Following potential 2015 draftees

Isn't Skal the kid that goes to a school called Reach Your Dream prep that was recently created after he was ruled ineligible to play at some place?

Lmao. Oh well, still better than what UNC did.

I would respond but it would be tl;dr.

Yeah, A LOT of fans don't want Skal for fear of shady dealings. I will just say if he passes UK compliance, I am good with him. He's actually a VERY good student, a stellar baller, and he was ineligible simply for transferring schools too late or smth..
 
SKAL?!

I was at peace with wherever Briscoe chose.. but Skal was someone I always thought of as too good to be true, been a big fan of his for some time, that'd be friggin nuts, seemed unlikely just a few months ago.

He reminds me of Lamarcus Aldridge, with a twist of John Henson, his skillset is perfect for todays NBA. dude shot his HS teams technical free throws... at around an 88% clip IIRC. (he's a 6'11 shotblocker).

Do you think that'd have an effect on Swanigans recruitment?

Yes.

Those close to the program think we sign Skal, Diallo, and Zimmerman.. and MAYBE one of Bragg/Swanigan.

Greedy? I suspect yes.

Hehe thats not greedy, thats overkill. those close to the program must think they have like 7 players drafted this season, If theyre trying to reload like that.

Ivan Rabb's out of the picture? He might have access to a time machine already.. According to Rivals he visited UK on 10/24/2015.

I never felt strongly about Rabb, really. I think he stays left coast.

We are projecting 6 players being drafted.. 4 players remain as 'key' players. We need to sign 6. (platoon)

Two of;
Newman
Briscoe
Blakeney

Three of the bigs mentioned before.

One of;
Brown
a 4th big

Diallo and Skal is really the pair I think would be the most difficult to deal with at the college level anyway, I could never ask for more than that. they'd block the sun, and absolutely punish other frontcourts, It'd go down in a really demoralizing way for the opposition, they'd punk college players right now.

I suspect Rabb will probably be a better NBA player than College player anyways, He's got the David Lee skillset. always thought he'd be best served at UK, on the Karl Towns strength and conditioning plan though.

Any chance Brandon Ingram goes to UK? Is he waiting on Jaylen Brown to choose first?


Do ya still prefer Blakeney over Newman?

I just haven't felt that solid with Ingram (stay in Raleigh), Brown (Adidas), or Rabb (left coast).

btw, did you see any highlights of the last Exh game? Andrew threw a bounce pass through the legs of his defender to a trailing WCS who dunked it a la Malone blindfold.
Also, Lyles slams it, then steals the ball coming the other way at half court, throws ahead to Booker for the no look over/behind his head to a trailing Lyles with the flying reverse dunk. Showtime.
 
fwiw, there's some REAL solid rumors that Diallo is leaning heavily toward Iowa State, but wants to see if Hoiberg is going to hang around. I have others that say he's being advised against it.. but wtf knows with these kids these days.

Nah i didnt catch these games, Ive been watching ALL of the NBA games.

Ive always suspected Lyles was going to be way better than advertised, He's a natural. He really flashes some crazy skill, along with prototype size, the footage is laced with stuff worthy of multiple rewinds(1:06 - are you kidding me).

My favorite part of Lyles game was always that Jab step he does while hes lining up mid-range jumpers, Its reminded me of Carmelo Anthony. His BBIQ is probably incredibly high, He does eyes in the back of his head type ****, I had a big smile reading about that pass, Ive seen him do something similar, back when he was fat.

Hah I hope Lyles is shooting those floaters every game. My official player comparison for now is - If Zach Randolph was actually good, unselfish, 3 inches taller, could jump, pass and wasnt a complete moron.

The Jazz would be well served to trade for the rights to Andrew Harrison. This years PG crop is shaping up to be really good imo, there will be a steal available in the middle of the first.

Mudiay's a triple double waiting to happen, theres a Lance Stephenson element of raw power with his game,he wont fall past the Lakers. I dont think Andrew has chance at being drafted before him. I know Andrews a much more reliable FT and 3pt shooter (though Mudiay is shooting like 50% from 3 right now), so he's probably more of a fit next to the Jazz current player.

Mudiay has the upside. Andrew the steady. No doubt I take Mudiay.
 
off the top of my head (slight room for error. watching the WSOP).. <<PG/SG's included>>

Mudiay > An Harrison > Terry Rozier > Aa Harrison > Marcus Paige > ((D'Angelo Russell)) > E.C. Matthews > Rodney Purvis > Tyus Jones > ((Isaiah Taylor)) >((Isaiah Whitehead)) > Delon Wright > ((Sindarius Thornwell))> Joseph Young > ((Marcus Foster)) > Bryce dejean Jones > Juwan Staten > ((Isaac Hamilton)) > Nigel Williams Goss > ((Devonte Graham)) > Oliver Hanlan > ((Boris Dallo)) > ((Tyler Ullis)) > ((Kasey Hil))l > Ryan Boatright > Fred VanVleet > Guillem Vives > ((Rysheed Jordan)) > Rasheed Suilamon


Am I missing anyone? The ones in parenthesis are unlikely to declare this season. I hope EC Matthews explodes onto the national scene, this season, looks like a bigtime sleeper.
