I bet Cash Considerations is ranked higher on the Jazz's board.

I'm watching the game now. WOW! Zion is freakishly freaky even compared to other freaky athletes... and Barrett is not far back.

The top of this draft class might not be as bad as I previously thought.

They are incredibly intense on the court, Barrett and Zion in particular look like they live to compete. Good kids off the court from what I’ve read as well.

Yep, they are competitors. Unlike Reddish... he seems to float a lot. This is the same thing I've heard from other people and the same thing I've seen when I've watched him in the Hoop Summit and other similar events... but he's damn talented too.

There is this kid that is a late bloomer named Nassir Little (UNC) who some people think might be in contention for the no. 1 pick along with Zion and Barrett.

Yeah, that’s what I gathered from the hoop summit as well. The talent level looked terrible because Zion was injured and Reddish was invisible.

Zion’s got to be one of the most interesting prospects ever. He’s just a different type of physical specimen and combines that with skill and great intangibles. I think he’ll go number 1.

Gobert for the pick that gives you Zion. Take it or leave it right now, this moment?

Look at this freshman from LSU guys:



Looks VERY intriguing. I need to watch a full game of his.

These videos are very interesting indeed. Reid looks like has a herky-jerky game and good imagination in looking for the basket and making shots. Some of his movement are awkward but he has good recognition of his situation and a knack for taking and making unorthodox shots for a big. That's my take from these highlights.

As for Bol, I was surprised by the form and smoothness of his jumper. Definitely worth following both, thanks for sharing.

This class might turn out to be better than I anticipated... at least at the top 6-7...

Watch for Romeo Langford. Not many people talking about him, but he's very interesting to me. Freshman wing from Indiana with size and good skill level.

Good news boys the top 10 of this upcoming draft is looking incredible. Potentially elite wing prospects and elite bigs to choose from. So far Bol is the player that has really jumped off the screen to me besides Zion.

I would call Grimes a PG.

And this kid Ja Morant is turning people's heads.

Not 2019 but oh well... here's a highschooler with a 360 between the legs dunk:

I'm really starting to like Cam Johnson from North Carolina. He isn't worthy of being taken where we will likely be drafting but for a late 1st or early 2nd he would be an excellent pick. He has great size for a wing and can really shoot the ball.

He has a nice future but it is just the highlights as of now. Still a major project to this point.

The way he moves and plays reminds me of Nerlens Noel

We are beginning to see some sleeper prospects emerge for this draft. I love what I am seeing from Jarret Culver.
