What's new

Following potential 2015 draftees

I want us to do whatever we can to get Winslow. I love him.

I'm just tuning in to him, in part because you and Cy called him out. Looks like a solid above-average athlete. Has measurables close to Kawhi Leonard, but seems quicker, more fluid and more explosive. Really young guy too.

Problem is, we're going to be lucky to draft in the top 10 this year.
 
Brandon Knight
Enes Kanter
Tayshaun Prince
Jodie Meeks
Keith Bogans
Nerlens Noel
Julius Randle
Terrence Jones
James Young
Patrick Patterson
Chuck Hayes
Nazr Mohammed
Darius Miller

Wow.. he just missed a walk off game winning layup against the Nets...


The saga of Brandon Knight continues.. LOL
 
Only caught the 2nd half of the Duke game, but I was impressed with Winslow. He looked really hungry out there.

Really, Duke was an impressive team iimssm

How did his offense look?

I've been watching him for nearly three years (RIP - PG_AB) and I have loved his athleticism, potential for D, but have been less than impressed with any offense. That's not a knock, btw, because all freshman have a but.
 
Winslow's shot actually looks pretty dang good. Nice form from the little I've seen. Pretty good at driving into the lane and finishing. Good enough handles for the fastbreak, but not great. Reminds me of Iggy in some ways.

It's early, but he's my favorite wing player so far. No homer.

Thanks. (sincerely)

I'll have to continue to watch (ugh)
 
I haven't actually seen him that much unfortunately, so don't take my word for it. Had to miss the MSU game bc it's wedding week lol.

I didn't see him take many jumpshots. Probably your typical athletic freshman wing player in that department. He actually looked pretty crafty. Took advantage of a mismatch in the post (got dat NBA body), and had some decent moves going to the basket. I did feel like he was playing with fire some of the time when he drove to the hoop, but it worked out more than it didn't.
 
Also was quite impressed with the 17-year-old Ukrainian kid for KU whose name I'd butcher if I tried to spell it. I'll just call him Svi. Dude can ball

A certain someone tweeted this about Winslow

Was wondering how long it'll take until people started mentioning Justise Winslow among the best players in the NCAA. Answer is 2 1/2 games.

Jonathan Givony @DraftExpress · 19. Nov.
Justise Winslow, a 6-7 18-year old who changes hands, speeds & directions w/the ball in the half-court & gets to the rim. That's not normal.

He also wrote this about Oubre, who many have very high here on the board...

I think Kelly Oubre tried harder on defense in some of the high school all-star game practices I watched than he is tonight. Major target...

Can't wait for a Kansas weekend game that doesn't start so late over here. I liked Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk a lot(I hope I spelled that right, but even if I didn't I'm sure 99% of the NBA announcer will be considerably worse at it, they still can't pronounce Adetokunbo. THat's not even tongue twisting once you know the Greek spelling has nothing to do with how it's pronounced and that prolly someone illiterate did at their immigration office)
