In other Asian basketball news, Manny Pacquiao has gone Tree Rollins apparently and coaches/plays in the PBA now. Dude does it all.

But can he shoot it well enough to stay on the floor? I don't want another Al Farouq Aminu.

His shooting mechanics are not flawed, Shooting is one of the skills that most players do improve when they get to the League, Stanley has an insane work ethic, I believe he can shoot in the upper 30's in his prime, no problems.

Al-Farouq-Aminu-icon.jpg


Al Farouq Aminu's PER this year, so far, is 33.32, He's shooting 67% from the field, 33% from 3 and 75% from the line.

16 points(6/7 shooting), 10 rebounds, 1 stl, 1 assist in 20 minutes

I was laughing my *** off watching this live.
 
It will be a bit of an adventure with Stanley Johnsons shooting for the first few years i presume, (not anything worse than what Hayward did last year) his contributions in other facets of the game are why the Jazz NEED him though.

Kelly Oubre on the otherhand, makes the game look very easy, he's got enough talent to murder you while coasting, (that includes shooting from deep), Stanley seems to have a more intense and focused demeanor. The Jazz are absolutely gonna need some lucky lottery results to land Oubre though.

James Young made the game look easy until he got to college as well. Pretty easy to shoot over 5'8" kids all day when you have a 7' wingspan. We'll see if he fares better than Young did.

Kelly is much more battle tested than your giving him credit for! He wasnt playing 5'8" kids this summer, and this summer is when his value ascended safely into the top 5, He's clearly the best SG/SF in this draft (IMHO)

Its actually a pretty cool story, Justise Winslow(duke) and Justin Jackson(unc) were the headliners on his AAU team, Houston Hoops, and Oubre stole the show.

I think he can basically do it all. he most likely develops into a deadly step-back jump shooter, and hes got tons of range meaning he might be taking a step back from the 3 point line to get an open look.

I dont like Kansas, and ive got him #1 on my board... Stanley Johnson is a much better defender than he will see on a nightly basis at KU, and Kelly made it rain on him at the Addidas Nations camp.

Some started comparing him to Vince Carter this summer, im not sure about that, he reminds me of James Harden tbh

just for the weekend. every few ill pop in and flood these draft threads, I have most of this stuff committed to memory, so id rather dump it and see some reactions.

Ive been ready for the 2015 draft for quite some time, Ive actually bridged the gap and found a prospect from the year 2000, thats playing professionally already, so yall cant tell me **** about my 2019 draftee's thread, all of those players were born in the 90's. So I've been kinda looking at the 90's born players as a whole, and searching for ones flying under the radar. Dajour Dickens just hit the scene last week. Kostas Antetekounmpo starts HS ball soon as a SR, and Alexis Antetekounmpo will be a freshman.

as for 2015

Karl Towns could rise up my draft board to the top, but I've gotta see him play PF before i can really pass judgement, I think he's a C though, but PKM has convinced me to take a wait and see attitude. If Karl Towns can play PF, hes got the biggest standing reach for any PF ever, combined with Rudy that'd be great to watch, sounds like Thomas Robinsons worst nightmare.

I really want the Jazz to get one of, Marc Garcia or RJ Hunter, bring in the firepower, I still contend that Garcia is a better longterm prospect than Nik Stauskas, I think hes got more natural scoring abilities.

I believe some team (one who likes to shoot corner 3's) will go out on a limb and overdraft Garcia tbh. Marc's $$$ with the game on the line.

I like Garcia as well, pure scorer, he gets 20 mins per game in ACB now. Very impressive considering his age.

Have you watched 97 born Furkan Korkmaz? Very similar player to Garcia except he has much better athleticism and better rebounding. He is a great shooter just like Garcia and he likes to shoot and score in high volume. I have some question marks about Garcia's athleticism for the NBA but I'm much more confident about Furkan regarding athleticism.

But Furkan is still too young and I want too see him in the next U18 EC to be sure about his development. He has done great job in previous U16 and U18 tournaments but it's important to see whether he has the work ethic or not. You can see some highlights from his U16 and U18 performances here.

At this point I think Garcia is slightly better shot creator, but they are both pure scorers and great shooters so I think they can both play in the NBA.
