Obviously nothing is set in stone but KU is thought to be out in front.


if he reclassifies as he's speculated to do. JoshJack at the 3 and Svi at the 2 or vice versa for that matter would be crazy in transition and pretty deadly on the drive and kick in the halfcourt.

The only thing I've seen involving KU and Jackson is the few people on 247sports that put KU down on their prediction for him. Those were made several months ago. Jackson's recruitment has been really tight lipped. I expect Michigan to be a threat as well as the normal blue bloods.

KU could have a monster class in 2017 though. One player mentioned on here is Troy Brown. He has strong ties to KU as his sister just finished her freshman season at KU. He's visited KU and is close to the staffs. Brown just got done being one of the best players at the LeBron Camp. Also Cody Riley is from the Kansas City area (moved out to California a few years ago) and his family grew up Kansas fans. Riley is top 10 in 2017. And then local kid Mitchell Ballock from Eudora, KS is considered one of the best shooters in the class of 2017 and a top 50 recruit in that class. He just got done making a big name for himself at the Durant Camp.

Just got caught up on Troy Brown recently. Landing him and Riley would be fantastic. Brown is turning into one of my favorite PG prospects. I love tall PGs with good/great vision, kid looks like he really enjoys dropping dimes and has a solid J to go along with it.

So apparently Troy Brown and DeAndre Ayton showed out at Lebron camp and looked pretty damn impressive.

Also Stanley Johnson's defense apparently pissed Bron Bron off a little.

I have been watching some highlights, yes its just highlights and I will catch all of them there senior year this upcoming year but I have to say there are alot of promising guys coming up the next few years. The 2016 draft looks very good to me. Malik Newman looks like a stud, Jaylen Brown a beast and then a ridiculous amount of quality bigs.

IMO, these next couple of drafts are going to be stocked with Big Man talent. Finally some good draft classes

Yeah if they all pan out the next 3 to 4 years should add a very good amount of talent to the league.

Just watched some Jaylen Brown film and god, i'm impressed. His physical tools are nearly perfect for a wing and his skill level looks to be catching up really nicely. Also love his agression and competitive spirit. Am i exaggerating by having him as the #1 player of the 2015 class?

Not at all. It's been mentioned a few times in this thread that he has the potential to be just that. There's an article that mentions him as a kid that could have been a top ten pick this past June if the option were available for him.

Only top 10? Again, i may be exaggerating, but i think he's right up there with Jabari and Wiggins as a prospect. Not Embiid because i think he's in a class of his own.

Yeah ManRam and I had that same discussion a few pages back we couldn't find anything that separated Wiggins and Parker as prospects either except college experience. You're right on track with some other's opinions of him. Kid is a stud and wants to be great.

He's making his college decision this summer, right? I just hope he doesn't end up in Kentucky, i would hate seeing him get "coached" by Calipari.


Also, how's Harry Giles doing after the torn ACL? Haven't really seen him after that.

yeah he's supposed to pick sooner rather than later.

haven't heard much about Harry. I know he's back on the court but he's not 100% just yet.

Jaylen Brown is an Adidas guy but all the experts have UK but UGA and UCLA seem right there.

On another note, I use 247 composite but I find myself liking 247 individual rankings > all others, outside of a few guys being too low (Justin Simon, Prince Ali)

247 guys predict UK. Rivals guys have said they believe he likes UCLA the most. Apparently they get the most reaction out of him when he's talking about UCLA. And Georgia is definitely dangerous.

I have only seen highlights but looks like a taller and bigger Stanley Johnson. Orlando I think would have taken him 4th over Aaron Gordon

I'm really excited to track 2016 Kostas Antetokounmpo at Dominican HS out in Wisconsin next year.

same height 17lbs lighter. Stan backed him down fairly easily on the blocks when they faced off in camps. Its one of the things Jaylen said he needs to work on is lower body strength. But Jaylen is more skilled than Stanley right now and projects to be the better pro.

But yeah Jaylen could have arguably been the first wing off the board this year and if not definitely would have taken Double Zeros spot in the draft.
