What's new

Following potential 2017 draftees...

How bout this random stat from ESPN's Stats and Information -

Villanova's Josh Hart is currently averaging 20.1 PPG, 3.7 APG and is shooting 56.6 percent from the field. The last player to average 20 PPG, 3 APG and shoot 55 percent in a season was Tim Duncan in 1996-97 (min. 10 games).

It should be noted that Frank Mason III of Kansas also meets those criteria this season.
 
The biggest Nova fan I know(who says they're gonna win the tourney every year) swears that Hart isn't improved from last year he just does a bit more with no more Arcidiacono, Ochefu and Phil Booth injured.

He says we'll see a similar 'step up' in play from Jalen Brunson next year, who he says can drop near 30 nightly right now if needed..

to say he hasn't improved is simply wrong. he not just doing more, he's doing it more efficiently - and it's not that close. either way, doesn't matter a lot. he was really good last year too.
 
Jaron Blossomgame, who DX has in the 1st rd and will be months away from turning 24 at the time of the draft, finally had a good game from 3..

He was shooting... wait for it... 12% from 3 on 3.1 attempts(3/25)... after 45% on 3.3attempts last season..

Vs South Carolina St. today he went 2/4 from deep, 29pts on 16fga's, 9 rebs 4 ast, 1 stl, 0 to's.
 
I will ****ing jump for joy if the Jazz draft Robert Williams..

I'm not totally sold on moving on from Favors. IF thats the plan though, a Lyles/Williams platoon would be pretty much be my handpicked solution (along with trading Favors to the highest bidder at the deadline next season, or if the team is really strong homecourt advantage bound, and he's a key cog - letting him ride it out and hit the market unrestricted)..


The Jazz did draft Bolomboy to do what he does, Williams is a vastly superior propsect though. A 2nd rd pick in the 50's shouldnt affect him making the cut whatsoever.


I really want to see him playing PF next to Rudy.. They'll block out the sun, I think they'd extend the painted area they protect because of how much ground they cover so quickly.


Once I heard he grew to 6'9" I knew he was gonna to blow up.. He's just one of those players that causes matchup nightmares and there's not much ya can do about it.

He is only taking 1.2 more shots per game, not like he is taking that many more shots.
 
The U18 European championship starts tomorrow..

Will be watching Lithuana's team closely with Arnoldas Kulboka and Tadas Sedekerskis

Musa and Amar Gegic for Bosnia

France has a loaded squad as per usual - Ntilikina, and the top rated 2000 born Euro recruit Sekou Doumboya, also their guards will be super athletic compared to most, Adam Mokoka and Abdoulaye N'doye(Who's now listed at 6'7")

Germany's team is LOADED - Isaiah Hartenstein(listed at 7') Kostja Mushidi, Oscar Da Silva, Philip Herkenhoff and Louis Olinde

Can't wait to see Borisa Simanic PF on Serbia, Ive also read that 6'7" SF Aleksa Radanov might be able to play some PG.

No Luka Doncic for Slovenia :(

Sergi Martinez on Spain

and 2000born Eray Akyuz for Turkey

are some of the players i'm looking out for. I'm picking France. they're gonna have an extreme size/athletic advantage on the perimeter..

He hit a 3 too

I watched 3 minutes of him playing, I saw he got the ball on a roll and went up super weak when he could have easily taken it to the rim hard. Is he recovering from an injury or just not athletic at all?
 
check this out, glad someone made these highlights!! This 4-star player is going from unlisted in my mocks to top-37 in the next release. Been posting about him here since recruitment.

Many of the 4-star players I was hyping are really out-performing those HS rankings......
