Following potential 2017 draftees...

Heh, Thon Maker is still shrouded in mystery at this point, and with his brother around it's easy for them to kick up dust in any direction. I still think Kentucky will swoop in and get him somehow. Arizona St. seems to be the favorite at this point.


You know there's a second Bongo right? Class of '18, he's already the same size as Myck, and holds offers from Indiana and Virginia Tech. his OFFICIAL mixtape just dropped;

Andrew Jones from Texas, was underrated because he blew his knee out. This summer he exploded onto the scene. No one improved their value quite like he did. he went from nondescript to high-priority, he did it fast and in convincing fashion too. He's probably still picking up an offer every day. Seems like a player with a high ceiling.

I think he uploaded these vids on youtube himself, the footage is from him freshly back from knee surgery too.. 6'4-6'5" combo guard with great athleticism, looks like he can handle and shoot too...
 
I'm btw very surprised considering how highly the '17 draft has been projected by you guys all those years to see 2 Germans in lottery range there. Or it's just Givony doing politics.

What do you know about the great Mario Kegler?

Dropped this post about him in early July. I asked PKM about Kegler probably all the way back in 2013. He was HS teammates with Malik Newman, and UK had interest in both, I was trying to see If there was any sort of package deal. or if an early offer to Kegler would help the chances with Newman, back when Newman was still rated #1 in the class.

Cool. I always thought Kegler looked like a possible pro, the footage and articles from the top 100 camp look impressive (vs great competition!). Maybe he can jump the rankings like Dwayne Bacon did, now that he's headed to Oak Hill and playing his position. I definitely buy that Mario's got some finesse to his game, even though he's an obvious power wing prospect.

Harry Giles is transferring to Oak Hill too, who's easily one of the best PF's anybody could play with. Bacon shot up from the 50's, solidly into 5 star status last year playing SF there, I like his chances. They also a guard there who I think is very underrated right now somewhere in the 60's-90's, Ty-Shon Alexander. Oak Hill is always loaded, their coach has a career record of 800+ wins and 49 losses...

Mushidi seems a bit flakey, Ive seen him play a few times obviously watching Hartenstein. There's something there though, he's sort of Victor Oladipo-ish. I thought he passed the ball well on the perimeter, makes quick reads/ see's the floor well.

There's some zingers in that DX report though "too strong to get posted up by powerforwards" that is certainly an exaggeration.


Hartenstein IMO is a better long-term prospect than Thon Maker and deserves to be in the lottery.
 
Hartenstein has the title of greatest Jewish basketball player ever on lock or will it always be Amare?

Kegler coming to Mississippi State. Book it.

If Newman returns, sure. If not, They'd need a bigman in 2016 too, one of James Banks, De'Ron Davis or Schnider Herard.. And a PG, Tyson Carter from Starksville blew up in July, or Dejon Jarreau. I like some of those players and its a novel idea, not sure why they'd all gravitate to the other MSU though. I don't really see how that's in their best interests.

He'd do great next to a player like Thon Maker, if ASU can pull that off.

UConn would certainly have much better pieces to surround him with too.
 
As much as I like Kegler, I think 4 star UNLV recruit, Justin Jackson is a better prospect. He's more versatile and passes like a guard, both have 7'2" wingspans IIRC.

kind of a Draymond Green type skillset, he's a SF though, not a SF/PF. Thon is in these highlights too, #20.

Because of Ben Howland. He will be making moves. Having a strong year with Newman will be key. He did recruit Eli White over Florida and Connecticut, so it's a sign that they are gaining more respect from recruits.
 
Here's an absurdly underrated (3 star) prospect, that has a DX profile which reads "Potential NBA prospect" in the outlook. something doesn't add up... He's 6'7" long, bouncy as hell, dunk contest worthy, and has a nice looking jump-shot. Bit of a Ballhog/chucker. UCLA bound. Will be an interesting prospect to track, he's from the Philippines.
