Following potential 2015 draftees

Stop being a moron on purpose, you just kinda (not really) learned to stop on accident.

Shhhhh... I need to keep my 'tough guy' persona if I am to survive in this place.

Just confirmed he does not have a scholly offer but has been scouted. I hadn't heard of him until your post, tbh.

Thanks a lot, PKM. Nice to know they are at least interested in him. Because the kid has a very high potential.

And I hope he gets that offer at the end. NCAA would be very beneficial to his game. He can gain strength there. Because his biggest weakness at this stage is his upper body strength. But he has a nice, wide and long frame to add muscle to fix that issue and NCAA environment would be perfect for it.

Despite his lack of strength, I'm very high on him. He's a very finesse and efficient big man at 6-10 already with quite long arms. Reminds a shorter Pau Gasol to many Euro scouts, but with a better defense. He already has a more polished and richer post game than Enes and he also has a decent mid jumper.

He averaged 13.8 pts, 6.9 rbs, 1.8 blks with %60.7 FG in just 22.8 mins per game in the last U18. And he had a brilliant game against Spain with 21 pts, 18 rbs and 5 blks. But unlike Enes, he has been playing in youth NT teams that stacked with many high potential players, so he doesn't get a big role like Enes did.

Super duper glad to know he's a better person than Enes. For sure.

Enes is a very good kid, sir. But he's just a weird one.

And don't judge us because we are getting angry at him. It's because we love him. And by we, I mean us, the Turkish posters on here. Errr, or at least, me, myself and I.

Now, you just judged me.

[Park Bites]

it is easy not to judge I just hate everyone equally.

The profile page of Egemen Güven is updated in the NBADraft.net. He is projected at 20 in the 2015 class, but I think he would wait 2016 to join the draft.

Impressive. Will keep an eye on him and thanks for the update.

The UK games start today (11mst - espnu).

UK will be without WCS and Trey Lyles.

The competition will be tough for a young college team. The rosters include tons of former first round draft picks and NBA players (Horford, Garcia, i.e.). Calipari said he fully expects his team to lose all 6 games but to gain a ton of experience playing against former and current NBA guys.

Will recap after today's first game.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Okay, I didn't expect much from UK going into this game today. They're still a young team with two of their best players sitting out. Not to mention they're going up against seasoned guys in their late 20's that have played pro ball (europe/NBA/etc) for years

Anyway, UK beat Puerto Rico by 25 points.

Aaron Harrison was a delight. Smooth, poised, and polished. Led all scorers. Game has become easy for him.

Andrew Harrison was much of the same but in the PG mold.

Tyler Ulis is only 5'9 but is an incredible on the ball defender and makes the smart play with pinpoint passing every time. Will log big minutes.

Poythress was a beast on the boards, had some monster blocks, and is the ENERGY on the floor. Involved with every play.

Marcus Lee will be a good pro. He's similar to Jeremy Evans but just a better player.

Devin Booker.. sharpshooting SG that hits the shots, high BBiQ.. and is always in the right spot to be opportunistic.

Dakari Johnson was definitely in much better shape and it showed.. he had a couple dunks from well outside the restricted arc that he could not have done last year.

Towns.. going to be a beast. He missed a couple left hook gimmes but the dude is going to be sooo good.

Willis and Hawkins were very good end of bench guys (will be 11th and 12th in minutes this year).

---

With WCS and Trey Lyles in the lineup, the only way UK loses after the first couple months of basketball is if they simply can't make a shot... no way any team can hang and bang with them.
