Following potential 2015 draftees

Just saw that Okafor had a 25 point, 20 rebound game on Monday.

Damn.

Russell is averaging 5.1 assists, that's insane.

He's also shooting 48% FG and 43% from 3 on 5 attempts per game!!! He's my dark horse and my pick if we drop in the lottery to 8-9...

Really good matchup this weekend to watch - Ohio State vs North Carolina. Russel vs Marcus Paige.

Him using the opponent's player getting back in defense as a moving screen going down to the rim was hilarious at 5:50...

He looks intriguing... I think he may be more of a point than an off guard if that matters in the NBA these days. He does seem small and doesn't seem like an explosive leaper. The shot, handle, and passing are great though. He is also a little flat footed with his jumper. I'd like to see him play against a defender with some length.
 
He's not very explosive indeed, but his size is good. He's actually 6'5'' and his wingspan is 6'9'', which is pretty good even for SG.

His off the ball defense is elite - denying the ball to his man, beating the pindown, defensive stance and technique, playing the passing lanes, help defense and rotations. On the ball, sometimes gets beat off the dribble. I think his thick body hinders him there and he might not be as quick as it is ideal for the position, but he makes up for it by effort and not giving up on plays and catching up enough to contest most shots(sometimes he misses the contest due lack of anticipation, while trying to catch up). His contests on pull up jumpers are really good and opponents almost always have a hand in their face while shooting.

I am not ready to say if he's as elite as Gordon was last year.

All of this. He is definitely not as an elite defender as Gordon, but his offensive game is far more refined. There are very few players as elite as Gordon defensively. . .
 
Anyone in on Myles Turner... Athletic, long, really good shooter... dude is killing it against lesser comp and I know he sucked against Kentucky, but I think he's 4th or 5th on my list. Has a really good stroke and quick release, could be a stretch 4 or 5 and be a good defender.

He also plays like a *****.

I want a player with some type of an attitude. No more soft, nice guys.
 
I like McCullough's potential as much or more than Turner. There's something about Turner's movement, the way he runs and moves laterally, that is holding him back from being a real impact player, imo.
