Following 2016 potential draftees

Well Murray really proved his scoring prowess today. Other than him, this has to be UK's most underwhelming freshman class ever. Everyone else is playing below expectations and there is no way Ulis is a first round pick.
 
I would love for the jazz to give up a couple draft assets to get Murray. He can play with Dante. He can back up dante ( or dante can back him up ) and he brings to the table something dante doesnt a acorers mentality. Not to mention a killer instinct.

Murray is overrated. You yourself say you haven't seen any college ball.

No thanks to Murray (sorry PKM). Just don't see enough athleticism to carry him through to the next level. Not an elite shooter neither. Not quick. I really can't see what he could be elite at at the next level.
 
Youssoupha Fall might actually be one of those players a team would promise and try to hide.. The sell on him is quite obvious, He's 7'3" and can run, he's got a broad set of shoulders and he's more muscular than skinny, If he's really just 230lbs he's got plenty of room to add an easy 20lbs.. Looks pretty damn coordinated too, much more so than Peter John Ramos or Ha Seung-Jin... He's got massive hands and can snatch the ball out of the air at all sorts of funny angles with one hand, easily. His shooting form doesn't look half bad either..

I'd guess his standing reach is somewhere around 9'10"..

He's born in December '95 so he'll either be in this draft or auto-eligible next year. I'd gamble with one of the 2nd round picks on him, there's obviously considerable upside. He's a stash candidate too, so it's low risk.

If you want to watch him drop 33 in 26 minutes on 16/18 shooting in this game from early this year. check it out..

27 points in the 2nd half vs OSU, 7/9 from 3 says otherwise.

Murray is hands down the best guard in this draft.
 
Keita Bates-Diop should be on the radar in the 2nd round IMO. I'd take him over a bunch of these wings listed in the mocks in those spots. Hes' Trevor Ariza sized and similarly athletic, high bbiq, good hands, very long arms, he's a good shooter with plenty of potential to improve - he's an obvious 3 and D player, could end up a steal in the 2nd round. After that win vs Kentucky I'm sure he'll get featured a bit more..

Been hyping Bates-Diop since before his freshman year started, he commited to OSU a long time ago, he and D'Angelo Russell were the headliners of their class. No way could I take Alex Poythress over him, just re-watch that OSU loss and you'll see Diop dropped a very loud 14 points.
 
5'8" Khalil Felder of Oakland might be a better mini PG than Tyler Ulis. His stats are pretty insane across the board right now. He's probably closer to a Nate Robinsons style athelte than Ulis too. He can dunk ingame.

He dropped 38pts 9assists and 6 boards in an upset victory over Washington the other day.

He's averaging 26, 9 and 5 boards, 39% from 3 on over 6 attempts per game.
 
NBADRAFT.NET has us taking Payton using our own 2nd rounder which has me happy.

1st round pick has us taking Sabonis. I know nothing about him aside from looking over his stats. Wondering how good Hield will be in the NBA as he's been scoring with ease....
 
From what I've seen from Murray I think he'll be one of the PGs who can complement a very dangerous post up threat very well.
I also expect him to coexist good with other ball dominant players.

0 chance we get him and he isn't worth parting with any significant assets to trade up for.
