Following potential 2015 draftees

[framer]

Somebody is going to reach like Hell on Kaminsky and they will do it in the top 8.

Do you think he will stay in college? LSU might have a great team next year with Simmons, Blakeney and Mickey?

They would be VERY good.

 

[Dr. Jones]

I think he goes pro, though. His stock will climb a bit and will strike.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

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.

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..

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.

Nice post..... idiot.

Really? That would be quite a reach.

I watched him in the 2nd half today, looked pretty good. He would have to expand his game, but he is very aggressive around the rim and relentless on the boards/going after shots.

Martin is good, but he is more of a tweener.

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.

 

[Chargers Jazz Angels]

i think the jazz have a good shot at getting a serious rotational player in this draft even if they continue to win. Winslow would be a monster wing defender and might even have a chip on his shoulder if he falls draft night and works his butt off to prove people worng.

Seems to me it would play something like Andrea Bargnani, but I haven't watched him much.

Karl Towns is having a good game for UK -- 17/6/3/2bl

Karl Towns is having a good game for UK -- 17/6/3/2bl

He finished with

19 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks

Like I said before the game today, I still really like his upside. He's such a unique player.

 

[spycam1]

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.

I saw that coming. He's got serious potential.

 

[spycam1]

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.

Like... how excited?

 

[orangello]

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.

So he has a little Andrew Harrison in him?

And it could also drop if he announces he wants to stay in Europe for additional years.
