Following potential 2017 draftees...

From Chad Ford's recent article about the combine.

Teams are waiting with a lot of anticipation for Harry Giles' medical reports to come back. I talked to a number of NBA executives who said if he's totally cleared by their medical staff, he could move in the Nos. 5-10 range of the draft.

"He's the best prospect in the entire draft if he can fully recover and stay healthy," one NBA executive said. "He's just a freaky talent."
Those are big ifs, but talk of him sliding out of the lottery doesn't seem realistic unless he gets red-flagged during the Saturday medicals.

As an aside, DX has DSJ mocked at 9, but I think he goes top 5 or 6 on draft night.
 
Looks like you are going be beyond wrong here PGAB

Good article that might support what [MENTION=245]Catchall[/MENTION] is saying (to an extent). Talks about how Kurucs got to play in a worse division let him have a bigger role and try more things than he would if he played in the bigger leagues.

This is another good article linked to the one you posted. His game is a work in progress. He may well end up being 6'9" or more making him really big (maybe too big?) for a wing. He could end up being a draft-and-stash player so he can develop more physically.

I disagree with Chad Ford here. This is a deep class with no clear cut number one but 3 or 4 players worthy of being the first pick. And it's fantasy to say if he didn't have the injuries because for one he has had multiple injuries and that what if game scenario could be applied to countless other players. I find the what if game to be beyond silly
 
Lol,is LeBron or Durant to big to play at the wing position? This was the
Silliest comment I have read today Catchall. Do you watch bball even or just follow it on here and the radio?

Iwundu looks great, but man has he done nothing these two scrimmages. Not nearly aggressive enough going to the rim and some of his lob pass attempts have been pitifully bad.

Kurucs has to maintain his quickness if he's going to be a wing in the NBA. He's not exactly the athlete that Lebron or KD are. Dario Saric's best position now appears to be PF. Whereas, he was considered an SF around the time he was drafted. Similar situation.
