Ayton - 23 and 19
Bamba - 22, 15 and 8 blocks
Young - 39 and 14

the stars came out this weekend.
 
they said during the duke game yesterday that Bagley is the only 20 and 10 guy in college basketball. that's crazy. and as dominant as he's been i still don't know what to think of him as a NBA prospect. so weird.

That's wrong tho. Trae Young is 20/10 (actually he is 30/11)

Seriously when was the last time the draft had 6 players that are this good?
 
I hope no one minds that I keep posting about high school kids in this thread, but there, as always, are some guys who look pretty damn good coming out of high school.

I've posted a video of Tyler Herro before and here's another. Dude is the Klay Thompson of high school kids. He loves to be incredibly arrogant and feeds off the crowd and trash talk. Parts of me hates it and parts of me love it. @Dr. Jones what can you tell us about him since he's Kentucky bound? One and done or 4 year role player?


Lastly, Brandon McCoy out of UNLV is close to a 20 and 10 player. He's like 19 and 11. Some dude thinks he'll go in the 50s in next year's draft. Lol. Back on ignore. Trash.

There are a number of centers who are much better than him and limited number of teams who want to draft a center. He isn't that good. He is Tony Bradley without the elite length.

Miles Bridges put up 19pts and 21rebs today. One of his better games.

I really like the way hutchinson plays

I actually thought he was good enough to go in the 2nd rd last year. He was one of those players where I just really wanted to put him on the mock. Relative to what we've seen in past classes, I actually like this years seniors a lot.

Brandon McCoy is going to interview EXTREMELY well.. He actually reminds me of Derrick Favors personality wise.. He's laid back and genuinely a nice dude.
 
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander bruhs..... The PG's in this draft are way better than people were expecting, and again the Anfernee Simons thing really does push it to a whole nother level... Duval looked pretty damn good this weekend too tbh.



He killed it and led the comeback yesterday vs UGA too.. It's safe to say he's top-20 with major room to rise... I think he'd be a nice look at point next to Mitchell.. Especially with Exum back, the team would be crazy long -- Hood or Ingles probably the shortest wingspan in the whole rotation lol.


I watched Frank Ntilikina before he hit the league... It's undeniable there's some type of similar vibe with Shai, talkin similarities in key attributes.

He's not like uhh... the second coming of Devin Harris.... no way... this kid is more dynamic for sure. His floor is very high tbh..
 


This is some recent footage.. 2 weeks old

I don't give a damn where they have this kid in these mocks, and you shouldn't either, to put him 20th is basically a mulligan, it's not saying much.. there's no part of putting him 20th thats "sticking your neck out there" i don't care if he's in high school.......

He's got lottery talent... It's as simple as that.. I'll debate anyone on it.. the floor is all yours...

I was a big fan of D'Angelo Russell when he was the 15th ranked player in the nation before he ever landed at OSU too, u might think this comment is out of place, but it's actually quite relevant to this topic...

he's equipped to go flying up the board in Dame Lillard type fashion, and thats kinda the lens u wanna evaluate him thru... It only takes one team right? Well i'm convinced some team is gonna be smitten by Anfernee Simons..

I would really invite your most thorough nitpicking of any of his recent footage, you'll probably still conclude he looks like a first rd pick... You might find yourself thinking "Damn, I wish Ricky Rubio could do some of this stuff...."

Things could change but for right now he's definitely gonna stay at least a tier higher than Landry Shamet.

I get a lil PRIME Jason Terry vibe from him, and when I;m talking prime Jason Terry I mean his years in atlanta in his early 20's that many fans have forgotten..

I hope he declares and I wouldn't mind it if we draft him. He's just so smooth with his movement and handle and shot... Seems to settle a bit too much for jumpers though... Wish I would see more of his drive game.

BTW who's 41 from Montverde? Looks interesting.
