Kris Wilkes. Eh, maybe top 20.

Click to expand...


Those fans of balance will like Kris Wilkes, he's quite smooth and under control for a player that size and age..

Look at his feet during the play 27 seconds in... Thats nimble... he's 6'8" that looks like a guard, or Hood almost...

Look at how he handles the oreb off the fly at 45 seconds in and then gathers himself to draw the foul, this is very impressive body control, look at how low his dribbles are, like a guard, and Wilkes has been doing this sorta stuff fluently for years tbh..

The ultimate Kris Wilkes highlight here takes place at 1:30 though, thats the sorta stuff why I say TJ Warren.

These are big $$$ highlights IMHO..He pretty much justified everything I ever posted to PKM about him over the years with this performace tbph...
 
Nick Richards at UK is also a decent prospect. He moves well on defense, runs the floor, and rebounds adequately for a back-up big. He can score a bit too.
 
Nick King, Redshirt Senior at Middle Tennessee will have taken a rather unusual path to the NBA, but he's gonna make it in some form, which is very cool.

He's a former 5-star relic from the HS class of 2013.. (Jabari/Wiggins).. who assuredly many wrote off long ago.. I lost track of him..

Started at Memphis his first two years averaged 4 and 7 points, sat out a year to xfer to Alabama last year scored 3.3ppg, this year at Middle Tennessee he's averaging 23.3 points on fantastic shooting %'s. He's a sniper. 6'7" long arms..

He's about Exum's age too, could definitely be a year older given his path.

The kid I always hyped at Ohio State, who came in with D'Angelo Russell, Keita Bates-Diop, is pretty much exactly what I was hyping him to be for all these years. He is actually playing so well he could workhimself into the end of the 1st rd. He's really a legit player to keep an eye on moving forward, prototype NBA SF build and he can really shoot it and defend, he's smart.



2 of the best seniors in the nation, and y'all know I'm biased against old players..

In almost any draft without extraordinary depth at C, Richards is at-worst a borderline lottery talent. He is also a late-bloomer with tons of upside (despite his advanced age for a Freshman).


In a best case scenario for Richards I thiink we'd see a slight resemblance to some Amare Stoudemire type of stuff.
 
Mo Bamba has achieved demi-god status already and probably should be speaken of with pre-draft Embiid like reverence..

U remember the Ed Reed Joke? 71% of the planet is covered by water and the rest is covered by Ed Reed... Rudy's defense is worth of a line like that, Mo's is too, he's gonna be the biggest threat to Rudy's shotblocking titles for years..

Let it be known I would co-sign paying a hefty premium to trade up and secure him, then I would experiment with him and Rudy on the floor at the same time.

This is a Porzingis type of situation, THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!

It wouldn't shock me at all if he went #1...

He is, undoubtedly, one of the best C prospects I've ever seen and he's a C don't get me wrong, I don't think people have taken into account what he could do next to a C like Rudy tho, and ofc he'd play backup C, and he's very young so there's no rush.

I believe he's a remarkably SAFE prospect....

Ok I lied. One more sleeper, it's the holidays, in the giving mood.

Nathan Knight 6'10" lefty PF/SF Sophomore at William and Mary's.

the hottest chick I ever bagged went to William and Mary's.. she was the one who got away.. Now, instead, my plan is still to find a pageant mother and adopt a 6-foot 7 year old from Cameroon or Mali, change his date of birth to december 31st and give em Lavar style training, minus the racism.

It’s William and Mary.

Hate how cocky he is, but love his game and his shot.

This kid is like Grayson Allen 2.0 with more spring. Committed to Georgetown. Dude is an amazing athlete.
 
Not saying its a hard and fast rule, but why is Mikal Bridges a redshirt Junior? What caused him to be a 4 year guy? I like what I see but just want some context. Genuinely curious.
 
Bridges looks like he has nba size and athleticism for sure. I like some of the moves i saw. He has a bit of a euro step, saw a few double teams he split. Seems like he can drive by his defender at will. He sizes up the second layer of defensd and has enough burst and length to score.

One thing i dont like is he doesnt seem to have a lot of change of pace, change of direction to his game. Kind of a north south guy. He can get wherever he wants due to length and explosion, and he shoot over guys, but i wonder how that works in the nba. Trevor Ariza is kind of north southy, Dante too. I didnt see a lot of great passes or what appeared to be reading the defense on his way to the hoop. Kind of a head full of steam guy. On the other hand, he might just be way more physically gifted than everyone else and may not need to make a lot of moves or reads. Im also evaluating him against stars in my mind, like kawhi and iggy. Bridges will be a very solid wing.

Mikal will come in and be a very good defender that is going to hit his 3 point shots. 62% or something like that from the corners.

I beleive taht he is very young for his class and that is why he redshirted.

He is just solid all around but I think he is a late lotto pick

Probably because Villanova had a deep team his freshman year and the coach just knew he wouldn't get much playing time.
 
ok top 10

Will go top 10 no matter what

Doncic
Bagley
Ayton
Porter
Bamba

Should go top 10 unless something happens

Jackson
Sexton
Young

Fighting for top 10

Knox
Miles Bridges
Mikal Bridges
Carter
robert Williams
Musa
 
The thing that hurts Bridges is that he is built like a toothpick. Kawhi is a tank.

A guy like Leonard probably plays at 230 and that's light for him.

A guy like Bridges is going to be heavy at 215.
