Following potential 2017 draftees...

That can be protectable

ALWAYS choose the bigger sample size over a season. Never limit your sample just to fit a narrative. (unless there is a serious reason to ignore the rest of the sample - for example the player played injured for 3 months)
 
I'm an all Texas teams fans, Razorbacks, and Jayhawks fan. Never, never bet against Kansas in college basketball. I still remember that Memphis/Kansas National Championship. People I was with were leaving in the final minutes, I was like "Don't count Kansas out, don't ever count Kansas out!" They all left... then I got tons of texts "woah bro you were right that was amazing!!! In the final minute Memphis blew a big league by missing all their free throws and Kansas rainstorm'd 3s
 
I would argue Ferguson is a good 3pt shooter. He made an awful mistake going over seas to play over college ball. Guys like that almost never get playing time regardless of skill level. It's hard to do anything in 6 mins of time a game. If I recall, he was thought of as a very good shooter out of high school, then hit 7 threes in that USA vs. world all star game, plus just watching that stroke, it's hard to believe he won't be at least average to above average.

He is just unbelievably skinny. He has a terrible body. I dont see him having much potential to put on weight. That is probably why he did so poorly in Australia, just the immense physical difference from going to HS to professional, and Australia is a fairly beefy league unlike China.

So, those 16-18 games is a damn good sample for improvement.

Riveting story
 
Down with that White Choco, officially accept!

Mason can play D, make free throws, elite 3 point shooter, elite vertical; pretty much the anti-thesis of Kuzma. Kuzma has some height and that's it, he won't even be a good re bounder in the NBA. He's good in transition with a handle but ZERO D

Mason also outplayed Evans both match up bro, though they are both good. Don't know how you can't see the top 3 point shooter in the college basketball not having value when it's going for a premium in the today's NBA

Kuzma had 15 double-doubles this year and shot 40% from 3pt in conference play. That was against arguably the best conference in the nation this year.

His two biggest downsides are his age and his 3pt shooting. Every prospect in our range has their flaws and I'll take Kuzma's especially since he has shown he can be a better shooter.

Let's just ignore their awful history of going out early in the tournament as well. Lot of that, and loosing to teams that have no business beating Kansas. Lol

I think there is something to using the latter half of the season, especially when it's against stronger competition. It's not like it's an arbitrary date. It's usually the opposite, someone has great numbers but people say "But in conference play he really dropped off". And so far the shooting has continued to trend up in his public showings. He shot super well at the combine and he has reportedly impressed with his shooting at workouts, so it's signs of a continual upward trend.
 
And for what it's worth, my good friend who has Joe Jesus number in his phone right now, couldn't believe Mason wasn't projected top 20 when we talked last. He himself played college ball for two different schools, grew up with Joe.

So because he knows Joe Johnson and has his phone number it means he is a draft expert?

I wouldn't say it's a good sample. Players go hot over 15-20 games samples all the time. He shot .388 over 49 attempts. He misses 2 of those and gets below average.
 
It means he's a better judge of talent than most. He was playing with Malik Monk just last summer

On top of that he also blew up in 5 on 5's at the draft thing.
