why not just make it a list of who's in in general and not just early entrants. somebody did something like this last year too. Throw seniors like Norman Powell, Jerian Grant, Delon Wright, Frank Kaminsky, on the list too.

From Brazil, George Lucas is entering and apparently he's on the rise. His athleticism is impressing people.


Steve Kyler, whoever that is, reported Christian Woods is also preparing for the draft.

Vaughn denied the reports on twitter.

The Frazier decision was a bit of a shock, but i can understand it. The PG play this season was horrible, and it had a big effect on his season. He's 6"4 but has a good 6"9 wingspan. Not an impact defender, but does enough to not be a total sieve.

He'll light it up from 3-point land in the workouts.

Not surprised, in the mindset that he should return but I can understand the decision.

RJ Hunter also declared and THAT i agree with.

I would be weary on vaughn AND hunter as 2g prospects. Vaughn got his numbers, but lord was his team ( which was stacked with talent) terrible. How much of that is on dave rice? who knows. Maybe vaughns game translates better at the pro level, but he honestly does nothing else than score the ball. a volume scorer. maybe a second round flier

I'm not sure what this rj hunter hype is about, looks like a serious bust. He hoisted 7.5 threes a game and shot 30% , not sure whats going on over there. Seems like pops gave him the greenlight lmao. if you are in a terrible conference and you have below a 40 FG% as a 6'6 shooting guard, you are not an nba prospect. His FT numbers are misleading because he is playing in the sun belt. its not a good sign if you get worst from frosh to junior year.

I am a fan of frazier, gifted shooter with nice ATH/body for the league. highly coachable

Had an off year from distance due to the attention he draws which also led to an uptick in assist and further explains why he gets to the line like he does. When left to his vices the kid can shoot.

Flipside of that is the NBA isn't the Sun Belt meaning RJ won't have to create his own looks or be the focal point of the defense because well frankly who the hell is this kid. He should get better looks of less attention and play a floor spreading, move without the ball, catch and shoot weapon.

Completely different role from what he had in college which should open up chances for him.

If you're gonna be concerned about him be concerned on the other end of the floor. Kid is a twig and is gonna have problems getting bodied on drives, fighting through screens, and probably post ups as well.

Elfrid Payton played in the Sun Belt last year and was a lotto pick. Damian Lillard came from the Big Sky. Kevin Martin played at Western Carolina. You can't look at the league they play in, look at the tools they possess.

RJ can handle, pass, shoot and defend. He needs to get MUCH stronger, but the tools are there for him to be a starting caliber SG. He has size and length as well. If Spurs are keeping their pick, I'd love to see them take him or Rondae Hollis-Jefferson.

Waffle colored, curly hair, and wear 22.

RJ is Barnes before he finally got a chance to leave home and get tats and a tan.
