Kulboka's locked in tho. He looks 1st rd quality.
What do you think is his position in the league?
BTW Frank is handily outplaying Arnas Velicka, who is a year younger but is probably another NBA prospect for next year...

SF/SG, he might not ever be a starter but he could be a real burner off the bench, not a one trick pony.
Velicka looks good Frank looks good IMO, his J is on today.
Yeah... I like Frank better though.
BTW Doumbouya must be lottery pick whenever he comes our, right? Need to see his measurements, but what he's showing at 15 against 2-3 years older players is quite impressive.
edit: Frank is a beast. Better prospect than Exum straight up. I'd trade Exum + our pick for the pick that lands us Frank without hesitation.

Doumbouya will go very high in the 2019 draft. probably top-10. His measurements are probably around 6'8½" in shoes with a 7'+ wingspan and I'd say a standing reach in the 9' territory already. He's regarded as the top talent in Europe born in 2000.
To me he's sorta like a blend of Michael Beasley and Andrew Wiggins, with minor traces of Jabari. He's got that elasticity they talk about with elite athletes, You can see it on his 2nd jump and when he's going full force, he's gonna be monstrously strong for a wing. He's got great body control.
Definitely a better prospect than OG Anunoby.
Sedekerskis leading this comeback right now.. We've got a game
lmao, I was watching Allen's post game interview, the dude was still crying. He has some serious anger management issues.

What a performance by Frank from 3.. 8/11 and counting.. 3 of them were from at-least NBA range too.
Kulboka's got 8 3's made too (on 15 attempts)

Holy mother of... Frank is good. And he's doing it in their 2 most important games of the tournament. I want to apologize to Frank for ever comparing him to Exum. Exum can play for 20 more years and he's never going to hit as many clutch step back 3s as Frank did today.

This is the U19 though, Exum dominated that as well, it's high school. Exum was never mocked lower than 6 at any point by DX. Some of the brainier stat guys like Pelton who make a living projecting these various levels of stats to the pros said he would take Exum at #1. So who is was the better prospect? Exum.

Exum was a great youth player and I was super high on him and I've been one of his biggest defenders on this board, but his handle and his shot were never good(and I expected he will improve but he has not progressed at all in those areas). He relied on quickness to beat people off the dribble and draw fouls and we've seen this just doesn't cut it in the league. I'd trade a bit of Exum's quickness for a lot more skill and shooting. With his shooting mechanic(his shot is a set shot), I don't EVER see him being able to shoot off the dribble consistently. Frank pulls up without a problem, step backs... crossover into pullup... His handle is still shaky in traffic like Exum's, but I think I trust his skill and handle and shooting RIGHT NOW much more than I trust Exum's ... ever.
(I think my faith in Exum has been broken... believe me, I'd love nothing more than for him to prove me wrong. A couple of years ago I got my first ever NBA jersey and was an Exum one, I really believed in him, but for various of reasons(the injury being the main one) it seems like he's not anywhere close to where we expect he'd be at this point. Of course, I'm open to be proven wrong, but at this point I'd say - I will believe it when I see it... Does that make me a bad fan?
