Ball's vision is on it's own level. I can't believe how good of a passer he is.

Fox is guaranteed to be at least a solid nba player. I can tell he has that drive just from listening to post game interviews. He absolutely hates losing. I'm confident he'll develop a jumper.

Monk's heating up. Just blocked Ball's weird jump shot too.

Monk turning it on now. Had a nice defensive play on Ball and then immediately got a layup on the other end

Fox is playing lights out as well

Such a good game

I think Adebayo might be the best big man in the draft. Almost by default really, but he is just tenacious in all aspects of the game

If the 76ers do not get in the top three, Fox or Monk would work.

Fox could take off in the NBA. What a backcourt U.K. Has.

If there were ever a better example of a player playing his way into the NBA Draft, it is South Carolina's " Sindarius Thornwell " I checked both DX abd NBADraft.net, and neither had Thornwell anywhere in their top-60 draftees. But man, this guy can play. He has South Carolina close to the Elite-8. Guarantee you if he keeps this up, he might be a great 2nd round gamble...maybe for us. :D


Kobble has been a big tout of him,Dozier and SC in general all year. Kid can def play, I'd take him if he was available in the 2nd.

Fox is sick. If he develops an adequate 3-ball he's a superstar.

Not as quick/fast and not the same level passer.....but yea, he's got some upside and attacks the PNR in a similar fashion.

I'd feel better about Fox improving his jumper if he shaved his head. That fro is altering his shot.

Fox still wouldn't work. Awesome with the ball, but not exactly a good fit on the team that does nothing but pass nonstop and has playmakers as is. He's made for any team that needs a lead guard though that will just let him handle the ball nonstop.

Yeah look at Elfrid Payton

I think projects better than Payton does but I think he will never really be a jump shooter or even enough to be threatening as a jump shooter

But he is a guy who steps up when you need him to.

I usually dislike Coach K teams but I liked this Kentucky team because they are actually players who play well off each other and just happen to have 3 most likely lotto picks starting

If anyone is John Wall, it's Dennis Smith. Same is not better speed and explosion. Good set-up guy, and a NBA ready Body already.
