Kulboka is PG_AB approved. The thing he does very well, better than most lets say 4-star SF's in American HS's is shoot off the dribble.

If u have a child who's trying to get better at basketball, having them focus /do drills practicing shooting after 1 dribble is one of the best directions u can point them in. There's a clip of James Harden and Eric Gordon swishing like 30 shots in a row pregame from like a week ago that demonstrates the basic > intermediate > expert > pro progression of how to practice.. Then u teach em the effectiveness of the larry bird head fake.. Especially girls if u can teach em this stuff early they'll be good enough to land a scholarship ez.


34.8% from 3 is several points above my expectations from Hamidou Diallo from 3 btw.

I really think people have gotten so greedy with these 3pt %'s they forget that 2/6 from 3 is just as good as 3/6 from 2...

Who knows tho a few good or bad games and that % will look a whole lot different. I like the confidence he's taking em with tho and his selection has been a bit better than I expected.

As long as he's over 33% it's proficient and a great sign of progress..

The ft% is not as promising..

Diallo is out of this world athletic tho, for sure, in that spot it's a good gamble..

Exum - Mitchell - Diallo is viable in my book...

BTW there's a Canadian kid who I hyped several times here over the years thats out-performing his 4-star rating bigtime.

O'Shea Brissett 6'9" F at Syracuse. He's a possible 1-and-done. He'd be a very nice fit in Utah IMO. I've followed him since he was shorter, he seems to be progressing towards a JaMychal Green style hyper-athletic 4-man. He passes the eye test with ease. Check this out.



He's playing 38 minutes a game as a freshman!!!

31% from 3 but he's taking 4 a game.. 10 rebounds per, 15ppg.. atrocious FG% but draws tons of fouls, gets tons of o-boards, super quick second jump.. long arms... you get the picture?????? he could work in Utah.. Immensly better prospect than Bolomboy


****He's an old freshman tho... will turn 20 the month before the draft..
 
Kouat Noi who i've mentioned here before is going off for TCU again.

I like this kid... looks like he can be a good 2nd rd pick.
 
Keita Bates-Diop might be a mid first guy. Crazy how long he is. Was posting, they were trying to front, but he makes such an easy target with his length, he caught everything. Can't believe he's the 6'7" he's listed at. Looks 6'9' easy. but maybe its the insane length.
