PF Draft prospects

Do you guys have some PF prospects we could keep our eyes on through the rest of the year? Hansbro has been playing well when he gets minutes but he seems more like a fringe starter.

Watched some of J.Johnson out of Purdue, seems very good offensively but real skinny.

Marcus Morris out of Kansas also good O but looks kinda small ( not sure how big he really is he just looks alittle small).

Who are some guys that have peaked your interest?

If Tyler plays half as good as he did last night he will be a fine starter. Ive heard this years draft is weak, Larry basically always drafts the "best available" player anyways

I would try to stay with PF or SG. I am not sold that Paul George will be a shooting guard down the line but a SF. They shouldn't be picking guys for depth though, you can sign guys to do that and we should pick for best available out of those 2 positions. Worst case, is we have a trade chip on our hands. I do like several guys outside the top 6-8 where i don't think we will get... like Donatas Motiejunas, Trey Thompkins, Jan Vesely, Lucas Nogueira, Bojan Bogdanovic and Brandon Knight. I don't think Knight will be a point guard in the NBA, i see him more like a Eric Gordon. Guy who can handle the ball but is score first.

Quite simply, we should take the BPA. Maybe trade up or down a bit if there's a guy we really feel is underrated, but I don't want to pick a guy based on position. We are a young team and we need a star if we can get one. Take the BPA, if he's playing behind one of our other guys and he's good enough to start, trade our current guy.

draftexpress has long been my go to site to rank draft prospects.

^^^ I couldn't find Jordan Williams on their mock. Here we have a sophomore averaging 18/12 for Maryland. 6'10"/ 260 lbs. He is definitely worth a look if we draft around 15th.

they have Williams at 70 on their list of 100 top prospects.

I honestly didn't think this would be a serious thread in January.... but it appears we may all start scouting and posting about prospects again.... too bad.

I'm on the BPA train. This class has been called weak to average. We might get a steal at 15 instead of trying to fish around a depleted PF class depending on how the others above us pick.

I think we'll be top 8 this year. We just play terrible under JOB.

That is way too low. His averages are better than Sullinger's and he does it in the ACC.

Based of DraftExpress we can sign him as an undrafted f/a, works for me. At nine I wouldn't want him anyway, maybe Derrick Williams is a possibility between 6-10.
