Bender could easily go 2nd with Skal's play. Would have to say goodbye to one of our young players and draft picks to move up that far. His team actually plays today. Probably right now. Hopefully he will get a little Korkmaz action in as well on the 18th.
Ive only watched Skal's good games, but how many games is he allowed to have before his stock really drops? I guess it would be half-way through conference play?
Right I think he will drop a few spots if he is still struggling during conference play, but of course someone will think long term with him and pick him top 5 most likely. Also he is a little on the "old" side for a freshman. Ingram is a year and a half younger. Ellenson is a year younger, Bender is a year and a half younger, Simmons is only about 4 months younger. Therefore Skal is the old man of this group.

I can't figure out what Skal is good at.
Simmons and LSU's struggles - speaks more to his teammates being overrated and poor coaching, but his inability to shoot/score is an issue as well.

Idk some ppl just have unrealistic expectations. How many college freshmen regardless of talent have strung together like 40 straight 30+ point games and only Ws?
That kid is young, doesn't have as much experience as his competition and he'll be drafted very high if teams see development and learning process over the course of the season and throughout the workouts.
Have said it 10000 times, will do it once more:
Observing has more value than jumping to conclusions.

Not sure how much credit he should get for doing it against GA Southern, but it was fun to watch Ingram put up 26 and 14 tonight. Showed his arsenal - threes, mid range, couple very nice dunks, creating shots in the paint, etc.
I'm going to need to catch a full Ingram game soon. I think I'm ready to hop on the bandwagon.
They just got back their best player (Quarterman is their best returning draft prospect, but Hornsby was their best returning player) from last year and he scored 32 points in his first game back from injury, so things are looking up (even though they still lost).
And let's be smart, people are going to draft Simmons for his skills and they are being well showcased at LSU. They are an insanely good offensive team and play uptempo and let Simmons do his thing. No one is going to care about Simmons ability to carry a defense (at least not that much). He can always work on that. Exum wasn't considered a good defender pre-draft, but look at him now.
Dookies play Utah 12/19.
Anyone got a good comp. for Jamaal Murray???
Doesn't seem like he has elite quickness, athleticism or explosiveness... Not a knock down shooter either with only 33% from college 3's this year... not all that impressed with what I'm seeing so far.

What separates Skal from Ivan Rabb? Just asking, because I've been really impressed from what Rabb has been doing and how he looks on the court, and have had the kind of opposite impression about Skal as of late. So can someone explain before the season started why Skal was rated higher.
Just looking at teh measurments on DX, they are basically the same size. Skal is taller, but the wingspan and reach are the same. Rabb is 13 months younger too, so he would appear to have more growth potential left than Skal, from a vertical standpoint.
