Following potential 2017 draftees...

Huerter is an interesting prospect, a gunslinger with some athletic ability. I like Cowan as well, better player than Trimble.

Cowan will be a key piece for them moving forward. They're trying to go after lots of big name recruits in the next few years and he'll be there to run point.

Huerter's got playmaking ability too, he and DiVichenzo are certified underrated gems. I'd take em both in the 2nd rd in 2017.

If the Jazz are looking for more American born white players those 2 look good.

26 - Zach Collins
30 - Lydon
40 - Drew Eubanks
46 - Kyle Guy
56 - Kevin Huerter
60 - Donte DiVichenzo

I guess there's some debate as to who TCU's best prospect is 6'11" Jr. Slovakian-born Vladamir Brodziansky who shoots 3's and blocks shots and 6'2" Fr. PG Jaylen Fisher, I'm taking Fisher though -- he's one of the PG's I'd take over Briscoe. He's very much like a younger version of TJ McConnell, kids tough as nails, very stout defensively 36% from 3 on 4.2 attempts per. Rich mans Aaron Craft. Sort of a Brevin Knight style PG.

had some key buckets down the stretch, he's a good college player. also threw the ugliest alley oop attempt I've seen in 2017 and I watch a lot of games.

I would take a flier on him with one of our second-round picks.
 
Zach Collins is really an excellent prospect, he's a very engaged defender, his motor seems to be really good.. Him, Markkanen, Bridges and Justin Patton are really the stories of the season as it relates to the lottery. Robert Williams has been great this season but his rise has plenty to do with to the fact that he's grown to 6'10"...
 
6'4" Fr. CG for Mississippi St. Tyson Carter has 16 at the half off the bench in a tie game vs South Carolina.

Sindarius Thornwell should be a player that sees NBA time next year even tho he probably wont get drafted. could drop another 40-piece in this game. 19 at the half.

If MSU can get Herard and Witherspoon going they should be able to pull this upset off.

PJ Dozier and Duane Notice combined for 1 point...
 
Quick question for those in the know. How is Fultz the consensus #1 pick this year? I just don't see the athleticism or the quickness of Kyrie, or Lillard or Wall or even Curry. What I see is a Jrue Holiday type. But is that worthy of THE #1 pick in a supposedly loaded draft class?


Sure he can score in College, but without elite athleticism or that quickness I don't think his scoring will translate.

He's athletic like James Harden, with similarly supreme hand-eye coordination. what you just posted is sort of like what people thought of Fultz when he was ranked in the 20's in HS not #1, those concerns are unfounded though. He's sorta like Jrue but a super rich mans version, Jrue was so much more raw offensively at this stage.

His 'saving grace' as a prospect if you will is the magic that goes on with the ball in his hands, I posted back when he was ranked lower in HS "This dude has the ball on a string". He doesn't have a blindingly quick 1st step but he's got a good one. The real magic is not his acceleration but its his ability to decelerate.. He's quite simply one of the best 6'4" guard you'll ever see at 'stopping on a dime', his ability to change speeds and directions is like water, if there's the slightest crack or seam in the defense he's gonna matriculate thru, and make it look almost effortless.. This is why there's Dwayne Wade comparisons(They're built similarly too)..

to me it's in the realm of amazing tho.. Fultz isn't just like very good, he's gonna be a gamechanger for some bad team... Like I said months back this years lottery is infact the "Markelle Fultz sweepstakes"

I'm still wearly of Giles falling all the way to the 20's.. Stranger things have happened.

A few more names to add to your list;

Ike Anigbogu
Felipe Dos Anjos
Anzejs Pasecniks
Tony Bradley
Chimizie Metu
Jonathan Motley
Cameron Oliver
Omer Yurtseven

I presume the Jazz would one of the more likely teams to gamble on Borisa Simanic as a stash candidate too.

6 more that are closer to the fringe than the top-25 IMO could be;
Drew Eubanks,
Donta Hall
Jessie Govan,
Bennie Boatwright
Kuzma
Isaac Haas

Is Jaylen Fisher the best albino basketball player on the planet? does anyone know of any others?
 
Any opinions here on John Egbunu? Dude is a monster it's appropriate that he was born on Halloween. He's built like Kwame Brown. Will turn 23 at the start of next season.

He's gonna get looks in the league for sure. Long wingspan and he's got some athleticism. I could see some team drafting him in the 50's for sure, he's worth a flier.

Scored 27 in a losing effort vs UK last season, limited offensive player, mostly dunks, but he's got immense strength to hold ground for o-boards..

55% FT shooter, he's no Vernon Macklin....
