Following potential 2017 draftees...

Thon looks like he's added some muscle in this latest footage. A very good sign.

He's got a sleight frame no matter what. I was starting to think he wasn't making much progress in that area.
 
I really think this is an interesting player for the Jazz, and an interesting case of SF/PF tweener-ism. 6'9 long-armed Memphis commit, Dedric Lawson. who's got guard skills and forward skills; euro steps in transition, he can pass, he can put the ball on the floor, he's a factor on the o-boards, I like his shooting, ability to run the floor, he's got plenty of finesse to his game. Definitely has the look of a 1st round pick in my eyes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNi6cFySCqc - highlights almost a yr old.

Josh Pastner will need him to be a major contributor from day 1 for Memphis to regain respectability this year. I was going to post Dedric in 2018. I thought about 2016 as a one and done, which isn't out of the question, He'd have to kill it though.


He's probably best suited as a face-up 4, and I think he's got a chance at really transforming his body to make that happen. I suspect he's grown a bit too since last measured. If he could handle playing SF, i'd like him even more, he's probably slightly bigger than Luol Deng. I'm not sure if Dedric has the lateral quicks to stay with wings on the perimeter though.


Once regarded as a top-20 player in 2016, not too long ago. Dedric re-classfied up a year to enter college the same year as his brother K.J. who's a slightly watered down version of Dedric. (The youngest bro Chandler Is probably the best prospect of the 3). He's now by most services a 4 star recruit somewhere in the 40's of c/o 2015. I just don't get that, and i'm calling BS.

If this kid's available when we pick, we have to take him. His upside is HUGE and with our coaching, he could develop into a stud.
 
hehe. That's Markelle Fultz with the ball, and Frank Jackson attempting to guard him...

He looks young to me, like he could grow more and fill out nicely.

He was playing for DeMatha's Junior Varsity team as a Sophomore. After one season playing Varsity and a tremendous follow up summer he now sits as the 5th pick in DX's 2017 mock...


Quite a tale, that's a meteoric rise If I've ever seen one.


There's certainly massive upside, He might be able to play PG. He's kind of shows a D'Angelo Russell or even Jamal Murray type of skill-set.. Fultz has the ball on a string, and shows just about all the advanced-ball handling skills you could ask for. He's slippery as can be, and a nightmare matchup to try and stay infront of defensively.
 
@EvanDaniels
Markelle Fultz, a five-star prospect, will announce his college choice at the Elite 24 this evening, sources confirmed to Scout.


Sounds like Washington.
