Federico Mussini | PG | Italy
Stefan Peno | PG | Serbia
George Lucas de Paula | PG | Brazil
Jamal Murray | PG/SG | Canada
Nedim Buza | SF | Bosnia
Ben Simmons | SF/PF | Australia
Skal Labissiere | PF | Haiti
Tai Wynyard | PF | New Zealand
Cheick Diallo | PF/C | Mali
Thon Maker | PF/C | Australia
Zhou Qi | C |China

Frontcourt is really good and the PG's are decent as well although I think that the team could have used another good wing player instead of maybe 5 bigs. Or at least a good SG instead of someone like Stefan Peno.

Nedim Buza, George Lucas de Paula should be 2nd round picks this year, Murray has good potential but he is still a Junior, Peno is a creative guard, a little bit chaotic, Labissiera and Wynyard will play for UK, and the rest will likely be in 2016 Draft.

I thought this year's draft was choke full of C and PF.

According to ESPN ranking, only 2 out of the top 10 players are not PF or C.

NBA big man talent influx starts in June 2015 and should continue till 2018-2019

those lineups look solid and should have some really good matchups in it. That frontline bangout should be money but i'm assuming there will be plenty of zone played. Hope it doesn't swallow Biggie Swan up, I like to see that kid work on the block.

looking forward to seeing the usual suspects (Simmons, Rabb, Maker, Brown, Newman) but even more excited to see more of Briscoe, Kennard, Skal, Jamal Murray, Ellenson, and Brunson.

Easily my favorite event where all the different talents show out. Looking forward to it.

Thon Maker. Want to see if he gets thrown around or not.

George Lucas. Great tools, interested to see how athletic/smart he is.

Isaiah Briscoe. The #1 PG in this class but he looks so damn flawed.

No-Man · Post #11 » by **No-Man** » Tue Mar 10, 2015 7:25 pm

I am mostly interested in Lucas because he is the only one with a shot at making a big jump this year.

Yeah i wanna see how to peg that kid. I can't get a good feel for him and i think this setting may tell a lot.

No Furkan Korkmaz, Okben Ulubay and Egemen Guven? Aren't those guys considered as 1st and 2nd round picks in the 2016 draft? Are they too old? I think they are all born in 96/97

good question. maybe prior engagements?

Looking forward to seeing my fellow New Zealander Tai Wynward. He committed to Kentucky a few weeks ago for the 2016 class and he's only 16. He's thinking about reclassifying to play next season.

i am also shocked!at least i have expected one of them in that case egemen guven. Considering that Korkmaz could play next year with the croatian wonderkid dragan bender

looking at the teams in your profile i can't say im surprised by that selection lol.

but yeah it'll probably be him or Ben in this setting. Should be fun.

Peno is a really nice prospect, skilled with good size for his position. Looked good in the 17s game vs USA this past summer.

surprised the big greek seven footer isn't on the world team, (papa something?, c/o 2015)
