well, at the very least i'm glad that there's a legitimate option at #3 in case we drop

Can't get Swaggy P out of my head when I watch Heild... Which is obviously not a good thing and maybe a little unfair.

But I might have to go with Ima on him. I think he's a 'one-hit-wonder' that's going to get drafted way too high.

My comp for Hield is Michael Redd, but I hate his hair too.

I think he's more like Mitch Richmond

I like hield
But does he have the upside to go 3?

I'm starting to think I want Ingram more than Simmons.

I guarantee that Redd prayed to the big man upstairs that he would be blessed with a ceiling as high as Hield's.

He will be the best player from this class if his work ethic between this season and last remains throughout his career.

Really? Besides scoring, what does Hield excel at? Dude has more turnovers than assists in his career. He doesn't rebound and play defense well enough. Helluva scorer though.

My top 5 so far:

1-SImmons
2-Ingram
3-Dunn
4-Bender
5-Hield/Brown

It's very close between Simmons and Ingram.

Getting down to it I got Murray as the best SG prospect.

He can rebound. He just had a double-double against TAMU - he really stood out as a playmaker that game as well. He averaged nearly 6 rebounds a game this past season. I don't know what you personally expect from a 2 guard, but that's more than adequate in my opinion. He's light years better in the pick and roll game compared to last season, as well as in ISO situations. For his usage, he's elite at scoring efficiently. I will say that his playmaking needs to get better - or at least show more in the stats. The attention he receives from defenses alone goes unnoticed to the untrained eye, but because of this his teammates have quite the easy time offensively.

As far as his defense, he's more than capable - the issue is he's asked to do so much offensively and Woodard usually is tasked with the assignment of guarding the best backcourt scorer for that reason. I will agree that you'd like to see more from on that end currently, but the potential is there and the advanced stats back it.

His improvement over the course of the past 4 years and more specifically his Junior to Senior year is quite impressive.

Too bad we only have a 55.8% chance of keeping the pick.

Anybody like Zak Showalter? If he goes undrafted - likely - I'd like to see him at our camp, one of those guys who outhustles everyone and does a little of everything. Every team needs a guy like that

For the record, general consensus here among the NBA folks is Ingram will be the No. 1 pick in June, fwiw

Interesting analysis on Ingram and the Durant comparison.

Really highlights the gap between Durant and Ingram as prospects for me.
