No Demin.
I hope he comes back to BYU to lol
 
Whoops, I totally forgot about Egor. He didn't fit in to any of my categories, lol.

I think I would put him at 16 for now.

He's such an odd player....I think it's pretty clear that he's not good enough to be a PG even at the high D1 level. His handle simply isn't good enough and basically every time I watch him it looks like he's drowning under too much ball handling responsibility. Having said that, I wonder what he might look like in a more appropriate role. I actually think he's a good athlete who plays really hard. Maybe he's in the Carter Bryant category of wings where he's promising, but needs to nail down a few skill developments to be a very useful player?

He has two low hanging fruits that would really raise his stock, but at the same time he looks very bad in those areas so there might not be a lot of hope. If he can improve his handle, I think he can be a primary ball handler with great passing and can also put pressure on the rim. If he can improve his shooting, he can be a useful wing with exceptional passing for the position.

Good post.
I think if we drafted him I would hope he could be a little bit better Joe Ingles. Which would be a pretty nice player. But as you said, he would need to improve his handle and shooting a bunch to get there.
 
I think we need to start adding players that make winning plays in addition to just overall talent and skill level. This is why I wanted Castle so much last year... this is why I'm a huge proponent for VJ(in addition to Flagg) this year. I just don't trust Ace. He looks like a taller version of Andrew Wiggins to me. And yes, there are versions of that archetype that might turn into something really good, but I'm just not sure I see the overall bball IQ, vision and motor to make it all work.
 
He's going to jump into the lotto. Once measurements and testing happen. The eye test says he's a monster and once you put numbers too it he will rise. Both Bryant and Flemming will go top 20. Not a lot of 3 and D types and I think they are both good bets.
yup. His motor will impress. And it will translate.

Ok, then you should probably address why you omitted Kasparas from your list this year.
