Following 2016 potential draftees
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
Literally the youngest player in the country (NCAA BB) is Humphries.
Feel really bad for him. Played a very good game against TAMU and we had the game in the bag in OT to lock up the SEC race.
Up 2, WITH THE BALL, only 2 seconds remaining.. he excitedly slams the ball down (spikes it), gets hit with a tech, gives away two shots and possession. We lose.
He said he was sorry a million times in the locker room and the players rallied around him. I suspect a big game from him next up.

Saw that. Guess the rulebook for NCAA basketball is as stupid as the NCAA itself. Fitting.

I think it would be a prudent move for the Jazz to draft him tbh.
Yes I mean the hypocrisy of the organization.
I mean what the player did was done when the ball was dead. It was neither taunting, nor expressing frustration at officials. That pounding the ball very hard automatically results in a T by the rulebook seems stupid and inconsequential, as it also includes outbursts of joy or anger about a missed +1 opportunity.

Kentucky finally lets one of their white guys take some time off from riding the pine and look what happens.

I like Ulis, but have concerns about his ability to defend in the NBA. I'd love him as a 2nd round pick. Think he's a guy who could fill Trey Burke's bench role well once Exum returns healthy.
He's an incredible leader, doesn't turn the ball over, shoots it well, but is very small. I think he will go mid-2nd round.. maybe late. I'd take him around 45 and take the chance. At the worst you've got a fantastic practice guy, 3rd string PG, that will be an extension of the head coach every second of the day.
He was national player of the week last week.
In two games he had;
42pts
20asts
1TO (20:1)
Skal now #14 on DX's latest mock draft. ...
What do you guys think about Wade Baldwin? Looks like a George Hill type player to me? Could be a good backup insurance for Exum?

He should have gone to St. Mary's if he wanted to play.
Now Kentucky/St. Marys would be an awesome first round game.
If St Marys runs the table they may actually get a pretty high seed. Of course BYU fans are hoping for the upset in the conference tournament so they can get in.

I like Baldwin. Solid kid to consider. Wherever the Jazz pick, I just want the absolute best player to be picked. I don't care about positional value at all. Put talent in the room and then let competition sort out all the details.
DX has him at around #19 which is right around where the Jazz could be picking. He can also play SG at times as he's big enough to defend that position and hit the occasional 3. I like the pick.
