He hit a 3 too

I watched 3 minutes of him playing, I saw he got the ball on a roll and went up super weak when he could have easily taken it to the rim hard. Is he recovering from an injury or just not athletic at all?
 
check this out, glad someone made these highlights!! This 4-star player is going from unlisted in my mocks to top-37 in the next release. Been posting about him here since recruitment.

Many of the 4-star players I was hyping are really out-performing those HS rankings......

Probably just a case of him over finessing it. He's not a great athlete by NBA standards thats for sure but he's WAY better than Kanter, he's got some lift, he looks most athletic blocking shots.
 
Purifoy has 17 and counting in the 1st half vs Coastal Carolina. He's actually got some minor traces of Paul George and I'd even say Joe Johnson to his game..


I really hope he works himself into that 1st rd range near the Jazz picks.. He can be groomed to take over for Joe Johnson
 
what is the deal with PJ Dozier? 6-7 combo guard seems should be listed higher. Granted it doesnt look like he is super athletic and seems to play slow but late second rounder. He is shooting 41% from 3

I'ma big fan of PJ Dozier, have been for years. I used to post that I wanted UK to recruit him and that he's got some Alec Burks to his game. His 3pt shooting % last year was anomalous. He's also clearly gotten himself into better shape, he was a good bit skinnier last year. He's the son of a coach and plays like it.

He's certainly ranked way too low by DX in their sophomore rankings, BUT he had a fairly unique medical condition that could weigh on his stock.
Around the time Dozier turned 12 years old, he tore the ACL and MCL in his right knee. He went to a doctor, who repaired the MCL but decided to leave the ACL alone out of fear that it could stunt Dozier's growth, which probably would have had a negative effect on his budding basketball career.

Over the next few years, Dozier played through the injury while continuing to earn accolades from recruiting analysts who knew nothing about it.

"It was nothing ever too serious to stop playing," he said. "I would stop for a week or two and then come back and feel good as new."

Last summer(2013), he tweaked the knee again. After another visit to the doctor and a family meeting, the decision was made to put Dozier's basketball career on hold and proceed with the surgery.

The Douglas County District Attorney’s Office has dismissed a battery complaint against University of Kansas basketball player Carlton Bragg and filed battery charges against a woman who accused him of striking her.

Saleeha Soofi told police Bragg punched her and pushed her down the stairs in a stairwell last Friday. Police said Bragg told them he had been in an argument with Soofi but didn’t strike her.

Police said in a Friday afternoon interview with Soofi, she said she might have struck Bragg first. That admission led to her arrest that afternoon, police said.

Surveillance video discovered on Saturday showed a man and a woman arguing in a stairwell and shows the woman shoving the man, striking him and putting her hands on his neck. Police said the video shows the man pushing the woman away and into some upward-facing stairs only after he had been hit.

Police said the surveillance video led them to dismiss the battery charge against Bragg and pursue a battery case against Soofi.

"This has been a difficult and humiliating experience for me and I'm glad it's over," Bragg said in a statement issued through Kansas Athletics. "I appreciate the authorities taking the time to get this right. I also appreciate the support of my teammates and coaches, and I'm glad I can put this behind me and move forward."

Coach Bill Self had suspended Bragg during the investigation. Self lifted the suspension Wednesday and praised Bragg for the way he handled the situation.


"He knew all the facts and knew that he needed to refrain from comment while the investigation took place," Self said in a statement. "We're glad the situation is resolved."
 
6'11" Michigan So. born in Berlin, Moritz Wagner is a player I posted briefly about last season when there were rumblings he was their best pro prospect before he really even started to play.

He's 13/25 from 3 so far this year and putting up 11.2ppg in 18.9mpg!! definitely a player to keep an eye on moving forward.

Combo F D.J. Wilson is also a UM player to watch, possible 2nd rd pick.
 
I'm not an active twitter user, I mainly use it just to search for recent updates on things. This tweet from some random NBA fanatic that has some sort of statistical model for the draftee's had me laughing though.

I'll post my 4.0 mock within a few hours. Melton is going higher than you'll see anywhere else.. his teammate Chimezie Metu is debuting into the mock too.

First year I can remember saying this but for this mock in particular It'd be MUCH quicker/easier for me to do 3 rounds instead of 2.. This is a brutal process of elimination or I'd have had the update out a few days ago..
