I was saying to one of my buddies who doesn't follow the PAC12 back like like January that Jaylen Nowell might be the best kept secret in college basketball. Well, it seems like that secret is out.

It’s not really a secret, he won PAC12 player of the year. Usually guys who win those awards and are also NBA prospects get drafted around the early 2nd round.

He's top 20 at worst IMO. He's what we all want Kevin Porter, Jr. to be.

X.Johnson Pitt is a first round sleeper if he declares, have not seen him on any big boards.
Seems like a Utah type selection to me.

He’s not that far off. Nowell is ready day 1 to create some offense and play hard both ways. I think a lot of teams wish KP jr was as ready

most people I think have him lotto range but still feels like he's getting really slept on

how many 6'9 240 lbs dudes can grab the board and run like this?

Yeah I can’t figure him out at all. I think I like samanic better and goga. He seems like he should either be 5 or 25 like a lot of this draft and then that video makes me wonder.

I hate only highlight video compared to watching. That’s why I like seeing all your opionions because I only watch so much

^^ no way is Samanic better than Sekou. Goga MAYBE but just a completely different type of player with a higher floor but not nearly the ceiling.

IMO Sekou is comfortably the best Euro prospect this draft.

He’s Pascal Siakam. I’m a huge fan. Think he’s a top 10 pick.

I assume you mean that is his ceiling, because he's far from Siakam currently.

clyde21 · Post #74 » by **clyde21** » Sat Apr 13, 2019 7:45 pm

his ceiling is higher than Siakam's because of the shooting

Yes, Siakam came into the league at 21/22, he’s 18/19 one of the youngest players in the draft.

Is Jordan Nwora declaring?

I think TCU's Desmond Bane is being overlooked. 20/21 yearold junior SG who was TCU's best player this year. Put up
35.5mins: 15.2pts 5.7rebs 2.4asts 1.1stls 1.3tos on 50.2/42.5/86.7.

He's 6'5 215lbs with average athleticism. He's a good shooter and high IQ player. Ball handling is a work in progress, but I would say it's average for a SG.

Desmond Bane is good, but he is not going to be in this draft, grad transferring to IU
