... Fox was killing them in the final minutes.

MSU could've really used Abdul Ado. Herrard shoudn't have been on the floor to get that 5th foul so early..

If they're smart they should be teaching Ado nothing but offense in this ineligible season

Issac is a real wildcard. I would take both Jackson and Anunoby over Jonathan Issac right now. I worry about Issac's toughness and foot speed as a wing, though I need to watch him more. He's better in that regard than Quincy Miller, but I've been fooled before.

OG has a higher floor, and just as much upside imo. With OG, I know I'm getting a prototypical 6'8" athletic wing with skill and toughness. I can point to a bunch of similar players who dominate the league.

Isaac is more athletic than Ingram who I had #1 last year, he's not as long.. If he were to get scorching hot to end the season/tournament he could easily build top-3 hype given his upside. He's also going to test very well at the combine and in workouts

Some team could definitely look at him and say 'eventually he can put up an easy 20 and help in other aspects'

The upside is real. It's just a question of how his body develops. I guess people were saying the same about Ingram last year. He's athletic, though not entirely explosive.

With OG, you might convince me that I'm getting a Jimmy Butler-caliber wing.

Isaac is also superior on the boards to Ingram tho.. He's basketball athletic, I can assure you they don't make em like that every year with the way he's got guard skills too... He's almost the type of player I could see being one of those major impact in all areas -- Shawn Marion types..


OG has no chance to achieve the efficiency with his dribble/ballskills and passing of Jimmy. He could be a big $$ wing for sure.

I don't see OG as a Jimmy Butler type at all. The best he can do right now is straight line drive. I can't see the playmaking and offense creation of a Butler in him. He seems like a 3 and D wing or stretchy 4 to me.

I think Isaac has much more offensive potential. I agree OG has higher floor, but I don't agree he has similar ceiling to Isaac. Isaac can put the ball on the floor, has some moves already, seems to have good passing instincts, can shoot off the dribble a bit. I don't see the same with OG. I also like Isaac's shot better.

How high does Fox go? If that dude is 6'3" - 6'4", I'd have him as a top 5 lock, maybe top 3. He not far from Wall at the sane stage if he's behind Wall at all.

There are things i like about DSjr over Fox, but gun to my head, i think i go D'Aaron.

I think every single team that's projected to be a bottom 8 record right now isn't thinking Ball, Fox or Smith Jr. They're all getting a boner thinking about the lottery and Fultz. Dude is insane IMO.

Good lord Motley went for 32 and 20.

DL's son dropped 7 dimes too.

Lindsey's son is a great college glue type of player. He's the sort that Notre Dame seems to always have one of(Vasturia) with another in development. Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk is that dude as it relates to this thread...

Motley is one of the players where IMO you can conclusively say - "This guy is playing himself into the 1st rd.." I had him in the 40's at one point in my 2016 mocks... Some team is gonna look at him like the Lakers did Larry Nance and say "this guy can help us off the bench right now"
 
Excellent showing from Jonathan Isaac in a win over #15 Notre Dame. He's super safe.. He's kinda like a lighter Rashard Lewis with more bounce/agility/elasticity and rebounding/shot-blocking prowess.

Career high 21 and he just got a huge block with 18 seconds to go..

and then the game clinching steal with 11 seconds to go (1st to the floor)... He's a great athlete for that size... I don't trust anyone's opinion who says otherwise..

and then what looked like 2 more blocks in the last 2 seconds.... U cant make this **** up...
 
John Collins is completely unstoppable tonight vs Miami -- They can't do anything with him 5/6 from the field and 7/7 from the stripe and the 2nd half just started. Deacons up by 20


He's really the type of PF 'project' I could see them taking with the 1st 2nd rd pick if he falls that far..
 
This Fultz guy is pretty good... Jazz should darft the eff out of him.

I've been crushing on him for a while. I think he's a more athletic Harden-type... Unfortunately I don't see a way to trade up for him. You'd have to start by Gobert and then add other stuff to make it happen... and that's not gonna happen.
 
I wanted to dismiss him as another Washington dude with huge numbers but after watching for about 10 minutes I was super impressed. Smooth dude... I pray he doesn't go to the celtics... can't stand them
