Thon has to wait I think it's Ben Simmons' turn next on the hype train.

We need to get Thon onto the world cup squad before Team USA turn his head. Has a younger brother too...

Thon is a soph in HS??? Christ on a cross!

Now is the time to start trading for all the first round draft picks we can get for his first year of eligibility for the draft . I'm dead serious , that's the kind of outside of the box thinking the front office needs to build a dynasty type of team !!If we get the number one pick this year trade down to 2,3,or 4 and that teams first round pick the year he is available for the draft,. I think he'll definitely be a one and done in college .

Thon is a perfect example of why the draft eligibility rules need to be changed. You should be able to go straight to the NBA if you want, but if you go to school you have to stay for two years. I have no idea why that isn't the rule, it makes too much sense.

[braindazer]

I sure would like to get another first round pick in the teens to get Payne from Michigan St. .

I didn't realize that photo of Embiid wearing a Bucks shirt was real. I just assumed it was photoshopped. Apparently he's worn it around campus too.

NBA Draft Prospect of the Week: Noah Vonleh
by: Mike Schmitz February 10, 2014

Noah Vonleh is the second youngest prospect (after Aaron Gordon) in this draft class, but still ranks as the #1 rebounder among our top-100 prospects at nearly 15 rebounds per-40 minutes.

With his 7-4 wingspan and terrific 242 pound frame, Vonleh has the body, length and intensity-level needed to compete on the interior in the NBA. He shows some ability to score both inside and out, flashing hook shots over either shoulder and range out to the 3-point line, but does not have the skill-level or aggressiveness needed to be a consistent scorer at the college level yet.

Vonleh has made over half of his 3-pointers on the season, but takes less than one attempt per game, which indicates he still has plenty of work to do in this area. Additionally, he lacks elite explosiveness as a shot-blocker and finisher around the basket, and ranks as one of the poorest passers in this draft class, posting the worst assist to turnover ratio and assist per possession rate, to go along with the third worst PPR, which could be an issue as he transitions from the center spot collegiately to the power forward position in the NBA.

Elfrid Payton is the guy I want at #31.

I'd like to get him and Vasilije Micic in the second round

I really like Vonleh as a prospect. I remember Ford saying he sees some Chris Bosh in him if he can develop a consistent mid range game. He's already shown that he can stretch the floor out to 3-pt range. He can definitely play center in the pros if he just bulks up a little bit, because I don't think his size (6'10) is an issue due to his ridiculous wing span. I'd probably take him over Randle at this point, if picking purely on long term potential.

[buckboy]

I agree. Vonleh is #5 on my board.

Embiid couldn't look more excited to be wearing a Christmas t-shirt.

I liked what I saw from Micic in the DX scouting video they did a couple months back.

[Buckrageous]

Embiid couldn't look more excited to be wearing a Christmas t-shirt.

The Camaroon flag is red, green, and yellow and the national soccer team wears green jerseys with red shorts. He might be the only guy in the draft that wants to be in Christmas colors. Better than even a lake to him hopefully.
