What's new

Following potential 2013 draftees

Is Trey Burke a good enough athlete to make up for his lack of size? He is obviously very skilled, good shooter, great passer, great floor leader, great feel for the game. But he is still only 6' 180. Thats really small for someone who isnt an elite athlete.

I love the kid, but I don't see him being a big factor in the NBA. I do think he'll play, but not at an elite level. Has his shooting improved?

Seems like a solid shooter in the games Ive watched, not anything like Randy Freaking Foye, but a decent shooter nonetheless.
 
OT: Karl Towns

Just committed to UK. He is the current #1 prospect in the class of 2015 (2016 draft). He's looking to reclassify to 2014 ('15 draft class).

Kid is currently a sophomore in HS and just measured at 7 and a half feet w/o shoes and 7'5 wingspan. Still growing. Already has great post moves, uses either hand, range to 3... Not a great athlete, but very smart player. Will be very interesting watching this kid further develop for the next three years leading up to the draft.
 
This isn't real recent, but Karl Towns.

That kid has possibly the most awkward looking body I have ever seen I guess that is what happens when you are a 7 foot 16 year old.
 
To comment on the question above the video, no he is not the next Kevin Durant. Looks like a good get for UK, certainly more skilled than the players they've been hauling recently.

I like you, haha.

Agree on the Durant thing .. that's retarded.

I'm adopting Otto Porter as my candidate for who we should draft if possible.
 
I spoke with a couple people today who say Tony Mitchell's stock is very high right now among many NBA teams ... like top 5 strong.
