Following Potential 2018 Draftees

Sounds like Landry Shamet has played his last games in college. He's hiring an agent.

A major bombshell just went off for next years draft LOL... Syracuse basketball fans gotta be floored by this..
 
Incidentally, Troy Brown could develop into a player like Tyreke Evans. He has some of the same strengths and weaknesses of younger Tyreke, though he's not as shifty or explosive. Evans needed to become a better shooter before he was a viable wing.

I have Zhaire higher on my wishlist.
 
I think if Troy Brown hits his ceiling he's very similar to Khris Middleton... I'm not convinced he's a shooter.

Tyreke Evans also had one of the better rookie years in the past 10 years averaging 20.1ppg-5.8ast-5.3rebs... He isn't a good comparison for most players because he was very strong at that age with that sort of skillset.

Troy Brown is shifty though. He is very good in transition. He's got a good set of hands too. He's been a known commodity and posted about here for many years.
 
Tyreke was an awesome rookie, but he struggled for several years in his career. You can put the ball in his hands and have him play the point, but his PG skills were a bit limited. You can play him at the wing, but Tyreke wasn't a good 3-pt shooter. He's become a better shooter this year, especially from 3-pt range. Troy Brown is in a similar situation. He can play some with the ball in his hands, but his career will be dictated by his shooting, and if it doesn't come around, he'll be coming off the bench on any decent team. (He could put up some numbers potentially on a bad team.) Both are physical players, but Brown isn't the same athlete that Tyreke was early in his career. So those are the comparisons.
 
Tyreke was Tyreke because of his athleticism. It's just weird comparison. Tyreke was like a smaller version of Lebron physically.
 
I'm still waiting for Issac Bonga to come out of a German forest at 6'10" with a 7'2" wingspan, pulling cross-overs and drilling 3s. Wishful thinking, probably...
 
just to chime in on tyreke. the other teams don't have much cap space. the jazz have flexibility. Most NBA teams have barely any space left, and the ones who have enough are hunting for the PG13 caliber talents.

He's not a great fit.

Horford is a really good defender.

Yeah. Al Horford isn’t the problem for them. Honestly, I was really impressed by their young talent that they had on the floor. Rozier, Tatum, Brown and Yabusele all looked great for them. They’ve done well to build up a solid young bench. It’ll be interesting to see what they end up doing with Rozier, Smart and Morris. Don’t think they’re long-term options for them now that they’re maxed out on Irving, Horford and Hayward.
 
I think the fans of Isaac Bonga, and I'm one of them, would be best off waiting til next year to try and pluck a point-forward.

EJ Montgomery the top uncommitted senior is safer.
