Yeah, Jeanne does not seem like a good shot blocker.
Following potential 2017 draftees...
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
Bam Adebayo with the 38.5" max vertical at 6'10"/243 lbs. His measurables are comparable to Dwight Howard and Derrick Favors. Just missing a half inch in height and an inch or two in standing reach. It wouldn't take much development for him to become an impact player.
As much as people are gawking at Ike Anigbogu, Bam is really a pretty comparable beast. Granted, Ike is a year younger.

Semi Ojeleye's 40" vertical is really impressive, considering he's built like a Mack truck.
Impressive vertical for Cameron Oliver as well.

Bam is an energy big with limited offensive skills. Will need a lot of development.

With that said, I clearly don't know **** after my Baldwin debacle last year.

Wagner needs to go back to school.I laughed when my dog PGAB said he could be a first-round steal after the ncaa dance
And Derrick Favors wasn't? Let me put it this way (and I've argued this before) ---
Bam Adebayo came into UK with high expectations and didn't meet them. Jarrett Allen came to UT with lower expectations and probably exceeded them. Both players measure very similarly, though Allen has a longer wingspan and +2 inches of standing reach. Allen is also 7 months younger. Both players put up virtually identical per game stats and per 40 stats, both offensively and defensively, though Bam has slightly better offensive efficiency. Both players are considered fairly raw/upside prospects.
DX is projecting Jarrett Allen in the early teens (13) and Bam in the late 20s (29). Could someone argue that Jarrett Allen is a better prospect? I guess so. Is he really 16 spots better? I'd say no. I think because these players are being judged relative to expectations that Allen is overrated and Adebayo is underrated.
Maybe I'm missing something. Maybe Adebayo doesn't play hard or is a knucklehead in some way. I find it hard to believe that a guy with that physical profile (only 5% body fat) is undisciplined or doesn't have a work ethic. I really want to see how that guy works out for teams. I think he can do more than he showed at UK.
