What's new

Following potential 2017 draftees...

had some key buckets down the stretch, he's a good college player. also threw the ugliest alley oop attempt I've seen in 2017 and I watch a lot of games.

I would take a flier on him with one of our second-round picks.
 
Zach Collins is really an excellent prospect, he's a very engaged defender, his motor seems to be really good.. Him, Markkanen, Bridges and Justin Patton are really the stories of the season as it relates to the lottery. Robert Williams has been great this season but his rise has plenty to do with to the fact that he's grown to 6'10"...
 
6'4" Fr. CG for Mississippi St. Tyson Carter has 16 at the half off the bench in a tie game vs South Carolina.

Sindarius Thornwell should be a player that sees NBA time next year even tho he probably wont get drafted. could drop another 40-piece in this game. 19 at the half.

If MSU can get Herard and Witherspoon going they should be able to pull this upset off.

PJ Dozier and Duane Notice combined for 1 point...
 
Quick question for those in the know. How is Fultz the consensus #1 pick this year? I just don't see the athleticism or the quickness of Kyrie, or Lillard or Wall or even Curry. What I see is a Jrue Holiday type. But is that worthy of THE #1 pick in a supposedly loaded draft class?


Sure he can score in College, but without elite athleticism or that quickness I don't think his scoring will translate.

He's athletic like James Harden, with similarly supreme hand-eye coordination. what you just posted is sort of like what people thought of Fultz when he was ranked in the 20's in HS not #1, those concerns are unfounded though. He's sorta like Jrue but a super rich mans version, Jrue was so much more raw offensively at this stage.

His 'saving grace' as a prospect if you will is the magic that goes on with the ball in his hands, I posted back when he was ranked lower in HS "This dude has the ball on a string". He doesn't have a blindingly quick 1st step but he's got a good one. The real magic is not his acceleration but its his ability to decelerate.. He's quite simply one of the best 6'4" guard you'll ever see at 'stopping on a dime', his ability to change speeds and directions is like water, if there's the slightest crack or seam in the defense he's gonna matriculate thru, and make it look almost effortless.. This is why there's Dwayne Wade comparisons(They're built similarly too)..

to me it's in the realm of amazing tho.. Fultz isn't just like very good, he's gonna be a gamechanger for some bad team... Like I said months back this years lottery is infact the "Markelle Fultz sweepstakes"
