seem much worse, 247 jumped him from 100 to 16 in their latest rankings. I saw some of Markannen's games a few weeks ago and was very impressed, he's like a more mobile. Looks like a Rich mans Kyle Wiltjer, much more mobile/defensive potential and better at finishing thru contact.

Maybe I'm overthinking it and this is flawed logic; But, If Harry Giles commits to Duke and Chase Jeter stays for his sophomore year(or they land Bolden). Hows Duke a good landing spot for Wenyen Gabriel?? I'm missing something.

He'd play the Marvin Williams at UNC, first forward off the bench role??? Or they'd move Tatum to 2 and play Gabriel at 3?? That seems too unorthodox for Duke..

Good question. Gabriel is saying, publicly, he wants to play on the wing. My opinion is K tells him he will (and follows through) or the kid goes elsewhere.

Still seems like a log jam of minutes... Thornton-Kennard-Tatum-Giles-Jeter... Something's gotta give...

Flexing Tatum to play some 2 could clear minues, but that'd mean Matt Jones could get buried on the bench for his SR year(if Kennard returns).. Seems a lot like a platoon.






I hope these 2016 bigs start showing their hands soon. Other than Jarrett Allen and Texas... he can keep that to himself!!!
 
BTW this PG, Koby McEwen from Toronto, by way of Wasatch Academy in Mt. Plesant Utah, is severely underrated at 3 stars. he's 6'3 and very athletic. He reminds me a bit of Terry Rozier, haven't seen all that much, but he's legit for sure. Showed very well at the recent Addidas Nations camp (Same camp Exum skyrocketed his value at), and dropped a game high 25 points playing against Dennis Smith Jr.

If Harry Giles were to go to Wake Forest, which I still think there's a chance of. McEwen could end up there with him. I'd imagine dunking extraordinaire, Kwe Parker would be there too.

Of course they also had Maverick Rowan 100% to Louisville then about 100% to St Johns so this ball of crystal is not exactly a perfect predictor.
