Following potential 2017 draftees...

A HS c/o 2017 sleeper from Slovokia? Vanderbilt has been there to see him, Georgia Tech, Syracuse and Florida are interested too. 6'9" wing with guard skills.

[MENTION=430]Dr. Jones[/MENTION] any reason to believe he isn't headed to KU to shoot the lights out with Malik Newman next season??

(I still kinda hope Newman declares for this draft btw)

Good fit for Orlando, they desperately need more offense.. Not ideal to put next to Isaiah Thomas so not Boston. Phx could work, it depends, they're backlogged in the backcourt currently.

I think as well that the spacing he'd provide for Orlando could work and Payton is tall enough to defend a lot of 2s.
Same applies for Phoenix, if they trade away Bledsoe(fingers crossed that he finally has a season without a part of his meniscus getting removed)
Don't think he makes sense for New Orleans and the Wolves.
Perfect fit for the Bucks.
The Knicks, Mavs and Sacto have no young talent in their backcourt whatsoever, so everything makes sense for them.
With the Celtics, I think if the Nets pick gives em Fultz, they should just trade everything away for future picks. I don't see how Thomas can ever be part of a good playoff team without a rim protection behemoth cleaning up for him. Horford is good, but he can't compensate Thomas's defensive deficits. They just had too many weird selections in the past years. Backcourt of Thomas, Smart, Bradley, Crowder and Brown is weird.

Interested to see how that works out. OU might have been a legit spot for him now that I've gotten a chance to see them play a bunch of games, they've got a few pro prospects, Christian James looks like a sleeper to me.. I can't help but wonder how it would've played out at UW or UK too..


The underclassman PG's in college next year will be a very interesting storyline, many are anticipating the 4* Sophomores will outperform many of the top ranked freshman (obviously not including Duval).
 
Hey do you guys remember a player Cy was praising a couple of years ago? He's like a PF, I don't remember from what school, I thought it was Indiana but could be wrong (uniform had white/red IIRC), he had an African name, similar to Onuoku, or something Seemed like a versatile player, can rebound, score.


I brought it up cos I thought he was going to declare for a draft but then decided to stay 1 more year, and then I hadn't heard about him since.


Anyone know who he might be?

Malik Monk (and Aaron Holiday in the 2nd) is definitely a jackpot scenario for the Knicks, I'm conviced he'd be a catalyst for a big uptick in the teams play..

If somehow they land Monk they should look to sign Jrue Holiday to run point.. That's how I'd look to turn them around quickly.. The defense is so ****ing broken its not a 1 year fix so just upgrade the offense and roll with the punches.

Monk would provide the NY media with ample smoke to blow up the asses of knicks fans, he'd be a big deal here for sure and forever linked with Porzingis.

I have 0 trust in the Knicks organization. But I am more interested at what spot you wanna draft Monk. DX has him at 9, which seems a bit low considering how good he's at shooting.

Chinanu Onuaku, was a Sophomore for Louisville (red jersey's) last year and got drafted 37th in 2016 to the Rockets. Not sure if Cy was a fan tho.
