**Rodions Kurucs could be an interesting player for the Jazz to try and promise with the Warriors pick. He just had knee surgery a month ago, so he's likely to pull out of this draft, he'd definitely be a stash target if he's in.
If Kurucs' is out, swap in Syracuse Freshman Tyus Battle into that 1st rd spot. I kinda like his chances.
2 more international sleepers with seemingly high upside - Senegalese 7-footer Atoumane Diagne, FC Barcelona. Abdoulaye N'doye a 6'6" French PG on Rudy's old team Cholet.
Diagne is born on Dec 31st so he's the youngest possible player in this draft.

Watching Favors in his hobbled state, I can't help but think - Maybe they start prepping for him to walk 2 summers from now?
Anyone here have a defensive / rebounding minded PF/C in mind??? I've got a few ideas, in this draft and the next one..

Bamba - your buddy's wrong.
UK seems to be all in on just a handful of guards. Will look at grad transfers as fallback.
Briscoe will NOT return.
Lonnie Walker (prediction Nova)
Diallo (prediction UConn)
Young (prediction UK)
Green (prediction Cuse)
Alexander (prediction UK)
Petty (UK / Bama - close)
Problem is the cupboard will be completely bare.
We will lose every single guard.

Bamba isn't going to be in the Jazz range..
He hates on Mo the way he hated on Andrew Wiggins, he thinks Louis King(2018) is a better prospect.. dude's a bigtime hater there's a long list of highly rated guys he's hated on recently, he's had a few spot on the $$ tho. He's good for a nugget every once in a while.
They're gonna go after grad transfers before M.J. Walker??? Thats terrible, I dunno why they wouldn't try to get him, he's a better shooter than Diallo...

What about 2018 re classifiers? any rumblings?? There's surely a bunch of older players that should be in 2017 anyway.. I dunno if anyhave the coursework tho.

No possible way Tatum falls to number 8 but Wow that would be a steal for the Nuggets and the nuggets draft well and have so much talent. Diop is not going to go to the draft to just be selected in 2nd round. He is a 4 year college player. Melo Trimble will go higher then where you have him. Early 2nd round late first round. Your top 10 is so wack dude.. Ball will not fall out of the top 10 and Patton from Creighton will not be declaring after this season. He is a on pace to graduate in 3 years, So if he goes early it will be next year. He is still very raw.

Bridges from Sparty will be much higher selected, Graham from Kansas you still beating that bush. He is not a first rounder and ?you have 2 Texas A &M players but you have the wrong ones. The big guy they have . Think his name is Tyler Davis. He is the one that would declare and get picked possible late round 1. I just cant believe you have Graham going in round 1. What a joke dude. Melo Trimble will be picked higher then him mark my words and the pf from Washington will be selected before Fox. Fox at number 2 is straight funny. .To Skinny

It's preseason bruh don't get your **** in a knot over it, I'm just calibrating a bunch of lists at once, it's a lot of trimming and there's tons of room for error.
Players I like, such as Fox, Markannen and Graham are rated highly, near the top of their ranges, and if they don't preform up to high standards will be dropped, some like Markelle Fultz (if he shoots it well from 3) and HArry Giles (if he stays healthy) are positioned to rise. Tatum could certainly go higher, a scarcity of quality wings past the top tiers will likely help his cause, but he's also recovering from injury.
I've been bringing up Diop on this site since he and D'Angelo Russell were headed to OSU, he's draftable and worthy of mention.
Graham should be the featured PG and it's hurt his exposure and will likely continue to do so. I definitely think the Cavs would like to have a PG like him.. I thought the biggest reach I had at PG was the Frenchman at 41..
BRidges could easily be a few spots higher at 20.
As far as Fox being too skinny that remains to be seen, it's said he's up about 18 lbs, so if he can maintain that during the season and add some going into the draft he'll be fine.

I like Tyler Davis he's a bull and certainly draftable in the 2nd rd eventually. He's short armed for the NBA though which tarnishes his best NBA skill rebounding a bit.
Hogg's 3pt shot and Robert Williams shot blocking to me are more promising..

Diallo is an awful shooter, lol.
Cal watched MJW but he backed off for some reason and no one seems to know why.
I love Bridges as a cbb player... but not so sure about pros.. he's kind of a tweeter with his size:skillset.
