What's new

Following potential 2017 draftees...

Miles Bridges is a prospect to watch out for. He's been touted as the next Draymond.

is that what they are saying? he's not like Draymond at all, IMO. reminds me quite a bit of Carmelo - probably not as natural or skilled scorer, but more explosive athlete. don't seem him as a do it all type and defensive stalwart like Draymond.
 
Y'all know Caleb Swanigan was a 6'2" 360-lb 8th grader in a homeless shelter in Utah..? I wouldn't be surprised one bit if they take him in the 1st. I wouldn't necessarily compare him to Al, he's worked himself into marvelous shape, I'm fairly certain he takes his diet much more seriously than Al.

thats a pic of him before he got adopted. biological father was/is a crackhead iirc
 
What do you guys think of Dillon Brooks NBA chances? tough, athletic, can shoot the three - a little crazy. i'd be tempted to take him late first or second round. could have a Hood-like impact as a late first guy. like Hood, doesn't do much other than shoot/score, but he's really good at that. TS at 61% right now.

Also, John Collins is a machine.
 
Kansas got lucky that was an awful play design at the end by Scott Drew, seemed ignorant to the lateral quicks of KU's defenders, no reason to inbound the ball to a player heading in the opposite direction of the hoop with 8 seconds and an athletic disadvantage.... terribly wasteful. Tremendous showing from Josh Jackson despite just 16 points.

LaGerald Vick's one offensive rebound in this game was noteworthy imo. I really think he's underrated. He's clearly got the tools to be a starting NBA SG IMO... Better prospect than Tim Hardaway Jr, who I always vouched for here..


Donovann Mitchell with another stalwart effort for UL, he saved them from the upset. His emergence seems to be an underreported story too..

Cincinnati wing Jacob Evans with yet another solid all around stat line in victory.

Jalen Brunson seems to be really coming on lately for Nova too.. He's definitely better than Jawun Evans I don't give a damn what anyone has to say about that matter.

Doesn't Vick have some other concerns beyond basketball stuff that may have some people lowering their ranking of him? Not sure if I'm remembering correctly

2nd rd pick he's got t-rex arms and profiles as a career bench player.. if he had a 6'10"ws it's likely he wouldn't even be in college this year.

I like him tho, he's crafty in small spaces, natural scorer and has ice in his veins. I knew about him before he got to college and was mentioning him here as a Fr.

Allonzo Trier's better.
 
Do you guys know much about Frank Ntilikina? What's his appeal?

I've come to the conclusion that I've been incorrectly listing his position in my mocks. He's infact a pure combo guard and in my next mock thats what his position will change to.

It's been said (by me and many others) that he's a floor-general, and he can function in that capacity, his 3pt shot has progressed to the point where he might have much more of a Kentavious Caldwell-Pope element to his game than people are giving him credit for.

Sorry did you think he was a PG or an SG before? DX has him as a PG though right?

a PG that was big enough to defend the wing, thats what he plays in those fiba youth tournaments where he got tons of exposure. so it's kinda easy to see how the misconception came to pass, it's also because his shots improved.

He's alot like Spencer Dinwiddie positionally.. or PJ Dozier..
