Following potential 2017 draftees...
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
I would take Frank Jackson. He's a little bit more explosive athletically. And he's almost 4 years younger. That's significant development time. I do like White though.

I like Swanigan, but i am concerned about his body for today's NBA. It's not so much that he's too short, but my concern would be whether can move well enough for his height.
You have to like his overall skill level and the fact he's already shown the ability to hit the college three.
With regard to Patton, I'm lukewarm. I never liked him much the 3-4 times i watched Creighton, but mostly i just like other guys better. PgAb loves him.

I'll add my 2 cents to the bigs question
Collins has the ability to score from all over the floor. His game reminds me a ton of david west. I think he has the ability to be a decent defender and like i have always said it will be about his desire to become so. If he has the desire of Boozer or Kanter no but if he wants to get out and play he has the ability.
Swanigan would of been a lotto pick 15 years ago. His size and skill level was perfect for the NBA the. His body type he will always have to watch what he eats and how he gains muscle or he will not be effective in the current NBA. His jump shot looks good and will translate to the NBA but defense is my question. He will have a hard time guarding stretch 4s. He does have the wing span to play a small ball 5. It is the lack of success of players like Jared sullinger and his build of player that is hurting him the most.
Patton is one of my favorite players even before PGAB was pimping him. He is raw and a project but he is athletic and has a nice lookign jump shot. He has the potential to be very good and seems like he is a decent kid. He is a 5 in the NBA but maybe be able to guard a little out on the perimeter. I think he can be good if he puts in the work.

John Collins? I think he literally had 3 baskets outside of 15 feet this year.
[MENTION=245]Catchall[/MENTION] One more Euro scout with not very flattering analysis on Rodions Kurucs. I just listened to The Rights to Ricky Sanchez podcast and Elan Vinokurov said this: "Injuries have slowed his development, he's not even playing for Barcelona's first team. He's very far away from being a contributor on an NBA team. Maybe he becomes a Sam Dekker? Or Casspi... down the line... like in 5 years?"
