Original mizzou baseball pitcher signing.had some kind of injury that would limit his baseball career so he started focusing on bball solo this seaso. Big point guard. Athletic but not super athletic.If I had to compare him to someone it's Evan Turner. Same size and build and handles the ball greatly and is a fantastic passer.needs to improve midrange game since he will have trouble finishing at the rim at the next level. Dependable from 3 point land.. Solid 4 star recruit and I'm sure pgab will mention him in h is top 100 even though he never seen him play befpre . Played for a small school who got smashed by Simeon in semi finals. His tea!mate is a defensive lineman going to Iowa to play ��. NFL prospect. Other then Smith Edwardsville didn't have much talent and Smith carried them to Peoria

Mark Smith

Know anything about him?
UK reached out yesterday.

He looks to be built more like a Wayne Selden than a Evan Turner to me.. I'm not crazy about him, I like Dajon Davis better, he's got way more pep in his step.

Edmond Sumner is in this draft and hired an agent.. Same for Melo Trimble.. Jawun Evans is old news..

This doesn't add up to help Frank Mason's chances at getting drafted somewhere decent in the 2nd rd..

Trimble sucks. He'll go undrafted. I'd take Mason3 everyday over him.
 
Thoughts on Marcus Keene? I like him as a second round prospect. Despite being 5'9 he has an array of moves to get space. Very creative scorer and he's very efficient for the volume of shots he takes. The downsides are his defense and he needs to take care of the ball better. But I think his offense is worth a second round flier.

Good player. I'll always remember this play when I think of him;

He's a sparkplug no doubt. Ball is on a string too and a nice quick release.

I'd be surprised if he ends up better than Marcus Marshall tbh.. who's 6'3"


There's also Tyler Dorsey on Oregon if you're looking for a shoot off the bounce specialist.. He's 6'4" and just turned 21..

I would too actually. As it stands right now I don't think either get drafted. When Trimble declared there was coinciding 'reports' that some execs think he's going in the 2nd rd.. we'll see tho..

They were saying that during the McDs game. So dumb. No way he gets drafted.
 
Thoughts on Ivan Rabb? Sometimes I think he'll be fine because he's a good rebounder and that is supposed to translate. But then you watch him play defense and get bullied in the post, and it gets worse when he gets switched onto a guard...I think Kanter might slide his feet better than Rabb. Offense is raw too, but with a pick in the 20s, is a good rebounder and lob-catcher good enough with that kind of pick? I think he's the kind of player who will look a lot better with NBA talent too.
 
Melo Trimble did himself a great disservice not declaring after his FR. year, he's always been old for the class too, which compounds the error..

Ivan Rabb would be a steal. I've posted before that I just think, somehow, someway that kid is gonna find his niche. He's not Chris Bosh but he's really got a lot of the same qualities. I said it years ago and it still rings true, he reminds me of David Lee.

He's a winner and he's always been the PF and the C on all of his teams.. the last line of defense.. There's very much a possibility that he's gonna be on sale in this draft.. Certainly he'd have been a lotto pick last year..

Ivan Rabb is clearly and has been for quite some time, a big fish in a small pond... So if you're talking integrating him here in Utah, where we have Rudy the Leviathan and a 270lb PF/C Derrick Favors, it'll be very much like that big fish in a small pond finding the ocean, but he's also gonna join a school of fish with some grizzled veteran enforcers, which is perfect for him because he's sorta got a skinny-big type of game.. Much of this applies to Harry Giles and Utah as well..
 
[MENTION=430]Dr. Jones[/MENTION] is there a favorite between Mark Smith and Thomas Allen??

I'm sure Smith could function in that Briscoe type of role on the o-boards and with the rebounding on next years squad that'd probably be the best coach cal squad on the boards since 2012..

I know you've said you want more shooters.. well thats Allen.. I haven't seen too much footage on either, but Allen certainly reminds me of Eric Davis at Texas.

He's much more one-dimensional and certainly doesn't seem to have the same type of pro potential.. I say, bring on the firepower tho.. most of the other stuff is taken care of..
 
Just for the record. Mitchell Robinson is in fact a Hassan Whiteside style athlete at 7-foot..

He's gonna end up way out of the Jazz range. There's big changes in my next 2018 mock and he's gonna go near the top-5.
 
Interesting to see who Phil Jackson will pick with the Knicks pick (currently 6th).


Say what you will about Phil, he did get the Porzingis pick right.



Would he pair Fox with Porzingis? Or would he grab Monk and groom him as his new Kobe/MJ?

Word is they want (and need) Josh Jackson.
 
Makes sense they like Jackson. I remember when there was rumors they were going to take Winslow with the 4th pick.
 
Can't believe the Nets are gonna be another year without draft picks.



I thought you couldn't trade away picks from consecutive years?
 
He is undersized with short wingspan he more of a Lou Williams or the Microwave
