Following Potential 2018 Draftees

He's not just an athlete like Gerald Green. He's got some IQ and feel for the game that are very advanced. He's very close to being an Andre Iguodala-caliber prospect, imo

YEah If u really watch him he's got immense potential to really put up steals and blocks, due to that burst and anticipation... Thats one of the first things I posted/noticed about him.

Reminds me, in some aspects, of LaVine

I'm not convinced Jontay Porter is a top-20 pick yet, but he looks like he could be a legit stretch big who can play some minutes at the 5. His mobility isn't great, but it should be enough to guard in space without getting killed. His rebounds are okay for a big that plays away from the rim. He should be able to improve his athleticism. He's got a compact lefty stroke on his jumper that looks consistent. He's shooting around 35% from 3pt right now with a 77% FT%.

Seems like he'd replace a lot of what Trey Lyles was supposed to give us.

He is a 5. Not a 4 at all.

Maybe Jontay will be the Marc to Michael's pau?

This is actually a damn good post. This speaks to the quality of the field, thats really what you should deduce from this.. He is low upside, thats why.


Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk much better prospect.

Except in probably (IMHO) one the most important qualities - Desire. Svi has none
 
Jontay Porter is a PF/C but he's not like how Favors is a PF/C and performs admirably vs starting C's. Jontay will be ok at the 5 vs backups, he'll get eaten up vs the leagues better C's.

This whole thing where people go "oh everyone plays smallball now" lets put these dudes with 7-foot wingspans at C, it's ****ing stupid and short-sighted and for people to drop Marvin Bagley to the 7th spots in their drafts and then claim he's gonna play C in the NBA with his 7-foot wingspan -- it's all just fantastical to me..

there was all this talk about Julius Randle maybe having a 6'11" wingspan, turned out to be 7-foot, now these fools just a few years later are trying to peg a bunch of PF types with similar wingspans as C's, the game is evolving -- not that fast tho. pump ya breaks kid.
 
Major slate of action today and it gets busy real quick... I'ma put y'all on the spot. someone respond if they want me to flood messages bout todays action, if I get no bites, so be it.
 
Jalen Hudson is scorching hot vs UK right now.

I think he's better than Pat Connaughton. He would be an excellent pick for Utah in the 2nd rd IMO.

Shai is showing well in this beatdown.

This is a heavy stone to cast... How did you reach this conclusion?

I was pimping Svi when he was 16 years old. He was so talented but he has not been able to live up to his talent. That is one of the first things that screams desire. the other is watching him on games. He just coasts way to much. He doesn't seem engaged and hangs out way to much around the 3 point line
