Following potential 2017 draftees...

Admittedly, I've never seen the kid play but his stats, despite having a killer body and all this athleticism and explosiveness of which pgab speaks, have to be very concerning.

14.0 points per 40. Awful.
56.4% from floor. Meh.
53.5% from line. Awful.
12.4 rebounds per 40. Okay.
0.6 assists per 40. Awful.

All of that is underwhelming for me for a kid who is that great of a specimen and likely won't develop much more physically. I don't expect killer stats but he should stand out more in some way, especially considering the pace at which UCLA plays.

He's not that good. He's got potential tho. James Banks 4-star Freshman for Texas who I mention often also 6'11 with a 7'6" wingspan has more upside for sure.

But that's thing he's gonna be playing pros every night in the NBA.

pro's that on an average night aren't going to be as quick as Fox and Monk..

He's gonna be fine. There's a case to be made for him as the most NBA ready prospect in the draft. He's super safe. He just doesn't matchup with De'Aaron Fox or John Wall or Russell Westbrook well.. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Schroder can give him some issues.

always gotta remember the concept of the big fish in a small pond.. some of these dudes like Lonzo aren't used to playing against someone who can blow by them like fox, **** just doesn't happen, ultimately u can't kill them for it, unless it's really glaring, and in this case it's not.

Okay, my take on Ball.

He's damn skilled. And he will be an elite pro player.

My beef with him in yesterday's game was, imo, lack of care.
His body language was very telling. He didn't truly want it.
I kept thinking he looked like a kid that daddy made to feel entitled.

That may not be fair.. but it was my takeaway.

What did you read into the Fultz tweet.

WTF did you guys watch? What exactly did Anigbogu show yesterday that makes you rank him higher than Adebayo? 0 pts, 2rbs, 0 ast, 1st, 0blks, 2 TO. What game did you watch? I didn't even notice him on the court. This wasn't close to a good game for Adebayo but he didn't spin out of control, he played within himself and when he saw things are not going well for him individually, he started distributing the ball from the post and got 5 assists out of it. Even Fox and Callipari said after the game that in other games they run things for Adebayo, for Monk, etc. but this time they decided to ride the hot hand(Fox).

Exactly. And in the game yesterday, he had 2 rebs in 15 minutes. Don't think he scored.

Its pgab overselling yet another prospect. Move on.

He thinks he's #1.. but I actually would go as far as saying it's more about what he would do with that frontcourt and those wing players..

They win championship and probably beat everyone down in the process.. That team can hang with Kansas and UNC..

I would take Ball #1 overall. Having said that, i agree about him looking like here didn't care. Just kept waiting for him to be aggressive, to act like he couldn't accept a potential loss.

The opposite, is Fox. They're have been games this year where it seems he has 5 points in the first 35 minutes, then gets 15 in the last 5. Dude is an alpha and is competitive as hell.

No idea.
Was just making an observation that he seemed emotionally disengaged.. and seemed too okay with getting beaten.
