Following potential 2015 draftees

It could be... I like how Caris LeVert has started the year as well(right now he's at 16/7/4.5)... He seems really long and athletic for the SG position as well as laterally quick... It seems like he's kept his shooting form from last year and is shooting again over 40% from 3. He's a young junior and still has the possibility to get stronger so he'd be more effective defender, but the potential is there for him to be a really nice two-way player.

Winslow has been ballin' too. There are so many interesting prospects...

Sadly I've become sceptical of Michigan's players.. Burke, Stauskus, GRIII ... all of them have been big time College players but none of them have so far translated... makes me wonder if it's the 'system' that make them seem better than who they really are as players?


(sorry Bluenote >__<)
 
Looney isn't that explosive, but his fluidity, timing and feel for the game look pretty advanced. Decent shooting touch too. I like him as a prospect more than Noah Vonleh, which says what exactly, I don't know.
 
A nice dunk from Hezonja in the yesterday's Euroleague game.

Honestly it's way too early to write off skilled talents like Stauskas.

Burke's streakiness is nothing that wasn't anticipated since he lacks certain traits. He was never projected to become an upper echelon point guard(Except by a couple Jazz homers after he was drafted)

I don't even know where GR3 is playing. And I would know had he seen much playing time...Is he injured?

Bitch McBlazy, jersey number 420 is injured but looked okay in the preseason.

To be fair I've seen him compared to CP3 before the draft by some people(not Jazz fans). :D

Well some ppl have an incentive to overhype NCAA players in exchange for incentives/information/cash. So that's not surprising.
Also there's people like PGAB who take a players best game and use it as a baseline for their development and ridiculous extrapolations. Enthusiasm may also play a role in that.
These guys also tend to evaluate 16 year old kids based on pickupstyle highschool games and true pickup AAU games and try to make conclusions out of this. I don't think Bill Self is an extraordinary coach but he's right on these highschool projections and the volatility of these.

Also I hate this measurement fetish of some posters. Skill level is so much more important. The only stars the league has solely based on hops are center. Everyone else has a pretty decent skilllevel. So that's what I'm looking for.
