Future draft classes

Azubuike gets the hype but I think his AAU teammate Wendell Carter looks like the better big man. Can stretch, has better footwork, and is quicker off the floor.

Smooth athlete and good passer already.

Markelle Fultz committed to Washington

finally got a chance to watch Frank Jackson in the elite 24 today and even though its an all-star setting I can see why he received the hype he got over the summer. Smooth, efficient movement. Handles well, sees frames ahead, bouncy, strong, and a good looking stroke. We'll see what happens with the two year mission. kid looks legit to me though.

Kwe Parker picks Rutgers over Wake Forest.

Seems like Harry Giles is a Duke lock, but that could change after he takes his visits.

I think there's a chance Harry Giles, Bam and Smith could team up

He didn't comitt yet did he?

It sounds like he wanted to go to Uk but they started prioritizing Fox more

as well they should. I still haven't really seen the hype with Kobi. You think he's better than Fox?

Speaking of PGs anybody feel like there will be an influx of talent at that position over the next few drafts?

Not that great for 2016 but 2017 looks good and 2018 has some nice talent as well at the position.

Also 2018 looks to be getting stronger in terms of one and done talent.

Ayton, Porter, EJ Montgomery we knew about

Trevon Duvall, Trae Young, Hamidou Diallo, Wendell Carter are all pretty talent in that class as well.

I haven't seen either except for highlights but it sounds like Fox is the superior player and has come on so much this summer that scouts think he has #1 pick potential..

Simmons from what people say has great upside but still hasn't put it all together..I heard his jumpers a real weakness

2017 draft should be loaded with pg's and combo guards

Fox
Smith Jr
Fultz
Monk

The next year you have Duval who people say might be better then all of em

The last All Star PG to be drafted was Lillard in 2012. I don't have much hope for a PG from the drafts since then to become an All Star.

If the next All Star comes from the 2018 draft... that's a big drought.

the next should come from the 2017 class. If Smith bounces back from his injury he's the front runner IMO. Fox should be right there with him though.

Been watching a lot of Duvall. very impressed with his vision, handle, shift, and pace for his age. Explosive enough off the floor, sees everything, isn't rushed, creates space, reads defenses, and he isn't dribbling just because he can everything is processed and calculated. Good size too. Jumper needs consistency but that makes sense considering how his size and handle allows him to get anywhere on the floor. Form is good though. I can see him outshining the previous class' PGs when its all said and done.

Not as fast as Fox or bouncy as Smith or Monk but is purer than all of the aforementioned. Speaking of PURE PGs.

I somehow forgot to mention Troy Brown Jr. who's also in that prospective class with Duvall. Brown hasn't shown the takeover and confidence of a Duvall from what i've seen nor as strong a weak hand either. Great vision, pass first, good size, and looks like he has room to grow.

Wait Kobi has a weak jumper? From what I've seen he seems pretty consistent. Thought his AAU teammate Josh Langford was better. Dude's a pure shooter.

Frank Jackson committed to Duke.

Coach K and his staff are killing the recruiting game these last couple of years.
