Following potential 2015 draftees

[Dr. Jones]

?????? He's 19. He was born 1995.

Well that would certainly make a difference.. I thought the vid said '92.

Yeah there's a typo on that vid...lots of people commented on it. It's 1995 on DX website.


(you can start screaming now)

 

[Dr. Jones]

Still not screaming. Still underwhelming stats and ft shooting.. but at least now there's obvious upside.

My outlandish prediction for big rise on the '15 boards (he's currently not there at all, so yeah..)

Marcus Lee (UK PF/C)

Though he's currently thought to be about 5th on the depth chart of bigs (behind Towns, WCS, Johnson, and Lyles), he has beefed up (a lot) over the summer, has been working really hard on his shot (and it's paying off), and he's just so dang long and bouncy.. I could see him going from nowhere to late teens if he gets at least 12 - 15 minutes per game.

I think the NCAA's is going to start an max average height allowed. Y'all will need to recruit some 5'7" guys. I nominate my 2 year old son.

Dude.. 2 yr old that's 5'7? Send info to Calipari, quickly.

Yeah, we may have as many as 6 guys that are 6'8 and up that could go first round over the next two drafts. Could be the deepest front line in cbb history.

For that matter, we've got two 5 star PG's and two 5 star SG's to go with that front line. We're weak at the SF spot. Poythress not quite fast enough (but very close) and Booker is not quite strong enough (but close).

I like your optimism about Marcus Lee. But what have I seen last year? Someone who can jump, crash the boards but literally has 0 ballskills.

KP is projected at #7 with 3 Centers/PF going before him. We really need the Harrison brothers to start performing to their potential for KP to drop to us.

1) DAJ didn't have a junior aged college season
2) DAJ is bigger, stronger, more athletic
3) Was more productive at the same age

What do you make of the 'Dakari Johnson has made significant progress' rumor?

 

[Dr. Jones]

Hes dropped about 20 lbs.. maybe moving better... don't make much of it.

 

[Hantlers]

But let's face it, he won't get more than 10 min. a game.

In China?

Lets make a bet…I say he easily gets over 10, you say he won't.

You up for it?

Does a quarter count?

Tyler Ullis ain't no cotdamn 5'10.

Europe. Re read it.

4'10??

Hes good though.. like real good. For college, that is.

 

[Hantlers]

Pretty sure PG_AB has posted this numerous times, but here goes.

Interesting points to note:

- Dirk lite?

- Notice how fast he gets up and down the floor (could probably easily beat some wings, HUGE strides). That'll be a nice fit in Quin's new offensive system where he emphasise getting down the floor and scoring quickly.

- 7 footer that can shoot? How do you guard that? Unstoppable.

Andrea Bargnani says hello. So does Nikoloz Tskitishvili.
