Mikey Williams is a midget combo guard with off court issues, i'd be shocked if he was a 1AD

Buzelis and Risacher seem more like the safe bets as the top 2 picks at this early stage because of their skill sets and size.

it's still so early. Him having Holland #1 isn't even top 10 concerning things about this mock. There are any of a dozen guys that could go #1. Not because the draft class is weak as others have laughably claimed but because there's so many talented guys and nobody has separated yet. Because get this...they haven't even stepped foot on campus yet!! I know, crazy. By December there'll be much more visibility with cream rising to the top. Every year these draft "experts" are surprised guys seemingly come out of nowhere to join the fray. Guys will have grown. Guys will be thrust into new roles. Guys will respond to coaching/training. Guys will grow up and mature. If there's already THIS much known talent it's a good sign for this class. Another 1/2 dozen plus guys will rise to replace a 1/2 dozen guys currently found in the first round of many of these mocks.

more Clyde gems

https://thehollywooddigest.com/mikey-williams-18-year-old-basketball-icon-has-pure-success-in-his-future/

sure looks plenty tall enough standing next to SG Wade who is 6'5" in sneakers. oh, and btw, Mikey is a PG. He doesn't have great size for a PG but luckily plenty of smaller PGs have proven it's not as big of an impediment as Clyde seems to think. Lowry, Brunson, Garland, Conley, VanVleet, Isiah, Stockton, Price, CP3, etc. Oh, and you DO realize he's the same height as your boy Scoot right? But unlike Scoot he can actually shoot lmao

Scoot is a true PG and a monstrous 6-3 with a 6-9 wingspan, Mikey is not a PG, and he's barely 6-1 with a **** w/s

I get the feeling that Clyde doesn't have very many friends.

Who cares? It is a forum. I have far more friends and am far less confrontational IRL than on this forum.

Someone can quote me and come back later and hold it over my head or whatever, but Mikey Williams won't get drafted higher or have more success than Scoot Henderson, lmfao.

Just because it’s a forum doesn’t mean it’s ok to treat people like garbage.

I was listening to a podcast the other day...wasn't Barlowe. Forget who it was and they said Mikey Williams is the most underrated prospect in like 10 years. Food for thought

This is what I was thinking. He has a whole series and he's like a very whatever 2 guard in a PG body.

I will be shocked if Mikey Williams is drafted.

lots of people in here better hope he goes to jail and never sees the court for Memphis. Because if he laces them up and plays, he's going to make a lot of them look dumber than they've already proven to be.

you DO realize they've played each other right? That Mikey gave as good as he got? And he's barely smaller than Scoot? I mean, there's quite literally videos of this. It was the biggest game two years ago lmao. Scoot is 6'2" btw

6) No Andrej Stojakovic

seriously wtf is this ha ha ha ha?

Uhh, I'm guessing no one will have Mikey Williams in their early mocks?

https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/36247699/memphis-recruit-mikey-williams-pleads-not-guilty-shooting-case

It's not like he's been amazing in recent years either.

yeah, no recent draft picks have had legal issues...oh wait. He just put up 24-3-9 last season lmao. You chimed in just to post that? gg

This seems incredibly aggressive for "yeah, makes sense for people to leave a small SG off their mocks until we know whether or not he's going to prison"

buzelis is going to fall. just not that good. smart to go g league, however. he would have been exposed badly playing high level d1 ball.
