Good to see my old high school still producing elite athletes. It used to be mainly track, but now with 2 back to back championships, let's hope Pickering keeps it up with basketball with Joseph leaving for Minnesota. Hope he does well.

Looking good so far with 2 drives to the hoop

Just search for Nike and you'll find it.

That tall and long french kid seems like a really great player but he needs to add a lot of muscle and that dunk by DeRozan was disgusting.That 7'4 Serbian kid is wayyyyy too slow for the NBA

[Jonathan Watters]

Ajinca looks much improved. A dead ringer for Lamarcus Aldridge with his length, body type, skillset, and the way he moves.

[Jonathan Watters]

Serge Ibaka is extremely raw, but an Amare Stoudemire/Sean Williams level athlete. Should be interesting to see where he goes.

[Cruel_Ruin]

Who's the better leaper, Ibaka or DeRozan?

[DDV]

ive only seen this class this game and a few exhibiiton games but is it safe to say that this class doesnt have nearly the depth and star power nba potential wise the last two classes have?

derozan and evans at times are the only two guys who have that wow factor and look like nba players already

[Jonathan Watters]

Who's the better leaper, Ibaka or DeRozan?

Well, hard to really compare. DeRozan is a shooting guard in the mold of an early Vince Carter, while Ibaka is a big in the mold of the bigs mentioned above.

Obviously DeRozan has the better vertical, but I'd say they are quite similar if you want to look at where each would rank at their respective positions.

You don't see very many athletes of this caliber at either position...

yup, i think monroe though is the most talented of this class but he just doesnt know how to use his talents yet. he could be better than even jeff green and samuels i think is getting underrated when it comes to draft talk. Samuels has a great motor, good body control, strength, a little bit raw when it comes to moves, but he can bully anyone and is perfect when in position. this class is def not that great as the last two, but yet people are going to be hyping it up like they are because they were spoiled by last years class. If Jennings could beef up and play some D, the kid could be a top 5 PG in the NBA in 5 years. next years class is much better. 3 real game changers in stephenson, favors, and sidney.

Negedu is an intriguing player for the international squad. He's made some sick blocks

Greg Monroe continues to look like a joke of a #1 overall rated prospect.


Derozan may be the star of this class. But I haven't seen Evans play yet.


Oh and Ajinca showed some range on a jumper but they haven't really been giving him the ball.

[Jonathan Watters]

Another undeniably LA move from Anjinca. It rolled in and out, but how high he shoots it and the phenomenal touch he has on the ball...

tyerke evans remidns me of jamal crawford

Thats a bad thing though

[Cruel_Ruin]

Ajinca is everywhere with his length.

Thats a bad thing though

that is true

[DDV]

derozans really imrpessing me

i expected him to be some raw athlete who needs to improve his skill level but his jumper looks pretty solid

thats a pretty scary combination of skill and athletic ability at his age
