Ulis/Hawkins
Briscoe/Matthews
Poythress
Lee/Willis
Labissiere

That looks like the best team in the SEC to me.

Fisch isn't a big UK guy this conversation will go nowhere.

With Mickey and Martin gone? No chance.

Apparently Monk went crazy at the eybl in Lexington today

EVERYONE...I mean *everyone* is talking about Josh Jackson. I've seen HS Kobe comparisons.

Yeah it seems as if hes really distanced himself from the rest of the class which is pretty damn impressive because it's a pretty elite class at the top at least that's what we've heard since this class have been freshmen..

Unless the other guys at the top aren't as good as we thought but I think it's more a case of Jackson's that good

I just want the kid to stay hungry. I think that's what's happening with a lot of these kids in this era. over exposed and their hype trains can cause complacency. Josh has everything it takes to be an absolute beast of a NBAer. He's got T-Mac potential.

yeah I think its more that Josh is that good.

Dennis Smith
Harry Giles
Jayson Tatum

all want to be special and work and play hard on the court. The fact that Josh out tiers them all fairly easily is a testament to how good he is. He'd more than likely be atop the current crop heading into college now.

Yeah I really hope he goes to college and not overseas like you hear grumbling about..Would really suck if we have to wait an extra year to see him

Josh Jackson is old though so he should look much better than his opposition. He's 19 in October.

even if he were to reclass into his age group where do you think he ranks?

I haven't seen enough of all of them so would only be going off hearsay. Just think it's dangerous to compare him to someone like Harry Giles who was 16 at the start of the week. He's only 6 months younger than Winslow which is mad. 9 months older than Mykhailiuk who has a season at Kansas under him already.

It's not a knock on the kid but definitely something I think can skew things massively at this age. I mean, think about how easily Giles could beat on some 14 year olds.

That's nothing new most elite kids are held back a grade..

His talent speaks for itself..he has that wow factor it doesn't make a difference to me if he's 17 or 18..and he's played great against older class's.

It's not like if he was in the 15' class he wouldn't be elite..in fact I think he's way better then any player in that class right now..

ahh you're right, for some reason DX have him as 18. Not so significant then.

yeah I'd have to agree with this.

Better jumper, than both Jaylen and Ben
tighter handle than both
better passer than Jaylen
good killer instinct.
competes.

Isn't as strong as either kid but his bounce is right on par with theirs and he gets after it on the defensive end with the tools to be a very good defender at any level.

I'd move him into that top spot convo

Yep and it's no disrespect to either of those players I'm fans of both but Josh is scary..

The other two players I want to see this summer are Ayton and Bagley..

Ayton is ranked the #1 player in hs right now that's pretty crazy..and I heard Bagleys a beast for his age

yeah I've read that Bags is killing it so far during his freshman campaign and Ayton has been widely regarded for a minute now as the best pro prospect at the high school level in the country.

heard he bulked up to around 240 now and that was a few months back I think so he may be bigger now. still runs like a gazelle and is adding to his game. he's high on NBA radars already and has about 3 years before he's eligible.

Other than Ulis, Matthews and Willis that team has no capable shooter, Skal has a sweet jumper, but he will be playing Center, the starting lineup is going to be a mess, they should bring Briscoe from the bench.

LSU is deeper, more well balanced, has more veterans and better shooters.
