Following potential 2017 draftees...

Coo. I actually don't hate the Josh Harrelson comp that Coach Cal made. I think he's obviously bigger, and its fair to assume He's way better than Harrelson was at a similar age.. I'm gonna speculate that he ends up drafted somewhere around the 20th pick though.



Was gonna ask about him next. Most importantly; What do you make of his mid-range game? IMO it will be critically important to his success moving forward for higher levels of comp.

I've sifted thru just about all the easily accessible footage on Wynward around. I've also seen his dad win a few woodchopping events, which are totally badass. Tai's obviously got a ton of core strength already. You see defenders bouncing off of him, and he doesn't even budge..

Can't say I like his NBA prospects as much as Humphries though, 6'10 in shoes, and 6'10 wingspan is a pretty big shortcoming to overcome in the NBA. I do like his chances at getting drafted though. Seems like a 2nd round pick though.

Is he viewed as a 4 year player? I feel like he might be able to drum up a solid 2nd rd promise earlier than that.

He's very raw and has a pretty limited upside to boot. He is currently viewed as a 4 year player and there is even chatter about him redshirting this upcoming half-season.

No inside scoop, but I am feeling good about Fox and Bridges.. And Monk too.
I like those three at the 1 - 3.

That dunk from Bridges a few posts up, might be one of my favorite dunks ever. I've replayed it at least 30 times already. Its worse than this one that Cal saw live

6'9" Serbian Sharpshooter, Borisa Simanic really looks the part of a stretch 4, seems to have a decent frame and long arms too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vh7BcksWENM

Simanic and 6'8" wing Aleksa Radanov also born in '98, who shows some combo skills are the best Serbian prospects IMO. Rade Zagorac('95) is draftable(late 2nd rd) too.
 
Kwe Parker(3 star - c/o 2016) to Rutgers. they should be an entertaining bunch of losers in the Big 10. Corey Sanders(c/o 2015) and Parker are both capable of extreme feats of athleticism on the court.

Parker's an undersized SG, and not a PG so I'm not quite sure how he projects beyond college, or how he will relate to these draftee threads. If I had to guess late-second round, maybe. His momentum was halted by a knee injury that he's since recovered from. Still a good excuse to post this mix.

Incoming (c/o 2015) Syacuse Freshman Tyler Lydon, is a player Givony must really like, he's got him ranked as the 20th best freshman (which would indicate 5 stars) when the RSCI has him at #72.

Around 6'10 in shoes with a near 7' wingspan and some obvious face-up potential I can see why. He's bouncy too. Obviously will need to add plenty of strength, he still might be able to declare after his Jr or Soph year.
 
Texas has 2 incoming freshman(c/o 2015) who can both really shoot the ball, in Eric Davis and Tevin Mack.

I've always liked Davis' game, he's quick and can score points in bunches, and at 6'3" with a 6'6" wingspan he's gotta be on the radar for NBA teams. I think hes underrated around the 40's and 50's. He's really good at getting shots off with the ball in his hands, very solid midrange game.

Could be a sleeper type of 2nd rd pick that can light it up.. I'd compare him to Joe Young, the #43 pick in the 2015 draft.

A bump from a Berkkobe thread over a year ago "Giannis Antetokounmpo is best basketball prospect right now in the universe"

Ya know.. the Antetokounmpo's will tell you the 3rd brother Kostas is the most talented, I know hes grown from 6'4 to 6'7 recently and will play HS ball in Wisconsin next year.

As for the best basketball prospect right now in the universe, I'm gonna take a long shot on a giant PG. Ill go with HS class of 2016's De'Aaron Fox. long armed 6'4 Lefty PG, dynamite athlete, awesome shooter, great defense, I have a sneaking suspicion that Fox is infact 'the real deal', whenever i watch Fox i get a strong 'this is going to work in the nba' feeling(He plays very well vs older competition).

Now he's ranked #2 in the class, before Harry Giles by 247.
