Following 2016 potential draftees

Mike Schmitz says Wade Baldwin is a top 10 player in this draft to those intrigued
 
When evaluating draft prospects, I probably overrate production, for good or bad. It's why I love guys like Zizic, Sabonis, Brice Johnson, Hield, etc.

That being said, while I may be hesitant to admit it, Cy has converted me to Damian Jones - just too productive, too big and too athletic. He's still not at the top, but I would wake up the morning after the draft and be happy with that pick.

Just wish he were a bit better on the boards and the FT% and lack of improvement in that area concerns me a bit, though his shooting stroke is solid.

He is really similar to Favors. Not as good obviously, but kind of like a Favors-lite.
 
Honestly, I think Baldwin, Bembry and Maker would all be successful in the league when we look back 3-4 years from now. I like their character and they just have the 'it' factor when I see them as draft prospects.

Hard for me to say a player has the "it" factor when they were so poor at finishing at the rim despite being on a really talented team and having elite length. I'm talking bout Baldwin.
 
I like Bembry. Think he's more Kent Bazemore than Kawhi Leonard. Good size and a good all around game. I wouldn't be upset if the Jazz traded up to get him. Don't want him at #12 though.

Interesting comparison in terms of height, but Bazemore has the wingspan on him. Pretty different games, and who knows if Bembry will ever develop his level of shotmaking.

Bombay is the better playmaker though, and his offence is more versatile if he can ever develop a consistent shot
 
Lol Damian Jones sucks.

21-year old who averaged 14 and 7 as a junior.

Nothing screams great prospect to me at all.
