What's new

Following potential 2017 draftees...

I've caught a few Rhode Island games this year and I used to be on the EC Matthews bandwagon but it's hard for me to believe he's got any chance at getting drafted if he's gonna play like what I've seen, which has been poor outside shooting and not many assists. It's bizarre NBAdraft.net has him so high.

His teammate Hassan Martin has a better shot at getting picked imo.
 
I feel like UNC's Tony Bradley(6'10" 7'4" wingspan) or Creighton's Justin Patton(6'11½') might be better fits. Bradley's postgame and footwork are MUCH more fluid.

Patton is shooting 80% from the field..

Also 6'9" Robert williams is worthy of mention in this convo too. He's a freak athlete like a Clint Capela and can guard the rim better than some of these taller players.


Thomas Bryant does have an element of tenacity to his game like Trevor Booker that should appeal to the FO though. Good prospect.


patton reminds me a lot of Whiteside coming out of college

I'm watching them play a game Akron team right now. He hit a 3. Interesting player, he's certainly superior at this point to Georgetowns Jessie Govan who DX had at the 30 spot of their mock earlier in the year.. he's debuting in the first rd of my mock. Check out this outlet pass he just threw

If the jazz got Marquess bolden.
Wow. My guess though if they got him at 21 then 30 would be a wing or draft and stash.

Mushidi would be a good get

My point was the draft and stash of mudhidi. He has the talent to be really good but a year or 2 over seasons could be awesome

the stash target in that range is Kulboka. 6'9" and can shoot the lights out. Simanic, Jeanne and Kurucs too.

I figure if Mushidi declares this year he's trying to come over because he plays for Mega Leks.

Probably right. I also doubt that Mushidi is stupid enough to not wait 3 years to free himself from the rookie scale if he stays. But since player/agent and team really look each other in the eye over there they'd either sell him to a euro powerhouse for a ton of cash and have him play there for 3(But who knows who'd want that?) or just have the team pay the $600k buyout.
 
Bolden is just one of those players who seems like he could do more given his size and ability, he's a bit of an underperformer in my book til he proves otherwise.

Placing the bigs in the 20-50 range was by-far the most difficult part of throwing this mock together. It's a fluid situation. Bolden could easily fall out of the 1st IMO, so I detest this presumptuous "Duke is missing 3 lottery picks" spiel.

all I know is his FG% has gotta improve and so does his AST:TO ratio or he'll keep dropping and eventually disappear from the mock.
 
Honorable mention for the mock to;

James Blackmon Jr(Indiana) who will debut somewhere in the 35-50 range if he keeps playing as is.
Dedric Lawson(Memphis) who's got a shot to debut in the 30-45 range.
Jo Lual-Acuil (Baylor) in the 40-60 range
Wenyen Gabriel (Kentucky) 27-40 range
Chimeze Metu and Elijah Stewart (USC) 30-50
P.J. Dozier(USC) 40-60
Chris Boucher, Tyler Dorsey and Dillon Brooks(Oregon) in the 2nd rd
Peter Jok(Iowa) 50-60
L.J. Peak and Jessie Govan(Georgetown) 40-60
Isaiah Hicks and Joel Berry II(UNC) 40-60
Jawun Evans(OK st.) 40-45
LaGerald Vick(Kansas) 25-35
Ike Anibogu(UCLA) 29-41 Aaron Holiday 32-42 and Henry Welsh 47-60
Kyle Kuzma(Utah) 40-50
Keita Bates-Diop(OSU) 40-50
Diego Flaccadori (International '96) 35-45

T.J. Leaf is like a better version of Luke Babbitt. He can take it coast to coast. Handles it great.

Also I'll take Jrue Holliday's brother Aaron over Jawun Evans. I don't mind Evans he's just a player that I'd describe as one who does too much but still leaves plenty to be desired, and he's short.

Yah looks to have a really crossover for a 6'10" guy. Have they been playing him at SF or PF? Almost 3 assists a game so far.

Now we need to find the better version of Hayward in this draft and draft him ahead of Leaf.

On a more serious note - PG_AB, have you seen Temple wing Quinton Rose? If yes - what's your opinion on him? I only saw 1 game of him and I really liked him.
