What's new

Following potential 2017 draftees...

Wilson highlights...

Remember he's 6'10.5" with a 9'1.5" standing reach. He's the same size as Jonathan Issac from Florida State, actually has slightly better length. Video says he's a junior, but he was a sophomore.

He's a 37% 3-pt shooter and 83% FT shooter.

I'll admit I have see little of wilson.... what is there to like?

Measurements and athleticism off ball. He is one of those players people will fall in love with because he looks the part, but I'm not sold on him as a player. Could be wrong though.
 
couple thoughts

OG is the player who will rise up because of his testing at the combine. Athletic wise he test off the charts but his basketball skills are nowhere near ready to be a pro. I see him as nothing more then a defensive specialist at this point

MOnk is a solid player. Will be a a valuable 6th man. Type who could be a 6th man of the year awar winner multiple times. Think Jamal Crawford. To undersized to guard 2 guards in the nba, to get his shot off over bigger defenders and lack great ball handling and decision making to play the point guard. He be a kick butt 6th man because of those 3 qualities I just mentioned.
 
jazz fans in "Their Mock Drafts" and rankings all have TJ Leaf way to low. This is a kid who is going be a very good nba player. He would look great next to Gobert since Leaf can stretch the floor and Gobert can only make shots 3 feet fronm the basket. Love to see Gobert learn the baby hook shot with both left and right hand. That would make him much more of a dangerous player.imo

You may be right, but if he's not going to be ready to play full contact in time for training camp and the start the season at full strength, teams that are impatient might let him slide a few spots.

Somehow I doubt he gets past Milwaukee at 17.

Good list. I'm not high on Justin Jackson either, but didn't have the nuts to push him to the end of the first round.

You're really carrying that Kuzma banner.

Jeanne sees himself as a PF rather than a center. He's not heavy or strong enough the play the 5 and may never be a la Nerlens Noel.

Wilson is a huge wildcard, as is Giles.

If I did a mock I wouldn't have him going past 21 (think the Thunder would take him if he fell that far). I just think some team will take him wanting his length, shooting, and "nba ready" ability. Bulls @16 have a long history of taking big time and experienced college players.

The PF position is so wide open IMO. Super hard to rank. Same with center.
