Following 2016 potential draftees

In this LSU loss to College of Charleston, Simmons was 4/15 from the field for 15 points, 18 rebounds(His rebounding #'s have been off the charts -- No one could've expected this) 4 assists, 1stl, 1 blk and 7 turnovers..

Antonio Blakeney with an absolute no-show 0-9 from the field. There's officially no good reason to have him in the 1st round. Brandon Sampson with a no-show also.

Tim Quarterman's FG% and FT% are worth keeping an eye on. Not sure if there's any reason to keep him in the 1st round.

I'm shocked - I thought LSU was going to be better than this. Surely no Lebron led college team, with a 5-star SG like Blakeney flanking him would've lost to Charleston..... Even with all those boards from Ben LSU got out rebounded..
 
Just caught a Rutgers-Wake Forest replay.

-Devin Thomas could play the role of a lesser Trevor Booker enforcer type from day 1 on the Jazz, as a rookie 2nd round pick. He's really productive 8.6 FT attempts to 12.6 FGA's(which he converts at 53%) is a great ratio, if he can keep doing anywhere near that, plus the rebounding (11.3 per game) some team will take a flier in the 2nd round. 4 year senior, turns 22 in May. His sister Allysa Thomas was the #4 pick in the WNBA draft in 2014.

-Mitiglou with a poor performance. Only 28% from 3 so far on 5 attempts. He's a sophomore but younger than many Freshman. So there's no rush for him to declare this year if he continues as is. I'd imagine he will get offers to play pro back in Greece in the offseason though.

-Wake Forest has a freshman John Collins, who they list at 6'10 that looks like one to watch moving forward. He's been blocking shots and grabbing boards at a high rate in limited minutes. Looks to have some shooting touch too. Doral Moore's a 7-footer who can run and block shots so he remains worth keeping an eye on, shows some shooting touch too.

-Corey Sanders, Rutgers best recruit in eons really looks a good bit less reckless than advertised. He's got some passing instincts. He will prove to be a great pull for the Scarlet Knights. 6'2 and built like a tank, he can really jump too. He's gotta improve his shooting and he will really be capable of scoring in the big ten. If he can handle conference play as a freshman that bodes well for the Knights next year.

#15 Oregon about to tip off vs 5-0 Fresno St. Watch Tyler Dorsey, Dillon Brooks and Chris Boucher, it's early but they appear built for the tournament. Boucher is the x-factor. Dorsey and Brooks are young but I'd trust them to ice games. Dorsey was $$ vs a superior Team USA squad.

Guess I should read up on how Dorsey got on the Greek national team.

Maybe for the pg. Exum will be back. Neto should be better. We have Burke of course too. So all that makes me lean toward no but if we could get some 34 year old vet who is willing to just be a leader, sit the bench and play 15 minutes in case of injury, then I'd say yes. Kirk Hinrich who's a UFA comes to mind. Maybe Jarrett Jack if we're looking for more of an offensive-minded guy. He too is a FA. Regarding the 2. Slide Burke to SG all you want but then we'd have Burke, Hood, Burks, Hayward, and the draft pick you mentioned who can play the 2. That's unnecessary redundancy.


Agreed but I think this is what Lyles could become.



Agreed. Big time. There also seems to be a decent amount of these 4/5 types this draft.

You can all get the Furkan out of here.
 
Michigan's Duncan Robinson shoots 3's so well, he's going to be a pro. there's doubt in my mind. Including this first half he's 18/30 from deep to start the season.. As I've said before, he reminds me of Steve Novak.


Cheick Diallo's about to debut on ESPN3 vs Loyola. Expected to get around 20 minutes.
 
-Wayne Selden would be a good 2nd round pick for the Jazz. swap him with one of Chris Johnson, Elijah Millsap or Ingles. He turns 22 shortly after the 2016 draft and is certainly showing improvement of late.

-Kansas would be much better off with Devonte Graham running the show. It's painfully obvious. Mason continues to play absurdly out of control.

- Diallo starting to put up stats in bunches in the 2nd half. He and Bragg coming off the bench is just an absurd advantage for KU.

-LaGerald Vick looks good in limited minutes. KU's stacked with talent. That's why I had them #2 pre-season

-Solid showing for OSU in a loss to #10 Virginia, particularly Marc Loving and Keita Bates-Diop(who's scored in double-digits every game this season)

- Purdue's frontline is massive, and rebounds and blocks shots well, they also can shoot -- the real kicker is they can pass too. Swanigan is kinda like a blue-collar version of Trey Lyles.

- Texas struggling with UT-Arlington..

- Moses Kingsley with another 20-10 game for Arkansas

- Elijah Brown going off for UNM in the first half, 4/5 from 3.

Monte Morris? He has everything you want in a PG. Nice size, facilitator, takes care of the ball, good shooter, gets to the rim, patient, defends, high bball IQ, plus athlete, etc.

Currently averaging 7 assists and 1 turnover.
