You guys think Eason is gonna be there in the 20s? I'd be ecstatic if so, but dude has mid to late-lotto written all over him.

Christian Koloko seems like a smart, long defender with some good instincts on the glass.

Haven't watched Arizona prior to now and he hasn't been a big part of the offense but I generally like what I see

He's like a poor-man's Mark Williams (Duke). Excellent rim defender, but awfully raw on offense.

I'm not a fan. Real strong build, but he's short for a 2 and a very inconsistent shooter. Good defender but doesn't stand out, imo. But Coach K seems to like him more than Griffin.

Griffin is the one I think has a chance to be the most impactful NBA player on that team. I know Paolo is going top two, but he has a lot of that Tatum ISO to get long twos in him and doesn’t just attack the rim. AJ’s game is built for the modern NBA. Amazing shooter from deep who attacks the rim if he doesn’t have an open look. Only question is will he be able guard quick NBA wings.

K likes Keels more because of his D. He is a really good college defender. His height might prevent that in the nba. Guys will just shoot over him.

UWM got doubled by Northern Kentucky tonight. 8 points in 30 minutes for PBJ. His draft stock should rightfully take a hit

He'd be a great get, and I think he could slide to about 20 - but not quite to the Bucks' pick. Notice he made both of his 3's in their last game. If he can convince folks he can make a good percent of his 3's, he's a lotto pick.

Walker Kessler... best shot-blocker that's been in college hoops in a long time. Averaging 7.4 blocks per 40 and even gets 1.6 steals. Auburn uses the same kind of D that Milwaukee uses - funneling the offense into the center. Offensively, he's a master pick setter at 7'1 245. He's a more dominant college player than Jabari Smith.

DX has really been pushing David Roddy and I have to admit, he's pretty awesome. Like a thick Dillon Brooks.

I was just looking at him an hour ago. He doesn't fit any "archetype" as a 250 lb guard, but he sure plays well. I'm guessing he slides to the 2nd round because people just don't know what to make of him - including me.

He doesn't play like him, but his body type and air of confidence reminds me of PJ Tucker.

From this point on I’m a Fanbo fanboy.

So... Oscar Tshiebwe. Basketball is a game of matchups, and he completely out-classed one of my favorite players last night Tari Eason. But he does that to everyone - physically manhandles them. He might be the best rebounder I've ever seen - vice grips for hands. Like David Roddy, he doesn't fit an archetype - just plays basketball really well.

Put up 30 today, albeit in a loss. Didn't watch, but did you catch this one?

I did not, but I'm impressed that he scored the 30 without turning the ball over, plus 18 boards, 3 blocks, a steal, a couple of assists. Dude is a player.

Checking out OSU to get a better feel for Liddell's progress and discovered I really like Branham. Reminds me a lot of Keldon Johnson. Would be very happy with him. Good length, very strong, smooth shot with good touch, can get downhill and surprise you with his pop off one leg.

Liddell and Branham both had off games against Maryland last weekend. I'm surprised MD was able to handle Liddell so easily, because they've been destroyed twice by Keegan Murray. But Murray's a guy who just doesn't have off-games - an amazingly focused player.

I really like Jaylin Williams. He's like a 6-10 Kenrich Williams. Great recognition on both ends, team player.

Our own Mikal Bridges if he falls into our range (and we don't trade the pick).

Is Cliff Omoruyi draftable?

Those last 2 stats at the beginning make me highly doubt it. He doesn't make his 3's and his FT's. Also, he doesn't look as strong as Bridges. He looks like he could become a solid defender, but Bridges was always a stud defender.
