What's new

Following potential 2017 draftees...

The 3-star kid who committed to UL today obviously has pro potential, and that ranking is a complete joke. Lemme just say thats the best 3-star prospect in the class while I still can..

Other 3-star prospect I really like is a local kid, 6'5" SG Keith Williams headed to Cincinnati, tough scorer who plays up to the competition.

Friend of mine coached him.. (He's working with Moses Brown now...)
 
Hands-down the most impressive before/after body transformation (for incoming freshman) I've seen this year, goes to Myles Powell of Seton Hall.

With T-Ferguson in Australia, he's got a serious claim as the best shooter in the whole class...

Ferguson is my target this upcoming draft go the jazz.

I'm all for it, I suspect he'll be one of the late risers though and end up out of reach, his projections near the 20's seem too low, I've got him right on the fringe of the lottery..

I'll post my final (1st one here) preseason mock ina bit.

According to your early mock the ideal draft for me would be

Grayson Allen - to fill in for burks when he gets traded away for future picks.

Thomas Bryant - is am old school big that can score in the low post but has range out to the 3 pt line. He would be quite the replacement for gobert.

Jaron blossomgame - he would be the future replacement for Joe johnson.

When I say replacement I mean subbing in for him. Backing him up.

60-70 @nba personnel staff members in attendance at @DukeMBB pro day. Jayson Tatum goes down with some type of foot injury. Didn't look good

@DraftExpress
NBA scout at Duke Pro Day today said Jayson Tatum appeared to suffer "a stress reaction in his foot." No official word or timetable yet.

This sucks
 
Guess it's time to learn a whole new slew of prospects. Especially considering we currently have the 1st and 2nd overall picks right now :p
 
For the record I'm all for taking 18 year old, 7'3" Felipe Dos Anjos with the 2nd 1st rd pick.

imagen-felipedosanjos31.jpg


Obviously he's a project, he's got the talent to warrant that pick though. He might actually be mobile enough to (eventually) play some minutes next to Rudy...
 
@EvanDaniels
Duke's Jayson Tatum suffered a left foot sprain in practice yesterday, per release. Expected to be back in two weeks.
2:05 PM - 26 Oct 2016



Good for him. It's likely that Jonathan Isaac crushes it this year at FSU and there might not be too many players that compare to him, and now he's gonna have a head start, Tatum's seemingly got the best chance at keeping the pace, glad that will still be a storyline to track.
