Just read an interesting article on Mikal Bridges (can't connect it because I am at work) but they compare Mikal Bridges to Otto Porter and I think that was a spot on comparison. Great 3 point shooter that plays great defense

I remember Otto Porter being kind of creative off the dribble in college. More than Bridges imo. I also remember being kind of leary of Otto Porters athleticism, which i am not concerned about with Bridges.

If Simons can translate his shot to the NBA, then I think he’ll be really good. Usually guys HS tapes show dunks and layups - evidence of them being superior athletes. I love it when the tape shows them shooting it from all over the court. Those are guys worth keeping an eye on.

Im a Simons guy too. Hes pretty spindly and it will prolly take his entire rookie contract before he becomes a contributor tho lol
 
Watched Bamba put up 22, 15 and 8 blks against Kansas - after a 17, 11 and 6 block performance vs Alabama. He appears to be getting it in terms of having an impact on both ends of the floor. 2 or 3 of his blocks were balls that only Rudy, maybe Deandre Jordan get to. I still don't like how weak he is, but he has some legit offensive potential - hit a three and looked pretty good doing it. I don't know where i'd slot him in terms of draft, but it would be tough to pass on that potential at around #5.
 
the HS freshman right now are INSANE..... This seems like it could be the best crop I've ever seen....



There's gonna be a noticeable step-up in talent int he 2020's mark my words... The forwards in particular flashing tons of skill very early. This kid looks like a future lottery pick ez, he looks better than Noah Vonleh at the same age easy.

I've talked some about kids from Wisconsin, the big one was Henry Ellenson and Diamond Stone in the same draft, Kevon Looney too. From a quick google search it appears that Michael Finley is the GOAT player from Wisconsin -- this kid might have a chance to take the title, thats how I feel..

Trae Young plays today vs a tough TCU squad. Should be a good game. ESPN2.

The kid he's gotta go up against is Jaylen Fisher (can't miss him, he's albino) is tough as nails and one of the best on-ball defenders in the nation at PG for sure, and he's stronger than Trae. This is a primo matchup... Fisher is a lot like Ohio State's Aaron Craft, but IMO, will be better.
 
If you're gonna be watching this OU-TCU game (there's so many good games ontoday it's tough to choose) definitely keep an eye on 6'7" freshman Kouat Noi on TCU who's off to a very good start already. He's shooting 45% from 3... He's an Aussie, so u don't really need to look much further than that as to why he's sorta been overlooked.
 
What a terrible finish at that Wake forest - UNC game... Jeez I'm not even gonna address it further. Perhaps it won't be this year, but next year for sure, Oliver Sarr, and his resemblance to Rudy will become a hot topic here, that kid is extremely agile and coordinated and FAST, for someone that height/age.


I know y'all saw me post MJ Walkers name many times over, he's got a quick 10 points in the first half vs Duke... could be a bit of a coming out party if they pull this off... it's chippy in the first half too..

Trevon Duval has pretty much a dwight howard set of shoulders relative to his height, as he ages he's gonna look super top-heavy... I'd say this is Duke's most in-shape freshman class.

Well, Noah Vonleh sucks so...
 
This FSU-Duke 2nd half is about to be lit.... Dude dropped 21 in the first half and banked in 2 threes, not sure If I've ever seen that before...

Duke is winning the rebounding battle- FSU had 0 blocks in the first half, Terrance Mann had 0 points and still they were up 4 at the break.
 
Trae Young is effing good at basketball.

He needs to be on the Jazz.
