Hulls will play a lot. He may suck defensively, but his shooting outweighs that weakness.

Jarnell Stokes will be killing it.

Ryan Boatright will take a huge step forward at Uconn this year.

Anybody think Vander Blue finally breaks out?

Stokes is a rock, if he works on his speed/lateral quickness, he'd crack into the lottery.

I expect a big season from Young and Leslie, don't like Christmas as a prospect, best case, Brandon Bass.

Boatright needs to learn how to play as a PG, the prospect I really like from UConn is DeAndre Daniels, keep an eye on him.

depends on how much his jumper has improved.
he certainly has NBA athleticism though.

i dont see that one. christmas is a hell of an athlete with prototype length, but has no offensive skill. if he pans out, and thats a big if given his lack of feel for the game and questionable motor, i think he can be a chris wilcox type with better shot blocking potential.

Ehh, prolly not. He's the type of guy that gets less impressive the more you see him. Sooo many dumb plays and boneheaded errors. He's a great athlete but not much else.

I was watching one of Bazz's games and Ben Carter's combo of height, speed and ballhandling feel stood out to me as pretty impressive. Had a pretty beautiful coast to coast at one point

Jahii Carson..very excited to watch him play this yr.. he really reminds me of super athletic ty lawson. Slightly less playmaking ability but still on that level. Even though I don't think he'll leave next year, I rate his talent above likes of Kabongo, Harrow, Elijah Johnson, and Burke.

talent as far as pure athleticism? sure, but so is joe jackson.
jahii has a whole lot of style over substance in his game. he's also tiny without the length to make up for his lack of height.

him committing to ASU was strange to me given how herb sendek likes to play ball. that coach/PG relationship should be interesting to see play out.

id Say Nash from Oklahoma State and Kabongo from Texas would be sleepers. Kabongo seems like Rondo

marcus smart > lebryan nash
i think lebryan's too dumb of a player to be anything more than a physical tease.

Sure he has flash to his game but his natural pg skill and court vision separates him from being a nate robinson type..his ability to break down press and half court defense with absolute ease reminded me of ty lawson when he was at oak hill. Jackson has less pg skills than carson as well more if scorerss mentality..kind of like aaron brooks mold.

Ive been going through all the PGs that could be potentially drafted and Lorenzo Brown stood out to me as underrated. He should easily be a first rounder and could become a lotto pick on this years NC State team

my only question about brown is if he's good enough to stay on the point with tyler lewis and r.purvis lurking.

Does C.J. McCollum count as a sleeper? Kid can do it all.

I'm biased, but I'm a big fan of Allen Crabbe from Cal. He's got a great stroke and good size at 6'6". The knock on him is his lateral quickness and athleticism...

Chris Braswell from Charlotte also is someone I'd keep an eye on. He's a good rebounder and solid scorer from inside. Additionally, he has developed a solid jumpshot out to about 20ft. He's a big guy at 6'9" 240.

Also, Brandon Paul looks like an interesting prospect out of Illinois. He needs more consistency to his game but he has great athleticism and reminds me of a poor man's Dion Waiters.

I can see where you're coming from. The team will need a solid second option outside of Michael Snaer and he should have a much bigger role in the offense. I'm not sure if he can be a full time SF at the next level but he has an interesting skill set.. I thought Antwan Space would've been a player out of the gate but he transferred.

Ironically, last year I would've said Ian Miller from FSU but the kid has never seemed to put it together.
