What's new

Following potential 2013 draftees

It's way early, but I'm thinking the draft will go;

1) 'Bazz
2) Noel
3) Zeller

... and then, imo, there's not a ton of separation (currently) between the next 17 - 20 players.
 
Interesting. As things currently stand, we're looking at the #13 and #22 picks.

DX has MCW at #13 (flanked at #12 and #14 by CJ McCollum, PG/SG, and Otto Porter, SF)
DX has Sergey Kasarev at #22 (SF) and flanked by Trey Burke (PG) and Marcus Smart (SG/no thanks)

Even though I'm not supremely high on any PG's in the draft .. I'd consider taking both MCW and Burke .. unless there's a kick *** SF to take .. but I'd take MCW over Porter and Burke over his flanks.
 
Tony Mitchell: I have been a bit underwhelmed. NT has only played one ranked team (Creighton #16) and the other 11 games carry an average ranking of 227 (yikes).

Tony is averaging 14.5pts and hitting 29% of his 3's. His blocks look pretty good, but they're against small white dudes. Now, if Cy jumps on the bandwagon, it will be the final nail and we'll know to stay clear of Mr. Mitchell.

EDIT: Not meaning to pile on, but holy hell.. when North Texas played SE Louisiana (ranked 329th and winless), Tony played 34 minutes and had;
8pts
10rbs
0asts
0stls
3blks

His opposition in that game is a starting lineup of all scrubs (one guy averages double figures - 11) and standing;

5-9'
6-2'
6-3'
6-6'
6-7'

(There are several other examples like this one .. I predict his stock begins to drop)

I can't resist .. one more..

LA-Lafayette (ranking of 262)
25 minutes of play
3pts
4rbs
3blks
0asts
5to's
fouled out - LOL!

So Mitchell's rebounds and blocks do look good, sort of, but he's also playing the 262nd strength of schedule.
*I'm not hatin', but I am sayin'.

Otto Porter > Mitchell
 
Porter averaging 13.2 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.2 assist, 1.4 blocks, and 2.2 steals per game.

Also shooting 51% from the field and 44% from deep.
 
Holly **** Khem birch. Rebs on the rise.


Khem Birch, F 29 7-8 0-0 6-8 3 8 3 1 6 1 2 20

That's 6 blocks. He is a monster defending the paint. Just his second game in over a year. When moser gets back Rebs will have one of the best front lines in years.
 
I still think we need one good young big in our rotation once we jettison the "vets". Love to see us end up with either birch or Bennett and porter. They all have a winning attitude. We need that. We need a guy with swagger who can back it up.

I'm mostly naive but skeptical that a 6-9, 175 PF is the 3rd big this team needs. That's Evans.

Paying attention to Jeff Withey for that role (or 4th big, since I still am holding out hope the Jazz can retain Millsap).
