Future Draft Classes (Prospects) II

[peZt]

There is a Turkish kid, born in the US in 2011, moved to Efes in Turkey last season, improved dramatically, both skill wise and physically, and went back to play High School this year. Class of 2030 so not even a freshman yet

According to eurohopes he is the 3rd best european player born in 2011 and some compare him to Cooper Flagg. Not his talent level, but just his movements, body etc. and honestly, I see it

As a Turk, I hope he turns out even just a quarter as good as Flagg

Not much footage of him, only on his own instagram

According to his coach Sean Marshall he‘s the best player of his class in California

You should put the name of the player in your post, I wasn't able to open the link.

Oh yeah sorry, I thought I did

Mehmet Cüneyt Demirözü
But i think in the US he goes by Cuneyt Demirozu

2009' 6'9 PF from Turkey Darius Karutasu. Reminds me of a young Franz Wagner. Watching for 2 years, its crazy how much he improved over the last year. Always a good sign.

Hugo Yimga Moukouri is doing an historical season in France at age 17. Even Victor Wembanyama had lesser offensive impact in France at that age. He's scoring 8.6 ppg in 18 minutes with the second best team in the league (Nanterre).
At almost 6'9 and 6'11 wingspan he's a very physical combo forward, really good on rebounds, especially offensive. This year he became a very confident shooter from 3 (44%) and FT (87%) and still has a very soft touch around the rim. On defense he's very focused despite not making a lot of stocks. He lacks a bit of explosiveness but his lateral quickness is elite.
He must improve his playmaking to be a top pick prospect for the 2027 draft but he is already NBA ready as a 3&D player.
Here are highlights from his last two games

Another Boumtje Boumtje:

American born Rhys Rhobinson skipped US High School and joined Real Madrid's academy. Will have 4 years of european style coaching and develpoment before (probably) going to college. And kid looks like the real deal. 6'7 PG with one of the cleanest jumpers I've ever seen

And a 3rd one on the way? Played a trial tournament for Real Madrid, became MVP and went back to Ohio. But might join full time like Boumtje Boumtje and Robinson

Shot looks sus but it’s accurate:

Very smooth and fluid on the ball with a great first step and some nice hops.

Biggest issue for him right now is the lack upper body strength. It not unusual for a young man after hitting a growth spurt to be rail thin but it's definitely something he's going to have to prioritise going forward.

It's super early of course, but this guy looks like the only 2027 guy with superstar potential. I'm mocking him first.

[ROballer]

Way too early but since he's a romanian and we lack representation..
.

15 yr old Sebastian Lapuste putting up 25/9.5/8.5/ 7 steals and 1 block a game in the U16 Eurobasket.

Against Poland, Turkey, Serbia and Lithuania.

He was 2 ast shy of a quad the game before (got the TD with steals) and 1 ast and 2 stl away from another quad today.

18 steals in the last 2 games.

About 6'3 PG. Might grow since he doesn't turn 16 until the next month.

Probably going to college basketball at some point.

If a guy gets that many steals that alone means he's worth watching, let alone everything else. Nice stuff.

Looks like he did it last year too as a 14 year old.

+1 on Lapuste. Even if he had some turnovers against France, it was mostly when game was done and Romania fought hard to beat Turkey in precednt round (he was probably a bit washed out)

His handle is really good, court vision as well. And physically, his body control is pretty good as well as his shooting mechanics and range. Would be really interesting to see if he develops a midrange game, knowing he attacks the rim pretty well too (with decent % at the rim)

Romania is in division B for the U18 (talking about fiba eurobasket) so he will probably dominate the competition in 2 years (if he plays) unless he plays with their U18 team next year and they win a spot in division A.

Hey. Don't sleep on Haranosy A'ranty whatever from Madagascar. Currently playing u18 afrobasket.

Luka Ukić who is still considerd late bloomer in terms of physical development is started showing of what one scout said few yers ago. He went from 5'9 to 6'3. He is special talent. Won MVP at U16 B division, while also before tournament Croatia played prep Games with Poland, Greece, Lithuania, Germany won them all where Luka averaged over 23 pts and 6 asists. All games games for Croatia were blowouts between 30 and 70pts difference, but after some injuries in finals were finally challenged. Luka deliverd showing clutch hitting game winners 2.8 sec. to go for goold.

He is almost copy of his father Roko who played in NBA and Euroleague, but has shooting touch and much better feal for the game

Jep, that’s a future star right there

Kid looks good for 16.

Duke just landed Luke Paul from Australia. Had a hell of a U17 World Cup where he made the 1st team with his future teammate at Duke JBB

Paul looks great. Unfortunately he's been injured after signing with Cairns Taipans in the NBL. It would have been great to see him in the NBL.

Edit: debut game tonight with the Taipans. Already seems to be comfortable out there.
