Following potential 2017 draftees...

Remember when people laughed at me when I said Otto Porter would be better than Andrew Wiggins?

Vaguely. I remember you were high on Otto Porter.

i still like me some thomas bryant

Arent you the person who professes to love players with a motor? Isn't that Bryant's weakness?

Check out DeAaron Fox in this workout. If he can develop that jumper, he'll be awesome.

I'm far more interested in Frank and Dennis Smith Jr. Not that I think they are better than Fox, but I'm just so tired of Ball/Fultz/Fox at this point. Frank and DSJ have been forgotten about it seems in the the eyes of draft fans, especially Frank.

I don't disagree, but he's shooting with some real confidence there. Could solidify him as a top-5 pick. Also, you mean Ntilikina rather than Frank Jackson, I assume.

Yeah, but these videos always make players look good. Agents arent going to let these sites post video of the bad parts of a shooting drill.

Hell nah. Wiggins is empty stats. Otto Porter Jr is winning.

Put Wiggins on Washington and they'd be up 3-0 right now.

No Bryant plays with great fire. His weakness is he's a bit mechanical and possibly a bit of a diva.

One more thought... David Locke has said many times that scouts have told him that being an explosive leaper off of one foot is way more important than being an explosive two foot leaper. Is this valid? I feel like it's more important to be an explosive leaper in traffic and not just in wide open spaces, thought maybe they go hand in hand since it takes longer to gather yourself to leap from two feet. For example someone like Tyler Lydon (two foot leaper) looks explosive in the open court, but it takes him forever to gather himself to jump, so he's not that explosive in traffic.

This is important, U can see it in live action vs Rudy, he's very tough on 2-footed jumpers. This is why I knew LaVine was legit when DX had him ranked in the 70's of ll the freshman in the class.

Yeah it's one of those things where when you see it, you start noticing it everywhere. Even if you just watch the DX strength/weakness vids, if the prospect is "explosive in space," they're usually two foot leapers. In traffic just that extra split second it takes to gather seems to make a big difference. Then in the NBA where half a second makes a huge difference and the margin for error is so slim, those people will be at an even greater disadvantage.
