Go cut and paste it if u'd like, CTRL + X and then CTRL + V.. It can be done in a shorter time than it took you to complain.. The fact of the matter is no one on this site is making calls like that with Wigginton. I do it regularly and still get ****.


No ones saying anything here right now.. u act like I'm trying to de-rail some convo.. If someone has somethign to say, post it, I'm not interfering with that..
 
Here's the list of my favorite 4-star players in the HS class of 2017 now that rankings are being finalized.. guaranteed there's NBA players here. My accuracy with 'favorite 4-star players' is well documented in these threads.. Look no further than Robert Williams.
(4-stars according to Rivals)

3-star sleeper is DeAundre Ballard heading to Florida
 
Allonzo Trier won't be testing the draft waters this year. He's going back to school.


Not exactly good news for the Jazz he could've been picked.
 
Rawle Alkins would be a major steal in the 2nd rd for Utah. I'm sure he'd develop quite nicely here. He's definitely got 1st rd type of upside.

Elie Okobo has declared for the draft!! I had him in the mocks earlier in the season.

[MENTION=10]Crocodile Dante[/MENTION] Here's an interesting non-traditional PG prospect.

Ok color me intrigued. He could easily switch with a 6-8 wingspan. I wonder where he is mocked?

Izzo now has a hand in limiting Miles Bridges earning power for the benefit of his program. Coach Cal is above that, has been for a long time...

Coaching is about more than x's and o's

limited his earning power?lmao he is going be paid millions and make millions during his career. Calpri is a salesman and that's it. He cant coach for a lick. Coaching isn't all about x and o but player development. He develops player. All the players that get drafted under Calpri would of been drafted had they not gone to college in the first place. How did Calpri do with the Harrison twins and their "earning power"? They would of been lottery picks out of high schools and are either even in the league? Daniel Orton another one. Calpri is a sorry *** coach
 
Good job AB you have now officially hyped over 100 players in this class and when draft comes you will say I told you so. You just cast a wide net so ofcourse some will exceed expectations but then you will sit here and tell us how you were on so and so for so long. Not that hard to do when you hype 100 players up and only 60 draft picks exist.

Your points are always heavily steeped in narrative bias. The fact of the matter is UK has scouting failures like everyone else. They've got humans doing the job right? They're not infallible.

People prefer to pretend like UK scouting staff is infallible, it fits their personal biased preferences... they get best recruits, every time, it's failsafe, no matter the year, no matter any variables - Death, Taxes and UK getting the best recruits... So all the failures are on the coach.. which is complete nonsense. It's narrative bias, and SCAPEGOATING...

Over and over again people jump to conclusions and just run with it, without ever thinking about what hard evidence there is to support it. It's a natural function of the brain, literally everyone does it, to try and rationalize something you don't have a full grasp on.

It's the same premise as why you've never seen an "ET" but you probably associate them with the features seen in this image

Cal didn't limit the twins earning power. If anything he actually limited Devin Bookers by putting him on the bench.. it was a case of seniority, which they more than earned..

Coach Cal provided all they could've asked for, as far as minutes and role were concerned. Same treatment Isaiah Briscoe's gotten this past season. Briscoe and the twins limited their own earning power, Is Coach Cal at fault for dudes not being as good as they were advertised? obviously not.. The one thing he could've done better in the case of the Twins was have them cut weight going into the Fr year, ultimately that would've probably made very little difference.

Now Miles Bridges could go higher in next years draft than this years, is that really going to pay off for him long-term tho? This means you're getting rookie scale $$ in your 4th year instead of a potentially bid up RFA contract.. this is also completely reliant on him staying injury free..

Any one else rooting that Philly jumps the lakers at number #3 to get the #3 pick then the Lakers have to give the 6ers the #4 pick?

Screws the Lakers and it screws the Balls (pun intened).

The 76ers have been so bad for so long it would be nice to finally see them catch a break. Could you imagine them getting Josh Jackson and malik Monk

Monk, Bayless
Jackson, stauskas, luwawu
Covington, Anderson
Simmons, Saric
Embiid, Okafor

Monk can play the point because simmons is the one really running the offense.

I assure you everyone else is. You can't be a jazz fan if you don't hate the Lakers.

The best part is that if they lose their pick this year then they lose their 2019 pick as well.

Bwahahahahaha
 
Last weekend I got to meet D'Shawn Shwartz from ColoradoSPrings who is going to be a Buffalo. Kid is very humble I mnust say and his game is smooth. He can use both hands effectively which is rare to see at the high school level. Has a good jumpshot and some bounce in his legs. Also great midrange game which is rare to see at the high school level also. Could be a future pro in couple years.
Colorado also has a 16 year old from Sengegal who just verbaled to Georgia Tech. Assane Diouf. His game has come along way this year from the start of the year to the end of the year his game improved a ton. 7foot1 and only 16 meaning he could grow some more. The thing that impresses me the most about this kid is he is a good passer and has a great feel for the game he just started playing. Before he arrived in the states he had never played on a hardwood floor, with refs, or a shot clock. So the improvement he made is just amazing. Next year will be a big year for him.
