I think Kanter's contract expires in a bad free agency year for him, there's going to be a ton of Big's on the market, I'm hoping hes sneaky good and re-ups on a bargain deal.

You should hope that none of the payroll, market, free agency value experts on this board are reading that ;)

Don't sleep on Myles Turner, Texas produces studs out of top recruits (Durant, Aldridge). Won't get very far in the tourney though.

I like Trey Lyles better than Myles Turner.


Also I think that Towns could rise similar to Embiid depending on his play. His floor should be 3rd overall pick just due to his upside.

Towns is an impact player on both ends of the floor when he's engaged, and it will be interesting to see just what John Calipari can draw out of the young center. He has truly unique touch and coordination for a player his size, but can be even more imposing when he's assertive in the post. Looking like an obvious one-and-done candidate regardless, it will be interesting to see what kind of balance Towns is able to strike on the offensive end as a freshman in what figures to be a very crowded Kentucky big man rotation.

This is what Givony wrote about him when watching him practice at the hoops summit.

I think he's a mobility Center, who's got a good potential to develop a toolkit that resembles Dirk Nowitzki very strongly.

If scouts think they have the chance to draft the next Dirk, he'll be ahead of Mudiay and Okafor.

Okafor is a more skilled, more developed pure post player, but he'll need 4 shooters around him to do what Dwight never successfully did in Orlando.

With Towns you don't care who's around him. He's got enough size, mobility, IQ and hops to be a decent rim protector and on offense his versatility will make everyone around him better.
 
Any thoughts on Sindarius Thornwell? hes not on DX's mock and is #36 on their Freshman rankings last updated in April. NBAdarft.net has Thornwell near the Lottery.

I'm pretty sure some say hes a PG, some say hes a Combo and some say hes a SG, He looks Rodney Stuckey-ish to me.
 
Elbert Robinson is down to 288lbs... LSU says hes a legit 7'1.. Elbert could jump pretty well at 300+ lbs, hes one of my favorite 4 star players incoming to college.

Mudiay is to play overseas next year per YAHOO:

The nation's No. 1 high school guard, Southern Methodist University signee Emmanuel Mudiay of Dallas, will hire an agent and take a job playing basketball overseas next season.
Hours after Yahoo Sports reported that Mudiay was considering the move, SMU coach Larry Brown issued a statement that his top recruit planned to bypass college and turn professional.

"This is not an academic issue, since he has been admitted to SMU, but rather a hardship issue," Brown said in a statement.

Nevertheless, little evidence supports the Hall of Fame coach's assertion on Mudiay's reason for leaving SMU.

Mudiay had conversations with Brown and university officials about his ability to become academically eligible and withstand NCAA scrutiny into his amateur status to play his freshman year, sources told Yahoo Sports.

Mudiay's brother, Stephane, has been discussing potential representation for Emmanuel with player agents for the past week, sources told Yahoo Sports.

Mudiay, an explosive 6-foot-5 guard, has been projected as a lottery pick in the 2015 NBA draft. The Chinese Basketball Association has been discussed as a possible destination for Mudiay, a native of the Congo.

Mudiay attended Prime Prep Academy in Dallas. He was born in Zaire and escaped war-torn Congo before settling in the United States with his family.

UK compliance had told Calipari that Mudiay may not get past Sandy Bell if he chose UK. Questions of shadiness (I can name several others as well.. but won't at this time - Chris Walker is one).

That's why Cal immediately offered Ulis even before Mudiay announced.. recruiting is gut-wrenching and ugly thing, too often.
 
First, he thanked his mother for cooking so well because, you know, he’s “a big guy.” But then he quickly became more serious. When Towns began talking about his father’s sacrifices to ensure his son would have every opportunity, he fought back tears in giving example after example. The crowd of adults buzzed about the 18-year-old’s speech after the event ? and they didn’t even know he hadn’t planned it.

“I just ad-libbed up there; I didn’t think I was going to win,” he said. “I went up there and saw the hardware in my hand, and thought about all the hardships I had to go through. I thought what my family did. When they said my name, I was in complete shock.

“Going up there, I looked down at my parents’ faces and how proud they were, and I came down to tears. I was thinking about how much they had to do for me to piut clothes on my back and shoes on my feet. … I had to move constantly. I had to live with my sister. My parents were working so many jobs. All those things came to my mind at that moment.”
