Fultz is on his way to a triple double - 11pts 7 ast and 4 rebs at the half vs Washington St.
LOL I just realized Caleb Swanigan sorta looks like a younger KRS-One...
If Josh Jackson could shoot or was a bit longer I'd think he would be the consensus #1 pick.
Markelle Fultz is far and away the #1 player in this draft, it's really like beyond a matter of preference. He's #1 like Blake Griffin was #1 and like how Allen Iverson was #1.... It's his spot to lose - He's got a sizable lead on second place and isn't showing any signs of slowing down..
The lottery is the Fultz sweepstakes.. He's a complete player and his stats are legitimately better than anyone reasonable could've expected. Getting a steady dose of blocks and steals (had an awesome clutch block vs WSU the other night)
Jackson's length isn't any sort of issue. I prefer him at SG tho.. Josh Jackson is no Michael Porter Jr., for me to consider him at #1 I'd have to think of him that highly, and I certain;y do not, Porter, to me, is vastly superior. The real question here's - Is Washington going to have the #1 pick 2 years in a row??
Jackson's lead on PG's like Dennis Smith Jr and Ball is certainly diminishing too IMO.
Svi with the game-winner. What a heartbreaking loss for KSU that was really such a great effort collectively... He took 3 steps.... There were several bad calls in the favor of KU down the stretch in this one. Including 2 crap calls for KSU's strongest big to pick up his 4th and 5th fouls which changed the game, Lucas was able to keep them afloat dominating around the basket after that.
6'10" SF (42% from 3) Dean Wade showed extremely well for KSU he dropped 20 and was often defended by Jackson, I'm gonna keep tabs on him. Iwundu who DX has in the 2nd rd looked really good but he fumbled away an offensive rebound in a tied game with 3 seconds to go, to give KU the chance for the gamewinner. Also their PG was great and super clutch..
Type of game that reminds me I'd never wanna be a coach.. How can you address the team in the lockerroom after this with anything other than we got jobbed... Sportcenter better mention the travel when they run the highlights.. Clear as day..

Isaiah Briscoe is now up to 41% from 3 after shooting 46% from the FT stripe and 14% from 3 as a frosh.. He might make his debut in the 2017 mock next update..
