They play differently, Zimmerman is a considerably better shooter and passer, he plays a finesse game but throws down nasty dunks like a slightly bigger Cody Zeller, and I think NBA teams will like that. Poeltl's much more of a factor on the boards and close to the basket, he's like a better version of Robin Lopez.

Hayes and Sabonis will definitely be in the first round. Hayes is going to have a monster year with everyone that Wisconsin lost last year

There's a handful of questionable international declarations in that mock, will probably be a few more spots for older players. That type of scenario would be great for stash options though.
 
Bronson Koening is going to bust out next year too for Wisconsin. I always really liked his game, super interested to see if he bust out as a NBA prospect this year.
 
I don't think that's a bad call. Bronson will need a minor miracle to break thru the bottom half of the 2nd round though. Seems like the type of player who will get looks even if he goes undrafted.


I would't call him or expect him to be a sleeper. Jalen Adams from UConn is a better bet.

Furkan Korkmaz 6'7" SG - Turkey as of right now I think he is the best fit for the Jazz. Jazz still need shooting and Hook and Korkmaz on the second team would be amazing. Or even move Hodd to the first team and Have Burks and Kormaz tearing teams apart.

Granted this could change depending on how the year goes.

Poeltl got his eyes examined during the Nike camp, where he learned his left eye was weaker than his right. He used to wear contacts several years back, and decided to get them again this summer.

The difference is nearly imperceptible to him day-to-day. But he believes it's helped his depth perception. The basket seems easier to gauge, and his shots seem to be going in more.

Maybe there's a little more hope at the free-throw line for the guy who hit 44 percent of his foul shots last year.

I can't wait to hear the commentator go "That's Furkan Fantastic from Korkmaz!!!"
 
There's no announcer in the NBA that I'd rather hear drop Furkan one-liners than Ron Boone.


"Well thats just, thats just Furkan out of control"
