Kel’el Ware is hitting some good agility numbers. He might jump in some boards.

Reed Sheppard's highlights look like ass but you can't deny those #s as a freshman.

Tyon Grant-Foster seems like an interesting prospect if you have a pick in the 50s.

He needed to not be on a Calipari team. He was off the bench and put in at random times. I think he was also forced to sacrifice scoring. I think there are definitely holes to his game like generating a shot for himself (something Rob Dillingham did very well), but he will be a guy that can instantly play, be good to great on defense, and get stars the ball. He'll also be automatic from three if he gets open looks. I don't know if he can become an elite ball handler and become a shooter like Steph, but I know he's got the game to stick around, at minimum, as a high level role player. A little scary in the top five. Same with Dillingham.

Yea, I was looking at his combine numbers today mixed with his scoring numbers. Definitely a sleeper pick.

Grant-Foster is pretty old (24) with a significant cardiac event while at DePaul

I’m admittedly not a draft guy, but I see Collier mocked to us. Wasn’t he the consensus number 1 recruit coming in? Is this a Maxey-ish situation where we get an overlooked stud late?
always a jump shot away.

He feels like a below the rim kinda guy. Didn't catch his wingspan. I will say, he's fast as **** in a straight line.

I see Filipowski, the Duke kid, mocked at 16 on Tankathon.

Bub Carrington blew up the shooting drills.

Ware, Walter, Carrington at 16 would be ideal.

Get a 23 year old at 41 if we stick and pick there.

Outside of Terrence Shannon (legal issues) and Ja'Kobe Walter, he'd be the best possible selection at #16, IMO.

He's an absolute stud penetrating G that attacks defenders at gets to the line, at will. He's built like a tank and a great passer.

I would be ecstatic over Walter OR Carrington at 16! I'd be fine with Collier, Filipowski, De-Silva..There are a lot more names out there that I like at that spot. I hope Cody Williams somehow falls.

Might not be a sexy pick, but I really like Quentin Post in the 2nd. More of a low floor prospect than high ceiling, but I think he definitely has enough to stick around as a solid backup C. 7 footer with a soft touch from 3 and overall pretty impressive offensive game. Could be like a poor man’s Brook Lopez

Damn Devin is legit. The question is: can you get someone with a higher ceiling who can outpace him? It’s hard in this draft.

I'd be very happy with Devin Carter at #16. He's the kind of guy Maxey needs as a backcourt partner long-term.
