Updated the PG list.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U18Bu96ZoO4 footage is probably 2 years old. 6'3" lefty PG from Senegal, he was living in France before HS in Florida.Now at New Mexico st., I'm guessing he had some transcript issues..

Interesting upside. Worth keeping track of for sure.
 
Forgot incoming Oklahoma St. freshman, Juwan Evans(tier 3 of the PG list). He's close to Trey Burke dimensions and probably faster/quicker. He's a pretty fierce defender too.

Ranked 32nd in the class by scout (PG #7) Evans isn't really a good shooter, he's not dreadful though and he's pass first.


It probably isn't in Evans best interests to go 1-and-done and fall to the 2nd round. I think he could be on the Jazz radar in the 2nd round if that happened.

To bad he was not able to play in the FIBA tournament this summer. Damn shoe dispute.

A legit 7'er too. On his right is Vitor Faverani who was listed at 6'11" by the Celtics.

Was prepared to write about Kentucky's new PED program.
Then I checked out the pics and wasn't impressed anymore.

Sam Vecenie has posted his early pre-season big board:

Dunn is pretty high I think, but who knows... he might be the best PG in this class and if a team needs a PG early in the draft, he might indeed go that high.

This list is close to being good(I guess).. I take issue with where some of the international players are ranked. Egemen Guven's way too high, and Ivica Zubac's way too low those are my biggest gripes. Zubac at worst, is a top tier 2nd round pick.

Here's a few other things that caught my eye.

-Ingram at #6 is way too low IMO.

-I like Poythress a lot, I couldn't put him over Guerschon Yabusele at this point though. Not if their playing PF. Similarly sized, Yabusele is over 2 years younger, he's probably got better ball skills and his jumper is pretty good. Will be interesting to see how he measures out, If its close to Montrezl Harrell I could see someone using a 1st round pick on him.

- Lauri Markannen (#76) has no business on this list. He'd be much higher but he won't be in this draft. There'd be a 0% chance he'd go undrafted if he declared this year.

- Once you get past the top-20 players, the list of remaining C's is really pretty far off. Brimah, Tarcewzki, Wang Zhelin, AJ Hammons, Rico Gathers, Shawn Long are all overrated, I hate to call out Cameron Ridley for being overrated in the 120's but that's what I'm doing. I'd gamble on 7'6" Mamadou N'Diaye before some of those names.

- Can't have so many overrated C's without having underrated ones: Georgios Papagiannis #92, Anzejs Pasecniks #108, Emircan Kosut #121, Ante Zizic #97, Isaac Haas #128, Dusan Ristic #140

- Edin Atic #117 is criminally underrated. Wade Baldwin #136 too, he's a considerably better PG prospect than Frank Mason #116 (and Gary Payton II #74)

- Aleksa Ilic at #126 is questionable, I haven't seen enough of him to have a strong feeling on this, enough to mention it though. I suspect this is too low. He's very, very athletic much more so than the other players in tier 8.

- Damion Lee #137 is too low, even though he will almost be 24 by the draft, I guess this is nitpicking, I just don't think he should be that far outside of the top-100.

-Jonah Bolden #116 is way too low, especially if he's 6'10" as listed.

- Isaia Coordiner #94 is at least 1 tier too low.

- Georges Niang #78 over Paul Zipser #82 is crazy-talk. I tried to tell Jazzfanz last year that Zipser was draftable.. After this eurobasket he's now 37th on DX's 2016 mock.

- Even though WCS absolutely posterized him last year, Devin Robinson at #63 is just too low, he's closer to a 1st rounder than a bottom of the 2nd round player.

- I like that he put James Blackmon at #49. With the premium there is for 3pt shooters, that's probably spot on. Same for Vasillis Charlampopolous at #23.

- Ivan Rabb, Dwayne Bacon and Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk are all underrated at #25, #32 and #34 respectively. #65 is too low for Theo Pinson too.

- Yogi Farrell #38... are you kidding me?!

First practice report. Warning: full homer.

Trey Lyles was kind of my 'favorite' Wildcat last year. Obviously KAT was the best of them, with Trey I couldn't help but be a bit biased though and was quick to admit it.

This year, I'm pretty sure that player is Mychal Mulder. I can't quite put my finger on it. He's obviously a big fish from a small pond - I just have a good feeling about his combination of skill/athleticism/size and I'll be watching his minutes closely.

I presume his match-up's will have a more difficult time adjusting to him, than he will adjusting to NCAA division 1 basketball.
