Following 2016 potential draftees

This kid is a better prospect at the nba level then Ullis is.. Major athletic ability plus leading the country in points and assist.. By all reports his parents stress getting that degree so he will be back another year but this kid is going be a good one at the nba level... Strong body already for his height and can hit his head on the rim.. That's crazy for a guy maybe that is 5foot8

Murrary on last year's team instead of Harrison twins would have been National Championship. This is just the most underwhelming collection of talent UK has had in the Callipari era.

Without a doubt.

Ulis - Awesome, period.
Murray - One of the best offensive guys Cal has had.
Poy - Soft. Occasional good game.
Briscoe - good defender but very VERY limited offensively.
Willis - average at best on defense, cannot create his own shot, but is probably our 3rd best player, unbelievably.
Skal - soft as ****. Great stroke, but too many other deficiencies for it to matter.
Lee - LOVE the kid, but he's very average, at best, at basketball.

Rest are scrubs at this point.
 
Guys. The guy we need is Cheick Diallo. Look him up. If ever there's a superstar in this draft, it's him. He has that mentality and swagger to him.

That's not even remotely close to what we need.
A high motor athlete with almost zero offense.

Not this team.
 
I'm just curious, what is it about his 3.9pts, 2.7rbs, 0.8blks, and 1 assist-on-the-SEASON, screams out Jazz must-have?

Just to clarify - he has one assist this year, not per game.
 
I'm still kind of liking the idea of taking Diamond Stone if he falls that far. Sometimes, I look at him and I think "Wow, dude still has some baby fat on him." And then I see him run the floor and I'm blown away by his athleticism. There's times I watch his tape and I see a poor man's Derrick Favors. Also, I like that he trusts his shot - even though he doesn't use it much. He plays close to the rim and dunks with both hands. I like that.

I'd be perfectly happy taking Stone and then using Withey (if needed) as a trade chip to move up for a top prospect that falls (like Hood or Gobert.) Bench will be somewhat young, (even if they keep Booker and Jingles) but I'd like to see them add as much talent as possible. I'm no expert, but it sure seems like Stone should be higher than I've seen him thus far.

Monster game from Wade Baldwin IV and Vandy's 2 other big prospects tonight, in a 17 point beatdown of #8 Texas A&M.

17, 3, 8 assists and 1 turnover. 3/6 from 3.

Luke Kornet who's a 7'1" Junior PF went 4/6 from 3 with 9 boards 1 stl and 1 block. He had a triple double with blocks a few weeks back vs Auburn too 11-11-10.

Damian Jones with 13, 10 boards(5 offensive) and 5 blocks.

Thinking WBIV could be exactly what QS needs to complete his system. A 3+D type PG that could both push the tempo in transition & allow Hood/Hayward to take possession and run PnR with Gobert while standing by to launch corner 3’s. Samething Neto's been doing, but he is limited defensively. In hindsight, that's exactly the type of player QS is hoping Dante could turn into. The defense is there, but his shooting needs a lot of work
 
Stone is way different from Favors. He has post moves, Favors came into the league as a raw athlete...Way diffretn players

Chieck from Kansas has bust written all over him.. Only dominated high school since he was bigger then everyone. Doesn't have much offensive game. Sabonis is by far the better prospect at this moment.. Dude cant even start over Lucas at Kansas that should send alarms to people

Stone's shooting is much better than Favors at this stage. He's a near 80% FT shooter and probably has potential to be near 85%..

His weight isn't an issue at this point. Here's a pic from him in HS, he's trending in the right direction seriously..

Like I said, I'm a fan. I'd love a front court of Gobert, Favors, Stone and Lyles. Both Diamond and Trey are guys that look like they could really take off if they hit P3 like Hayward and Kanter did.

I'm not talking about where they were as prospects - I'm simply saying that when I watch him, I'm reminded of Derrick. I think there's a lot of work to get that Diamond polished (pun intended), but I see some major potential. I'm really surprised that he's not being talked about more in the mid-to-late lottery range.
 
State of Utah has some solid players in college this year. Big man from Utah, Mr.triple double at BYU, and I like the Moore kid from Aggies... Anyone else I am forgetting?
