What's new

Following potential 2017 draftees...

Think I've mentioned him here once before but just incase. 6'11 Aussie Jacob Epperson is well underrated at around 50 by most scouting services. He's an obvious pro prospect, also probably the 3rd best big still available in the 2017 class behind likely lotto picks Mo Bamba and Brandon McCoy.

He's very athletic and has a nice foundation for a broad-based skillset. Creighton's telling him he's similar to Justin Patton at the same stage..
 
Taurean Thompson on Syracuse this year kinda reminds me of John Collins, who's now blown up out of the Jazz range, last year as a Freshman. advanced scoring instincts.
 
There is some dude on Louisville named "Quentin Snider" which is basically just the black version of Quin Sndyer.
 
Mahmoud has made so many excellent plays in winning time... the deflection he had in the 2nd half with like a minute to go was a GREAT play

Down goes Baylor. Knew they were in trouble when I saw 0 points and 2 rebounds for Motley at the half.
 
LaGerald Vick might be the closes thing to Alec Burks that I've seen since, I suspect NBA teams are higher on him than we're led to believe...

I wouldn't hesitate to take him with that Warriors pick. He seems to me like the type who will thoroughly impress in team workouts and rise up boards late in the process.



WVU lost and never should have but S/o to one of the more underrated/underappreciated PG's in the nation Jevon Carter, who I'd take over Briscoe probably. He's easily one of the best on-ball defenders around.
 
Lots of lil updates from DX's mock in the past few days.

-John Collins continues to rise, all the way past Giles and into the fringe-lottery range.

-Jarron Blossomgame finally drops out of the 1st. Been complaining about that for months.

- Semi Ojeleye debuts in the top-45!!! been posting bout him here for months.
 
Word is INSEP product (originally from Haiti) 6'6" wing, Yves Pons will play for Tennessee next year.

He's a freak athlete in the mold of Derrick Jones Jr (or perhaps Jordon Varnado @ Troy)... Definitely a player to watch.. His pro potential is seemingly underrated on the lists of best euro's born in '99 IMO.. he's raw tho.

Edit - Since Derrick Jones was mentioned. I really hope he wins the contest. He shoulda been drafted, had him on my bigboard in the final update.
