Following Potential 2018 Draftees

Of course PGAB has some he mentioned first but let's not forget he mentions name after name. So it's not like he is hand picking. He just used websites as a cheat sheet.

Anybody else feeling Wendell Carter as the best player/prospect on Duke?

No, not really. It's not really possible to deny the impact that Bagley has on games. Maybe it boils down to athleticism and motor, but Bagley is a better prospect, both short and long term, imo. Carter's a lottery pick though.

Ehh, don't really see it with Bagley (don't hate him, but he looks more like a late lotto guy to me). Runs around with his hair on fire too much for my tastes, takes himself out of the play on defense. Short arms don't help him out. Not a big plus passer/shooter.
 
Bagley and Carter will both be good pros.

Colin Sexton has been slipping a bit in consensus mocks. This is from the SEC tourney.

 
Here's Killian Tillie in the WCC tournament. He's confident with the 3-pt shot, plays with effort on defense and has good mobility. He could be a borderline starter in the league, imo. His role might be similar to a Davis Bertans.

 
I really though what Michael Porter was incredibly selfish. He came back for the last game of the season and looked like trash while taking 17 shots. The only reason Missouri lost to Georgia, while having basically a home game during the SEC Tournament (its in Missouri), is because Porter came back.

Obviously there wasnt much risk for him. If he sucked he knew people would write it off as rust, but if he played a great game it could boost his stock. The thing is though, I'm not buying it was all "rust". The things he looked weak at are the things that were his weaknesses. The guy is overrated.

Adding to my draft hot takes: Both Bridges are better than Michael Porter.

Yeh, you can look at single game plus/minus and know everything.

I watched the game, he was bad and their best players didnt get as many shots/werent as aggressive as they usually are because they were trying to integrate Porter. Just because he played most of his minutes with Jontay, who played great, and boosted his +/- doesnt mean he wasnt trash.

Good thing I reread your post because I was all ready to get all over comparing Tillie to bertans. But you said role and I would agree with that.

Every time Tillie shoots you expect it to go in. He has a beautiful looking shot.

In the video against byu (a game I watched) here is what I saw

- Tillie can give up on plays on defense.
- his leg strength is awful and he can struggle fitting for position and rebounding because of it.
- his passing this game sucked but he was making the proper pass
- I wonder about his commitment a little
- he does rotate well and can challenge shots and has good length

I think he fits what the jazz want next to gobert.

Watched this game to see mpj and he was awful. I agree with the selfish take too. I would still draft him. I think some teams are going to regret not draft mikal bridges.

I'm not sure if he's really a starter at the next level, tbh. Could go either way.
