Following Potential 2018 Draftees

Robert Williams will be drafted higher too. Nowadays centers in the mold of Enes Kanter(haven't seen McCoy yet, but that's the impression I'm getting from what people say, is this wrong?) are not as valuable as they used to be. What teams are looking from their centers is defense-first, rim protection and rim rolls. Of course other things are nice to have but if you don't have the defense as a center you are almost unplayable against good offensive teams.

Yeah, I said Williams in the 4/5 tweener category.

Highly doubtful. There are at least 3 centers who are better prospects, really regardless of how good McCoy's stats look. He just doesn't have the athletic ability or extreme length of dudes like Ayton, Bamba, or Robinson and the 4/5 tweeners like Bagley, Williams, and Jackson Jr. are probably more desirable center prospects.

I see him going late lottery at the earliest with his style. He will be competing with guys like Mietu and Carter.

So sounds like an easy win for you. What are we betting?

He might be a realistic option, although he's been showing more than expected and he might jump on draft day to the top 6-7...

Knox is not far behind Marvin Bagley as a prospect, imo. Knox needs to shoot the ball better, but of course so does Bagley. If Knox starts scoring more consistently, then yes, he's up there. Bagley's obviously a better rebounder and defender.
 
I've always been cautious of Bagley. He needs to show that he has the basic skill set of a modern NBA 4, and so far he hasn't done that at Duke. Right now he looks like an undersized 5 at the NBA level.

Jaren Jackson is an interesting player. The hope is that he's the next Myles Turner. The fear is that he's the next Noah Vonleh. The reality is that he's likely something in between.
 
Doncic's play has cooled off, I wonder if his efficiency is dropping because his team is injured and opponents can funnel so much into stopping the young kid or if it's just a slump. He still tries to control the game, he's just making more mistakes in the process.

Considering his age it was inevitable that he would cool off.

Lmao. Yes he is behind Bagley. Bagley also graduated high school a year early. He is supposed to be a senior in HS still. NBA drafts off potential. I question anyone Bball Iq that thinks Bagley will fall out of the top 3. If anyone falls its Porter Jr because of back injury! Back injury is what made Larry Legend retire early. Karl Malone was a much better and dependable player then larr y Bird
 
Bagley isnt that good. Huge project. Doesnt have the insane length to give him teh upside he needs to be worth a top 3 pick. Not super high IQ, not super high awareness on defense. Is average at everything (besides shooting which is just bad at ) other than being athletic.
