@PKM this Trae Young quote seems to fly in the face of your early reports on Devin Booker at UK. Care to clarify?? I'm guessing your source was unaware Cal had come to this realization?

“Coach Cal. He told me a story about when they were recruiting Devin Booker it was understood that he was going to be on a three-year plan. He was gonna be there three years and then he was gonna leave for the NBA. His parents knew that and everything. Well, Coach Cal put him through a couple workouts when he got there and called his dad and said, “He’s gone this year. He’s out. He’s not coming back.” It was crazy because Coach Cal said his dad was still saying he planned on being there three years, but Coach Cal said no he was gone. He ended up being a lottery pick and he’s gonna be a franchise player. He just knew after a workout or two. Crazy.”

What were these earlier reports of mine you are referring to?
And I dare guess you are not picking a fight again, right?
 
The Jazz were represented at yesterday's nationally televised Kentucky practice. Although, so was the other 29 teams. 90 NBA execs and coaches on hand.

a good Australian league team is probably about the standard of a 10-15 ranked college team. The top flight teams would be too fast and athletic and skilled but the Aussie league teams players are men with men's bodies so would physically overpower a lot of college teams save the top flight ones. They wouldn't develop a young prospects game all that much.

I would say comparable to 15-25 ranked team. Top 10 is a little to high. College basketball is watered down now anyways because good players don't stick around 3 to 4 years so the rosters are always on constant changeovers..

PKM source is the Kentucky scout board. Anyone that ever has real inside info does not mention it online like a gossip hound..
 
How is a player from France a local player?

Just stopping by to see if anyone's got info/an opinion on a local player.


Here's a possible 2nd round sleeper/stash candidate/player to track for the road;

6'3" French CG Luc Loubaki, who was the youngest player in the ProA league getting minutes(10mpg) looks like a an interesting development project and like a player that would've been ranked pretty highly(at-least 4stars) if he came up thru a US HS.

DX has him ranked #30 in their International '97 rankings but that seems absurd considering their unwavering love of George De Paula Lucas..

He declared for the last draft, worked out for teams, his reason for withdrawing was to have a meniscus surgery apparently, which also caused him to miss the U20 tournament this summer..

Total freak athlete, effortless lift/extremely explosive and his build is ideal for his height.. lockdown defensive potential.. His skill on offense is very much a work in progress. Especially for a team with 4 2nd rd picks he could be worth taking a flier on, If he can show improvement staying under control offensively he'll be viewed in a totally different light..

Off topic but I am sickened that there is a UK pop up bean bag game sitting in the middle of campus at the college I work at. Needs to be set on fire.
