Following potential 2015 draftees

love to see the posts of ectya and pgab. you guys gp have some insane knowledge.

I like oubre but I worry about his mind.
stanly Johnson is my #1 I think he would move Hayward to the 2 Alec as 6th man extraordinar. hood wood be a great compliment to burks on the bench.

I have to think Porzingis is pretty high on the Jazz's draft board. He'd be about the perfect complement to Favors and Gobert.
 
It was just an exhibition, but that's all we've got thus far..

UK (ranked #1 in the country, Div1) vs. the #1 ranked team in the country NAIA (think Div2, roughly).

UK played 13 guys and no one played more than 20 minutes. Here are the stats adjusted to 34 minutes of play;

--

Karl-Anthony Towns – 42 points, 9 rebounds, 6 blocks (90.9 percent FG)

Devin Booker – 34 points, 6 assists, 0 turnovers (66.7 percent FG)

Dakari Johnson – 28 points, 17 rebounds, 4 blocks (85.7 percent FG)

Alex Poythress – 20 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists (62.5 percent FG)

Trey Lyles – 19 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists (50 percent FG)

Willie Cauley-Stein – 18 points, 11 rebounds, 2 blocks (100 percent FG)

Aaron Harrison – 16 points, 5 assists, 0 turnovers (37.5 percent FG)

Marcus Lee – 14 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists (80 percent FG)

Tyler Ulis – 11 points, 8 assists, 6 turnovers, 4 steals (100 percent FG)

Andrew Harrison – 9 points, 16 assists, 7 rebounds, 0 turnovers (50 percent FG)
 
Gonna break my weekend only rule today, done with work anyway (Alibaba.com FTW) and I wanted to respond/update a few things.

PKM didnt the kid on the other team score 28 non-adjusted points? care to extrapolate his stats? I know he said the basket looked as big as the ocean after the game. I think its worthy of note the tallest player on Pikeville is 6'5". Do you know if Lyles and Towns were shooting from distance?

Kentucky is gonna steamroll teams this year... This draft is sneaky good. I mean that in the context of how they will perform in the NBA... the main reason they will tell you this draft is weak, is because of strength of future classes, many of which are abnormally loaded with stars.
 
Can someone catch me up on why Vezenkov keeps getting mentions here?

If Ingles sticks hes redundant IMO, but ive gotta say I prefer Nedim Buza. Buza's really improved his 3 point shooting since ive been aware of him, He's got a decent sized frame with long arms, he can still add a ton of strength. I thought he was underrated last year when he was mocked in the late 50's.

Alex Poythress is great value in the 30's imo, I dont think Buza's all that much worse of a prospect.

Vezenkov, to me, seems like the type of player you can pull off the scrap heap.. (Ingles, Papanlikaou(sp?))

If only Diop could play PF..

(His arms are infact as long as Rudy's)

Smart player and he's light on his feet... Im pretty sure he'd fit with these bigs here in Utah, Ive suspected for some time that he's better than most of these domestic prospects mocked near him. He's shown much better shooting ability than you'd expect, probably ends up with a consistant mid range game and 65-70% from the line, he hits that shot that enes takes on the baseline.

I don't have a problem with being wrong, unlike a certain somebody here.

Haha, did you forget about Conner Frankencamp? you were hyping him up. Well i guess you can forget about him this year anyway.

I ****ing hate being wrong, is their a problem with that haha? I put my money where my mouth is, since forever. Im not about an I told you so, thats just the collateral damage from forecasting, taking a position and having conviction in it.

To be a true champion you really have to hate losing, I truly believe that and can cite tons of examples, I ****ing hate Dwight Howard's attitude, thats sucker ****.

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.

I know this player, I think he's a 1st rounder and can possibly move into the fringe lottery, I need to see more footage, but i've gotta say i think Eurohopes is crazy to have him ranked over Svi Mykhailiuk. Should be very interesting to see him progress, I wonder when he declares, his born year is LOADED..

I dont think he stacks up to the top tier american talent of that age though.. Malik Monk would eat him alive.
 
@PG_AB

The kid that up 28pts was simply on fire.. hitting everything. He followed that up the next night doing the same against UT.

Towns wasn't shooting 3's and neither was Lyles. They were both hitting 15 footers, but no reason to go beyond that in the game. The other team had one 6'11 guy, but other than that very shrimpy. What stood out to me about UK other than obvious DEPTH (never the least bit tired playing 5minutes and sitting 5.. ) was the smoothness/skill.

When you have Andrew, Aaron, Booker, Lyles, and Towns.. it's pretty silky. Putting Poythress, WCS, and Johnson in the game turns it into muscle/power.
