What's new

Following 2016 potential draftees

From Givony: In Europe @KKMegaLeks completed a semifinal sweep & advanced to Adriatic League finals. Timothe Luwawu 17 points (4-6 3P), 6 rebs, 4 assists

I'll bet he goes top ten... He's intriguing and if he's making threes consistently.

Jazz drafting Luwawu bros
 
Luwawu on the Jazz radar. Would love to actually watch him in a game. But what do I know? I didn't like Porzingis when i watched him in Europe.

Lindsey on the Big Show yesterday, said he was in Europe for a scouting trip. Missed his kids tourney game, and wasn't scouting other teams in the tourney. I thought it was interesting.
 
In today's NBA, Ben Bentil should be getting more attention as a prospect. You just don't find true 4s who can score 22 ppg in a major conference and do it from everywhere on the floor as well as Bentil.
 
I was back-and-forth on Buddy because people said Devin Booker was "just a shooter" and he's shown much more, and I thought Buddy might be the same way. But Booker just never really had a chance to show it at UK and Buddy has had the chance, and he's 22 playing against NCAA competition. It also depends on where he goes. If he goes somewhere like Toronto or Milwaukee he will be more successful than if he goes where I think he will...If he's available for SAC or NOP he is going to one of those teams (if Murray is off the board).

You say that as if he's had his chance and failed. Despite the fact that he scores a ton from three doesn't mean he doesn't also score a lot from two 2pt shooting % is 54% so he's pretty darn good at it - dude just scores a lot. Beyond that, when you can shoot the three like him, you want to get as many as you can from three because it becomes a more efficient shot - 47% 3pt > 54% two point. Also gets to the line nearly 6 times a game. To insinuate that he's just a 3pt bomber simply isn't accurate.

I don't mean that he's failed, I mean that he's failed to convince me that his inside/outside game will be successful at the next level. And that in turn makes me worried that he will be relegated to being a 3 point bomber in the NBA.
 
Wow, Luwawu looks like a nice player. I doubt he will slip to low teens. He has nice form on his shot and is bouncy.
