Following 2016 potential draftees

Yeah, the ages are really staggered inside of these classes - for a wide range of reasons. Ingram's one of the few freshman thats younger than Sophomore, Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk.

Unless there's some international player on the radar born in December of 1997, Dragan Bender will likely be the youngest player in this draft.


The way people dismiss young players like Ingram after a few poor showings is kinda scary.


Poeltl's a beast, I still like my rich mans Robin Lopez comparison. I'd also say he looks like a better prospect than pre-draft Steven Adams at this point.

Unless Luka Doncic can get eligible. ;) He is playing important minutes in Euroleague game against Fener right now. He might be our PG of the future.

The Jazz won't be in range to draft Doncic. He won't be eligible to get drafted til 2018 anyways.. He;s 6'7" and sturdily built, you think he can play PG?
 
Levert isn't a world beater but a player to keep an eye on. Doesn't seem to have any weaknesses on offense can handle the ball, knock down shots, and hits the open man.

Tacko Fall is legitimately a really good project. I've seen plenty of these 7'6" sized players over the years, and I'm already sold, he's no Kenny George.. I've caught 3 UCF games this season and followed his story since before he was rated in the top100 by the scouting services. Turns difficult catches into spinning finishes, he's got good body control and awareness of where the ball and rim are on defense, he looks fairly natural already... Knowing what we do now about Hasheem Thabeet, I'd almost have to say Fall compares favorably.. I'd also say he's a better project than many of the giants(7'3"+) who've entered theNBA recently.

The Jazz would be well served promising to take him in the 2nd round IMO.. He's an obvious pro - so he can easily be stashed.. NBA teams are investing time and money into lesser giant prospects..


7'4" Jean Marc Christ Koumadje, Ben Simmons old HS teammate now a Freshman at FSU runs like the wind. Chasing down smaller players on the break typa speed. Worth keeping an eye on him too. He's rail thin and could use plenty of refinement.

There are a lot of busts with these type players as well.

I know I was kidding, but yes watching him today I believe he can play the point. I will put him in 2018 from now on though. :)

Yeah, who knows how they check out medically. Koumadje is like fast, fast though.. He runs llke a deer. I think was just a 3-star recruit too. He doesn't look like he's got foot or lower-body issues at all. he gets up to top speed in a step or 2 and covers ground effortlessly. I'd actually say he looks light on his feet.

Fall doesn't have that type of bounce in his step, he can move though, and when hes set up defensively he can move a bit in a crouched stance laterally, he's no stiff. Fall is just enormous too, legit 7'6", his wingspan's well over 8'. I'd say considering his size and age he's pretty damn advanced. I know he showed well at all the camps he was invited to this summer (vs top competition)
 
Why is Caris Levert projected #22 and Buddy Hield #43 for DX? Seems kind of off to me. Not denying LeVert might be that good, but Heild should be higher than 43.

Could be. On Real Madrid at 16 and getting important minutes in a Euroleague game says a lot. This was really important for Real Madrid and they are in real danger of not advancing to the top 16.
 
Speaking of Hezonja, when is that dude ever going to get playing time on the Magic's stacked wing rotation?
 
High School Basketball on ESPN right now. Would've been Harry Giles vs Jayson Tatum if Harry was healthy. Oak Hill is still whooping em.

Class of 2017, 4-star 6'2" PG Lindell Wiggington from Nova Scotia looks pretty good. He's got offers from Florida St., Tennessee, VA Tech and BC.
 
Wow this is some kinda comeback.. Jayson Tatum's on fire. Interestingly enough Matt Coleman has been ****ing up. Oak Hill woulda been better served letting Wiggington stay in attack mode. something like a 20-2 run to take the lead in the fourth..
 
Kentucky's in all sorts of trouble. Marcus Lee's out with some sort of head injury. 47-37 UCLA 16minutes to go.

Isaiah Briscoe is playing a hell of a game though. He's a beast and the only reason this didn't get out of striking distance to start the of the 2nd half, he definitely showed up to win this game.

Skal or Murray will need to get loose.


Very strong showing from Henry Welsh, been saying he was draftable. Expect him to gain hype off of this game for sure. He looks tall too. I'd say maybe 7'1", probably 7'0½"

Aaron Holiday has made some nice baskets. 5 turnovers though.
 
I'm overreacting to tonight's game, but I really like Caris Levert as an instant offense guy, kind of like Jamal Crawford before he started sucking this year. We need some more people on the team who won't shock me when a 3 pointer goes in. He's at 22 on DX's mock, but I think he'll shoot up as the year goes on, and he's young for a senior. Admittedly, I haven't looked closely at the prospects this year, just kind of rambling.
 
Gobert injures his knee the same day that Simmons goes off for 43 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists...

Hmm...
