Following potential 2017 draftees...

LaGerald Vick is good enough to be selected in the 1st rd with that Warriors pick.. He reminds me of Tim Hardaway Jr but better, definitely slightly more athletic and better defensive potential..

He's saving Kansas' asses right now.. I know people wont like him here for his baggage, Vick is seriously a very good prospect tho. I think he's got a chance to be a starter..

Kristian Doolittle who I've brought up here before is thoroughly outplaying Josh Jackson who's up to 7 turnovers with 7minutes to go..

I'm on team Motley. Perfect successor to Favors (for where we are going to be picking at least).

He doesn't get enough respect here for sure. I liked him last year in the 2nd rd. Now I could see him going 30th tho.. I could easily be talked into taking him over Swanigan.. Cameron Oliver also deserves mention.

Motley's an exceptional athlete, exceptional motor, runs the floor like the wind. Lots to like. I much prefer him to a Montrezl Harrell. He's NBA ready too IMO.

and obviously DLinds knows all about him.. I also think he could be one of those types that to some could appear near his peak but is really a hard-worker who will keep improving steadily, which is key when drafting in the 1st IMO.


He kinda reminds me of Iman Shumpert I know it's off positionally but there's something to that comp..

The Kyle Guy detractors in this thread are awfully quiet after 10 3pt makes in the last 2 games and leading the charge in an upset of UNC. He's now shooting over 50% on the season from deep.

That's a drastic change from him getting 5 mins a game a few weeks ago. Good for him.

LaGerald Vick would be better off going back to school. He would go undrafted if he declares. DX has him ranked #57 out of the sophomores alone. 7.2 PPG in 24 MPG is pretty bad. Plus he weighs 175 lbs while being 6'5. Pretty bad prospect if you ask me. Have no idea where you get first-round pick out of him.

Brooklyn seems like the type of team who'd take Motley in the 1st and start him.. For some reason thats where I think he lands

Doolittle finished with 12 and 5 and Jackson had a double-double. I understand the turnovers but he hardly outplayed him at all.

Did you reach that conclusion after watching the game or looking at the boxscore?

I've seen many Josh Jackson games (first brought him up here years ago) and this was a particularly underwhelming effort to me. Doolittle was going right at him.

I watched the game. To say he thoroughly outplayed him is a major reach. Still wondering how you can call Vick a seriously good prospect.. like at all.

One of my favorite up and coming prospects is Jalek Felton out of South Carolina. He is currently ranked #24 for the class of 2017 but I think he can outplay that. He's already committed to UNC where his uncle Raymond Felton played.

Here is a video of him playing against the #5 ranked prospect Mo Bamba's team in late December of last year putting up 39 points and shooting 7-9 from three.

I just barely started to look at this years projected prospects so I don't have the same amount of knowledge about these guys yet that you guys do. But watching some videos I came across this intriguing late first/early second round prospect and was wondering what you guys think about him

Can you imagine him next to Rudy? Poor offenses lol.

Really like the Harrell comparison for Motley. Motley is like a rich man's version though. Longer and more skilled offensively. Such an explosive athlete. Always impressed with Motley.

He's one of those players than no one here should really complain about if he's selected in the 1st and if you get him in the 2nd it's potentially great value. Also a legit stash target.

U should check out Borisa Simanic too. He's a stash target for sure but very young and gifted.

Does anyone remember if Motley was listed at 6'8" anywhere last year?? I know it damn sure wasn't the 6'10" Baylors got him at now.. I remember making a post about how I thought he was obviously taller than the # listed.

Pretty much the same deal with Robert Williams except he's 19 and Motley is older than Lyles/Exum and turns 22 in a few months.

He thoroughly outplayed him for the majority of the game. It's not up for debate, that's what happened. Enough with the alternative facts - what your posting is misleading and blatantly lacks perspective.

Doolittle played a great ****ing game by any realistic measure and yet here you are posting negatively about him. This is a microcosm of your contributions here. you deserve to get called out over it.

I feel like a bunch of members on this site were scammed by some televangelist like Peter Popoff and are trying to exact their revenge by trying to dupe random people on the internet into believing erroneous statements disguised as opinions and half-truths..

Like I said he might end up a starter in the league, I really think he's gonna stick even if it doesn't all workout.. I don't think Ben McLemore was much more talented... I kinda question how much more talented OJ Mayo was too..

People here mostly preferred Reggie Bullock to Tim Hardaway Jr. I sense a similar if not even more extreme oversight when it comes to Vick as it was with Hardaway Jr. Lettuce not forget SG is the scarcest of the positions.. He's certainly got a ton of potential on both sides of the ball..

Wait til you see Jalen Suggs. you're gonna be floored. Felton seems appropriately rated IMO, the game you posted help him regain 5-star status with many services.

I have lots of questions about the whole crop of PG's in the HS class. It's a tricky group for sure. For now I prefer players like Jaylen Hands, Trae Young, Shai Alexander, Lindell Wigginton, Tremont Waters, Nick Weatherspoon and there's a long list of PG's/CG's I wouldn't be surprised if they turned out better such as Quade Green, Davion Mitchell, Isaiah Washington, Matt Coleman and Makai Ashton-Langford, **** even Trent Frazier who's an absolute glass-cannon type of offensive player.
 
Speaking of glass cannon offensive players word is the nations leading scorer (by a wide margin) Marcus Keene could be grad-xferring to Duke or Michigan for his final year of eligibility. If you haven't seen him play check this out, he's a deadly shooter off the dribble even better than that midget from Oakland who the Cavs drafted..
