What's new

Following potential 2017 draftees...

Looks like the monster game for Lydon had a spill over effect. Lights out 1st half, he's got 4 ast so I guess a triple double is possible.
 
Even with all the super productive players that have already surfaced in this class already, Jonathan Isaac can keep putting up relatively modest stats in comparison and still go higher than most all of em.

Thats just how talented he is. At 6'11" he uses those choppy steps you see from Rodney Hood. There are some traces of Porzingis in his game.

I like Isaac a lot.
 
Cool Hand Luke Kennard just busted this game open. They left him alone 3x from deep and he made them all LOL. Too bad. The upset was brewing for almost 30 minutes..
 
I hope Kennard comes out this year.

Hope so. It'd be a shame if players the quality of Frank Jackson and Gary Trent Jr. got stuck on the bench of next years squad.

there's going to be some odd movement around declaration time with the fringe 1st rd SG's.. Only thing we really know for sure is Josh Hart will be there, and I'd say if Rawle Alkins keeps playing as is he'll be there, same goes for Mushidi too.
 
Chimezie Metu looks GREAT and vastly improved, which is a big deal because he's a GREAT athlete at 6'11.

Excellent candidate for the Warriors pick IMO.

Melton looks awesome too. If the Jazz can grab them I'll be amped. Great athletes.
 
The Quarter finals have begun in the U18 Euro chip. Germany escaped Spain by the skin of their teeth just now..


HArtenstein was great 19 and 13 in 25 minutes. Mushidi was pretty damn bad, lots of TO's and 1/6 from 3.

He might be in our range. I remember you comparing him to Hayward and I dismissed it initially, but the more I watch of him the more striking similarities I see in the way they create space for their offense. Of course he doesn't have the length and physical profile of a Hayward or his defense, but some things are just shockingly similar.

here's a video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B15ZR678s_E

0:20 exact same way Hayward stops on his drives and headfakes in the lane into a fadeaway. I swear I've seen Hayward do this dozens and dozens of times.

1:00 Hayward uses the exact same fake, usually drives after the defender flies by.

1:40 That's the Hayward special, the step back from the right side. That's the shot that beat the Cavs, the shot that beat the Mavs(from left side) the shot that was going to beat the Celtics if it wasn't for Zeller's buzzerbeater.

And this is just in the very first video I searched on youtube.
