What's new

Following potential 2017 draftees...

Alec Peters, who DX is staunch about being a 1st rder, definitely has some Kevin Love to his game, not the rebounding or passing but the faceup and back-to-the basket moves are similar. He looks like a 40% 3pt type too. He'd actually be an interesting replacement for Diaw, would much rather get him with the 1st 2nd rd pick than one of the 1sts tho.
 
DS4 salvaged a decent statline in that massacre at the hands of UNC. He started out with 3 turnovers 3 missed shots and 3 quick fouls tho. Game was over in the opening minutes.
 
Ivan Rabb just hit another 3... He's pretty much firing off a barrage of them in 2017 compared to 2016 so far in a very small sample size..
 
I really hope they promise De'Anthony Melton with the 1st 2nd rd pick and tell em they want him on one of those 4 year 5m guaranteed deals like Willy Hernangomezz. Then send him to the D-League for a season..


He's got lockdown defensive potential and he's averaging over a block per game as a 6'4" guard in under 27mpg..


The risk/reward just seems really really lopsided for that type of 4-year cheap deal.. You can't have enough players that are that kind of athletic and can defend as he does.. potentially a limited commodity..


If the Jazz can get the standard improvement we've seen over the first 1-2 seasons with players he'd be a homerun..


41% 3pt shooter, he's got combo skills great bounce and long arms. Damn good project. Demon in the passing lanes.
 
Melton's actually got one of those 5 x 5 AK-47 statlines going in this game;

vs Cal at the half - 4points 5 rebs 4 ast 3 stl 2 blk
 
Happ's a damn good college player with a chance at getting drafted in 2018 but he kinda gets too much hype. I assure you Wake Forest's John Collins is a much better prospect.

I had a feeling Collins was an NBA player watchign him last year as aFr. I was definitely posting about him here. No suprise to see he's blown up and is regarded in thefringe 1st rd range.

Tariq Owens is like Khem Birch but longer and with a better frame for adding weight. Doesn't have chicken legs. He really has the look of a pro..


St. Johns is one of the best shotblocking teams in the nation, think their 2nd in total. Owens and Yakwe are the main reasons why
