Monk - UK
Fultz - UL
Fox - UK
Zimmerman - UNLV
Kuruk - ?
Isaac - FSU
Ntilikina - ?
Hartenstein - ?
Adebayo - NC State
Alkins - Villanova (this kid loves UK, and I love his game, but there's only so many we can take and I think we are hard after Fox and Monk)

Heh. I used to ask you about Jackson when he played at Detroit Consortium, something along the lines of "Is this guy not good enough to get an early offer from UK??"

(The #1 player who I'd ask that question about these days is 2018's Silvio De Sousa)

It's odd to see Jayson Tatum over Josh Jackson though, I don't buy that at-all.. seems dated, and pretty stupid TBH..

I like Fultz and also see him at UK. I just still believe he is overrated in this mock.

Fultz looks overrated in that mock to me too. I'd take Nlitikina or Fox with no hesitation.

UK never pursued Jackson because of some red flags from compliance dept.

You've seen him play? I caught a few games during the U18 tournament and he looked like the real deal.

No I just know his name for a couple years. Didn't know he was a NBA prospect. His dad played in the German league for a decade or so. That's how I knew about him. Dad was one of those players who we call "railway crossing gates" in German. 5 fouls to give and sometimes flagrant ones...

Hartenstein's got great face-up potential. Projected near the top-10 now, seems like he got the talent to go higher though. Playing with pro's will serve him well, he must improve his shot selection.

He kind of projects like a left handed, Derrick Favors sized version of Keith Van Horn, thats not quite the shooter.. IMO

The Dirk comparisons are obviously far-fetched. Posted the U18 highlights somewhere already so here's these

Terrance Ferguson has committed to Alabama, according to his coach Ray Forsette.

Always reminded me a bit of Zach LaVine. He's a pure SG though, and a more reliable shooter.

Good for the SEC. Back to back days of getting 5stars (Auburn and Alabama).

Won't take Pearl long to get the Tigers prowling.

Not saying it for shock value. He actually reminds me of Hayward, check out how Rodions handles the ball. Really long arms too, probably has a standing reach near 9ft.
