Following Potential 2018 Draftees

I still like Mikal Bridges. If the Jazz go with just enough of a tank job to get into the top 10 and land him. . . I can live with that.

Then try to trade up for Anfernee Simons or Rui Hachimura or Rodions Kurucs and stock up on wings heading into the offseason.
 
Anyone watched Ajdin Penava of Marshall?

No idea who he is, but his stats are crazy this year. 20-10-4 on 40% 3pt shooting, and the 4 is bocks per game.

He nearly had a triple double w/ blocks against Ohio w/ 33-15-9. He plays for D'Antoni's brother, so they probably play an uptempo system conducive to stats and there are no highlights videos of him on youtube so I really have no idea how he looks on the court.

I watched a little bit of the Marshall/Xavier game last night and yeah, they really run and gun. Couldn't stop Xavier while i was watching, but they push the ball and jack it up. Had no idea the coach was D'Antoni's brother. Lol. Didn't notice the guy you mentioned but didn't know to look for him and only watched for about 5 minutes of game time.
 
Bamba hasn't looked spectacular (shooting is a lot worse than I'd hoped), but he certainly hasn't looked bad. Been very very good on defense JJJ is the only other prospect on his level defensively.

Okay, so this dude. He's leading the nation in blocked shots. I'm wondering if he's an AK type who can shoot it. 6'9", 210 skinny dude and is a 20 year old junior. didn't do anything his frosh and soph seasons and has absolutely burst on to the scene this season. he's second in the country to Trae Young in PER. they haven't exactly played the toughest schedule ever, but the two bigger name teams they've played - Xavier and Illinois, he played well in both.

I've recorded his game against Xavier from last night when he went for 25 and 9 with two blocks. will try to watch tonight.

Sounds exactly like the kind of guy that 2nd round picks are good for.

I was tweeting with a Marshall fan and he seemed to think it was a very outside chance. Seemed like his problem is not enough foot quickness to guard on the perimeter and too skinny to be a 5.
