Jordan Mickey with another monster game.
24 points
12 rebounds
2 blocks
10/13 from FT line
Do you think he will stay in college? LSU might have a great team next year with Simmons, Blakeney and Mickey?
If his stock reaches 1st round he probably goes, but if not he stays. Haven't seen him climb any mock drafts yet. Dude is a monster though. I think he has a chance to be a good NBA player if his game keeps developing.
I don't have a horse in this race, but by the numbers (DX /per 40 pace adjusted):
rebounding
scoring
Asst/TO ratio
3pt %
steals
blocks
The difference in team quality probably causes the scoring difference, but I suspect rebounding, 3pt %, steals, blocks, Asst/TO ratio are probably not due to team differences.
I also suspect scouts are higher on Looney's physical profile than Lyles's, though I'm just speculating here.
Somebody is going to reach like Hell on Kaminsky and they will do it in the top 8.
Have you seen any of their games? I haven't... They have another potential NBA draftee in Jarell Martin(currently #47 on the DraftExpress mock for 2015) in the front court. He averages 16/9 too... Is he any good? Oh, and BTW, he seems to be a pretty good facilitator at the PF position and averages 2 assists per game..
Really? That would be quite a reach.
A polished pick and pop big that can also be effective in the post and blocks two shots a game? His ceiling may not be large, but that would play well in the Leastern conference right now.
Karl Towns is having a good game for UK -- 17/6/3/2bl
DraftExpress has moved Hezonja up to #6.
Okafor
Russell
Mudiay
Towns
Johnson
Hezonja
Cauley-Stein
Porzingis
Oubre
Looney
Someone needs to tell me what Looney really does better than Lyles, tbh.
Yeah, I think most of us saw that coming. Utah really needs to finish bottom 6, but bottom 8 might still work. If they drop to 10 or worse, I'm going to be bummed. Utah needs to catch a break or two in order to take the next step, otherwise we could be looking at another season similar to this one next year.
Yeah, there's six players that get me excited in this draft and they're now the top 6 on DX. I'll be disappointed if we miss out on all of them just so we could win two more games this season.
So he has a little Andrew Harrison in him?I have watched Kris Dunn for a few years now. My opinion is he rises to low competition and sinks against legit players/teams.
I think he's a good player, but too mentally weak to play against pros to go along with a loose handle.
His line against UK this year (I know, only one game..)
29 minutes
1-7 from the field for 6pts
6rbs
3asts
1stl
10 to's
He is also averaging more than 4to's/gm on the season against a schedule that only had one top20 team.
