What's new

Following potential 2017 draftees...

I'm actually more concerned that he's only around 185 lbs. for a 2-guard. That's Zach Lavine territory and would seem to hurt him defensively. He can fill out and add strength though. Yeah, would be huge for him if he can add an inch or two.

His last documented weigh in was 197.....
 
Best thing about Lonzo Ball is that him being there limits how much Bryce Alford has the basketball.

He's shooting almost 50% from 3 with that crazy stroke on 5.3 attempts per game. His shot does sorta remind me of Kevin Martin's doesn't bring the ball across his whole body like that tho..

No PG was more impressive this weekend than Dennis Smith Jr IMO. Flashes of CP3.
 
Alpha Kaba is trending upwards too. putting up like 13 and 8rebs in his last few games. He could end up in the first rd if he starts to heat up from 3.

DX has 6 giants (7'2" or above) on their mocks for the next 2 drafts, is it excessive for the Jazz to go after a player like that?

Jeanne(who's a PF), Okouo and Pasecniks in 2017. Dos Anjos, Fall, Hass in 2018.
 
I'm not buying Harry Giles falling to 13... The report last week is he was doing 360 dunks in warmups.

It's obviously injury related, and I certainty don't have any insider details.. That just seems a bit of an overreaction.


I'd imagine if there's a red-flag it's because of his first knee injury in HS. I tend to believe the reports about his latest knee injury being healed/stronger than before.

UK's freshmen are just so good. Monk's offensive game is advanced as any wing i've seen in the last few years.

Bam will be better in the NBA than college, but he'll continue to get better and be a pretty damn good college player too.

Fox gets his shot going, watch out. Some weird cross between Rondo and Wall.

Gabriel may have to wait until next year to show his stuff - if he can beat out the new crop Cal brings in - but his length and athleticism, if he can show some production, may just be enough to sell NBA GMs.

Crazy to think #1 was a McD's AA and can barely crack the rotation.

This UK team has about as good a mix of stud freshmen and vets who can contribute valuable minutes, the usual length and athleticism and shooting as any UK team since Cal has been there. Not saying they are the best, but they may be the most balanced. Scary.

So with Monk being projected top-5 there's kind of an elephant comparison in the room and thats Russell Westbrook.. There's certainly some parallels..

This is the most fun team to watch I've seen in years. I don't think we had a single sloppy/lazy play until we were up 45.
And time of possession is down to around 12 seconds.
