It is insanely bad, not only he has a few guys way too high, he also has many guys that likely wont declare in there, and others really low.
I cant believe this guy gets paid to do this as an insider.

I like it and it's the most realistic mock that I have seen to date. It's the only mock that I've seen that has both Dejounte Murray and Grayson Allen as 1st round picks and Jamal Murray ahead of Kris Dunn. I currently view all of those moves as basic to comprising a respectable mock.

Ellenson must be Kevin Love, he's white and makes attempts 3s

Bender is shooting 48% from 3?

Yup, he only has made around 12 threes in total I think though, so low volume.

Murray at 4th is a major question mark, Ellenson at 5th also, like those picks are make or break type of picks that get people fired if they bust, there are guys with both higher ceilings and floors available, making those type of picks unless you have a hint of what the future holds is just dumb on all levels.

No, he's not. It's clearly a made up number.

He shot 2-8 (25%) from 3 in Euroleague.

http://www.euroleague.net/competition/players/showplayer?pcode=004549&seasoncode=E2015

He shot 0-4 (0%) from 3 in Eurocup (2nd-tier European league that is under Euroleague level).

http://www.eurocupbasketball.com/eurocup/competition/players/showplayer?pcode=004549&seasoncode=U2015

He is shooting so far 17-37 (45.9%) from 3 in Israeli League.

http://basket.co.il/PlayerPage.asp?PlayerNumber=03&TeamId=950&cYear=2016&lang=en

That adds up to 19-49, or 38.8%.

US sports media making up fake stats numbers for players overseas is very common. And yes, they make the stats up, because as I showed, they are very readily available and very easy to find in English. With just a very quick Google search, Ford could have found out the real stats. But that would not fit into the ESPN hype agenda.

With that said, he is definitely a pretty good shooter. But no way he is that good of a shooter as 48%. Especially when you consider that in Euroleague and 2nd-tier level Eurocup, he shot 2-12 (16.7%).

He was taking into account only Bender's israeli league numbers and he did write his report before his numbers changed, when Bender had scored 12 3s in the Israeli League he had that %

That's called fake hype and an agenda. You can't pretend the only games he plays in are the Israeli League games, and then just claim he shot 48% from 3 on the season. To 99% of the people reading that, and probably more like 99.9% of the people reading that, they will think he shot 48% for the whole season.

That is the definition of hype, propaganda, and agenda. Something ESPN does all the time it seems in all sports coverage.

It's a hype job, but at least it's from a 3 point line that's closer NBA distance. I hate it when people automatically anoint top college 3 point shooters only to find that their shot doesn't translate to the NBA like Nik Stauskas for example.

Thomas Bryant is a below average athlete in the pro's and has little fundamentals. 4 year player or should be.

I like him though.

Pretty good.

I sure hope the Nugs could grab jaylen brown there

I like the Spurs picking Zimmerman there too.

I like ellenson and the Washington guys slot so I'm not as surprised as some

Man after watching him today Pistons should take a gamble on Labissiere if he is there. His shot blocking and mid range game would be a nice fit.

Someone is gonna gamble on Skal...
When it is all said and done, he could go as high as 3
