Following potential 2015 draftees

[Dr. Jones]

Read something about dakari barely seeing the floor next year because every front court player on the roster is superior to him. You agree with that?

Mostly. However, we saw in the tourney, with WCS out, that Dakari is a man on offense. No one could defend him in the post. So offensively he may be our best low post scorer. Definitely better than WCS and Lee. Towns is way, way more versatile and as a 7 footer can run a break, pass, and shoot from the perimeter.. but he's not as strong as Dakari down low.

Mostly Dakari is just a bit too slow in transition, laterally, and switching. That's what will keep him off the floor if anything.
I actually think WCS, Dakari, Lyles, Towns, and Lee all get fairly equal minutes until the post season tourneys when Cal will tighten the rotations for the tourney run.

Karl Towns is really, really interesting.

Karl Towns is really, really interesting.

What I have seen of Towns is insanely impressive. I dont know how he is not projected number one and at worst top three next year.

I think it should look like this:

1) Towns
2) Mudiay
3) Oubre (might laugh now, but he is legit)

Okafor and Alexander are really underwhelming as next level prospects in my eyes.

.

Still a while for schedules to be released but we know some games and there's going to be some damn good OOC games next year. To name a few.

UK vs. Texas (they're going to be good this year... oh, Rick Barnes oof.)
UK vs. UNC (THEY'll be good)
UK vs. KANSAS (very good)
UK vs. Louisville
UK vs. UCLA
UK vs. Providence
UF vs. KANSAS

AND of course UK and UF will play a couple time.

Providence should be a good game???

you buying into the Paschal Chukwu hype or? this dude is the size of Rudy Gobert, should be funny to see against UK's legion of 7'ers

i could be totally wrong but i really think UCLA will outperform expectations this year, Kevon Looney looks like a stat stuffer and eventual lottery pick.

the 2 4star guys Thomas Welsh and Jonah Bolden are pretty good, Welsh should put Tony Parker in his natural PF position to solidify the front court. Bolden looks like an NBA player, hes gotta be the most athletic 6'9" Aussie prospect yet

Marc Garcia figures to be the only '96 born International Player talked about in next years draft. I've read a few scouting reports and seen a good bit of footage on him(played with Hezonja) and im convinced hes going to be pretty damn good, hes almost automatic shooting corner 3's

6'6" with very long arms and hes a stone cold sniper off the dribble and in catch and shoot situations, his instincts are well beyond his years and hes very effective attacking closeouts, I think DX has this one right putting him in the Lottery. He and Hezonja are probably the best shooters in the 2015 Draft class

the highlights above are a mashup of a tournament that he won MVP even though his team finished 6th, one of the games he scored 46

(Btw thats Kristaps Porzingis hes laying the ball up over at 0:15, who has a 9'3" standing reach)

https://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsp...d-from-ukraine-a-key-recruit-for-next-season/ - Mykhailiuk visiting Kansas this weekend...

"Mykhailiuk, despite being just 16 years old, is eligible to play in college in America next season so long as he is able to get a qualifying test score. According to Bleacher Report’s Jason King, in Ukraine, students graduate high school in 11th grade."

Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk commited to Kansas... and will be there for 2 years since hes not 2015 draft eligible... ****

Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk commited to Kansas... and will be there for 2 years since hes not 2015 draft eligible... ****

wouldn't be eligible as an international as well.
If my memory isn't failing the 2016 class was fairly weak. Should give them more depth and quality.

2016 looks bigman heavy right now, imo. You now have 'Svi' but other than Malik Newman im not sure the other class of 2015 guards fit the 'one and done' bill.

maybe Luke Kennard(#13) can have a Stauskas like body transformation a year or 2 earlier and go 1 and done, its not likely though.

Tyler Dorsey(#7) doesnt wow me much more than Marcus LoVett (#41), neither did Jalen Brunson(#14) until i saw highlights of him dropping 56 on Jahlil Okafors squad in the state semi's. I doubt these players are going to interest NBA teams at PG after 1 season though
