What's new

Following potential 2017 draftees...

Cool, nice facts. The real facts are his shooting is trending up greatly and that is what matters. When he is a great 3pt shooter in the NBA no on will care about what he shot his freshman or sophomore year.

We will see. This board is full of Utes fans so the support for him is overrated. He will be drafted in the second-round and he will not shoot it that well from 3 in the league. Write this down so you don't forget.

Of course his agent pulled him out. He made a great impression and there was no where to go but down

or he could have came back and killed it on day 2 if he was legit. There was this little fearless Jayhawk that did so.

You just mad I created Kyle Kuzma Island and bought all the property when he was mocked at 59 on DX and now he is up to 31 and rising.

Kind of like how I did the same with Kennard when he was mocked 34 on DX and Evans when he was mocked 36?

Kennard will be a lottery pick and Evans will be drafted in the 20's.

Kevin Pelton just came out with his rankings this year.

I will gladly tell anyone where a player is ranked and what is said about them.

There is quite a few surprises as usual.

5. Zach Collins

Despite coming off the bench on a deep, experienced Gonzaga team that lost in the national championship game, Collins rated as the best Zag on a per-minute basis.

He's a high-percentage finisher with good touch at the free throw line. The limited need for traditional bigs hurts Collins, but he's skilled enough that he might be able to play both frontcourt spots in the pros.

7. OG Anunoby

A team willing to draft Anunoby despite the torn ACL that prematurely ended his career at Indiana might get a steal. Anunoby is the only prospect in this year's draft projected for better than 2.0 steals per 100 plays and 2.0 blocks per 100 opponent 2-point attempts.

Historically, several wings who met that criteria have outperformed their draft slot. The group features Robert Covington, Danny Granger, Josh Howard and Andre Roberson, but also includes nonentities Renaldo Balkman, Branden Dawson and Chris Singleton.

12. Tony Bradley

Similar to Collins, Bradley played well enough in limited minutes to project as a top prospect. My projections don't specifically consider minutes played, though low-minutes players will have their stats regressed more to positional averages.

Bradley projects as the best offensive rebounder in the draft and the best since Kenneth Faried was drafted in 2011.

15. Monte Morris

The highest-rated player ranked outside Ford's top 30, Morris projects with a winning percentage (.478) near league average (.500, naturally) thanks to his sure-handed play.

His projected turnover rate (10.6 percent of his plays) is third-lowest among players in my database listed as point guards, tied with Malcolm Brogdon of the Milwaukee Bucks.

16. Josh Hart

One of the most productive players in college basketball as a senior, Hart has no statistical weaknesses, and he has strengths in terms of 2-point percentage and shooting.

Hart projects to a 3-and-D role in the NBA, and indeed his second-best comp is Danny Green. (Of course, his best comp is MarShon Brooks. The draft is hard.)

32. Jawun Evans
33. Frank Jackson
37. Bam Adebayo
40. D.J. Wilson
41. Caleb Swanigan
44. Derrick White
60. Jonah Bolden
84. Kyle Kuzma

Where did he have Ojeleye and what did he say?
 
Again over valuing players. This is known as one of the deepest classes in a long time and you think someone give a number ten pick for Hood. Get real bro learn the game before you insult it because I find it very disrespectful



I'm gonna throw out something just to see what you guys think - Dave Joerger is Sacramento's coach. Just how much do you think he will be willing to pay for Rodney Hood? No. 10? Or should we hold out for no. 5? :cool:
 
lmao, dude, a ton of people have liked Kennard all year. You dont get points for liking a guy from Duke when everyone liked him.

Kennard would be a good pick for Jazz at #30. He should be gone by the early 2nd rd if not sooner.

At 30 I think I'm probably on board. I've soured on him a bit since his two awful performances in the tourney. Dude got absolutely locked up by Thornwell.

lol
 
I helped create the Kennard bandwagon then I got off it. You were a late adopter. When everyone was calling him the next JJ Redick, I'm the one who pointed out he had shot creation abilities similar to Gordon Hayward.
 
[Semi is going be a huge bust ifbhebdrafted in round 1. He sucks. He couldn't even see minutes at duke when they were thin in front court. SMU plays nobodies. Also the list your jazz front office dude came up with sucks and makes you question how bad is going screw up This draft. 2 firstbrounders and two bust. The white dude from Cuse will be picked because He is white and he sucks. At the NBA level he going struggle because heis not as great athlete and he is soft. Top that off by the fact Syracuse players struggle to defend. Hopefully he nails the second round because I have a feeling five years from now you guys could be cursing him for this draft
He has Josh Hart as a top 20player. That's so funny

There was a bit of buzz that Lydon shot the lights out in his workout with the Jazz. Like the lighting fixtures were literally falling out of the ceiling. He might have been one of the Gobertesque workouts Locke referred to. Don't be shocked if the Jazz take him at 24.

Edit: Lydon was a 50/40/84 shooter at Syracuse with a good rebound rate (8.6 rpg), steals (1 pg) and blocks (1.4 bpg). Numbers are slightly better with pace adjustment. He has enough athletic potential to be an adequate defender (read: non-liability), even though he's not in the best shape.

I'm on board with Lydon at 24.
