I saw that too. Could be the shirt he was wearing, but he looked thicker in the upper body. Like a legit SF.

Yeah he looked physically ready for the league. I think they play again today so i'm gonna take a closer look but he looked massive compared to what i've seen from him in the past. Shooting stroke finally lived up to billing in the last game, if that's consistent, if this size is real, and if he learns how to use it going to the cup that wagon could be ready for some hitching.

He does look bigger.

Svi is bigger, making beautiful passes and shooting it at a solid clip. Good glue guy for KU right now. Think he is still a year away when he'll be a primary handler (hopefully) for KU.

Speaking of KU. Cheick Diallo is cleared to play and will debut on the 1st.

Lydon of Syracuse has been a pleasant surprise.

Robert Carter is underrated, great mobility and strength, can score from 3 and switch, he is going to be a player

Melo Trimble is on fire

Second time I've watched him this year and he looks really good. Reminds me a bit of Millsap.

So far the players are living up the hype of this upcoming draft expecting to be one of the worse ones we have seen in awhile. There looks to be one legit prospect in Simmons and he probably won't be able to score in the half court for a long time. This is going to be a really bad draft class especially it being sandwiched between this past years and what 17 is looking like. If you can't draft Simmons, try your best to trade those draft pick for future years.

Bender is handsdown the best prospect in terms of upside for me, but yeah, it is not looking good, and it does look difficult to predict, a lot of late picks could become better than top ones.

Any thoughts on this Dwayne Bacon kid?

RSCI:16

Looks like he could become a monster in the right situation

What does his NBA timeline look like in terms of when he would come over?

If he is a top3-5 pick, like he would, he is coming right away, his mentor and Maccabi president, former croatian stud Vujcic said so at least.

DX updated their mock fyi.

Newman, Stone shouldn't be in anyones first round to this point IMO. Svi finally looks like a rotation guy and this is the second year in a row that DX is forcing him into their first round, but they should let that dream go and save it for next year. How about putting a more deserving guard like Pat McCaw in there?

Valentine at 16? no comment.

They finally got Wade Baldwin in the first round which is good. Still think Taurean Prince is being underrated.

I like Simmons, Rabb, Bender, Dunn, Poeltl, Brown the most out of this draft so far. Others such as Grayson Allen (if he declares), Demetrius Jackson of Notre Dame, Wade Baldwin, and Valentine out of MSU could play a role on winning teams as well, it seems. The rest, Skal, Murray, Ingram, etc. need more seasoning imo.

Both Ivica Zubac (C) and Ante Toni Zizic from Cibona Zagreb could declare for this upcoming draft. If they do, both should go late first round and both would be steal, especially Zubac, extremely gifter heavy center with tremendous body, plays really hard.

At what point does Gary Payton II get taken seriously?

Yeah, dude is beasting early on. He could be another advanced stat star like Delon Wright.

The player that people need to be talking about is Jakob Poeltl. The guy is a legit 7 footer that is a very good athlete and he worked his butt off this offseason to add weight and develop a great post game. He has also gone from a terrible free throw shooter to a solid shooter.
