Simmons is 19

The more I look at this draft the more I like it. Skal, Simmons, Dunn and Ingram all have superstar potential.

Jamal Murray may make us soon think Russell who??? Murray is a big time scorer in the making.

I still think Dragan Bender rockets up the board as the months go by. And Svi is in this draft too with the Lakers pick in the 5-10 range.

Bender definitely looks like he has a frame to fill out, unlike Kristaps

There are questions about what he can do offensively in the half court. Not really a shooter. Undecided about his scoring skills, gets into the lane at will but can he aggressively attack the rim like the superstars do.

It's going to be a weird year in terms of evaluating Ben Simmons. Because like Jabari Parker, I suspect he's going to be playing exclusively in the frontcourt for his college team.

Anybody keeping tabs with the USA u-19 team? Giles, Jackson, and Tatum are all legit.

Name to keep an eye on: Georgis Papagiannis. Massive Greek center. Could be coming to the states to play college ball this season, probably with St. John's.

I'm looking for Bender to go top 5. I like the top of this draft a year out.

The more I watch Demetrius Jackson the more I think he's going to be a star. A couple weeks ago I had him as my 3rd or 4th ranked PG in the 2016 draft. After watching him a little more, he's probably #1.

He shot 51/42/75 last year with Notre Dame. He defended well, played off ball well (Jerian Grant), and he passed well. I think he'll rise up the draft boards throughout the year like Cameron Payne did. I'd love to see us get him with the Lakers pick.

Jamal Murray will be 2016 D'angelo Russell type prospect.

Kris Dunn needs to be one of our picks in the 1st round. The kid is electric. Extremely athletic, can score as well

Keep an eye on Nik Slavica too, he just had a RIDICULOUS chasedown block on a Tatum dunk. 6'7, athletic, and a good shooter. What in the world are these Croatians eating that make them such good basketball players?

Yeah, Croatia is really starting to churn out a number of basketball prospects. Should be three straight years with lottery selections. Very impressive.

Not familiar with this class but any really nice shooting Point Guards-Steph Curry like in this draft? Lol

Don't even care about this class right now, just excited to see my Terps wreck house!

I'm keeping an eye on Kris Dunn this year.
