Following potential 2013 draftees

Poythress seems like such a perfect fit for us. But, like MKG, his stock will rise and he'll be out of our range come draft day :(

That is my worry as well. Let's just hope that come tourney time there are a bunch of guys that play great and they will be overrated and drafted too high leaving Poythress for us. Also, I have said this before, but I wouldn't mind if the pick cam to the Jazz for the 2014 draft. That group seems like they have high talent through the lottery. That could be ideal for the Jazz.

Yep .. either way. Not that it will matter for us, but '15 is going to be another monster class.

I need to catch up on the '14 and '15 classes apparently, I really only know the biggest names. But I do like our potential options in the '13 lottery (Poythress is first on my list of somewhat realistic possibilities).
 
Spoke with a scout today that was watching Alex yesterday. I asked him for a player comp (you guys I know HATE them, but asked anyway) and Alex got a pretty lofty comparison from this guy (who I respect a great deal). He said he is a more explosive Mashburn.

I'd take half that.

Mashburn was great before his injuries. He had a pretty complete game, well, minus passing the ball. He was a prototypical SF.

If that is where his career is headed then (like I have mentioned before several times), he would be a perfect fit for this youth movement.

PKM, how would you rank his maturity level? (For fun, you can use posters from this site as a comparison)
