yeah that don't look 270. Looks like he could be more athletic than he's shown in the past.

Also, have you guys discussed Cliff Alexander?

I believe so back on page one and here and there throughout.

Cliff's a active energetic big, likes to bang, contest all shots around the cup, has good timing with his shot blocking, dunks everything, needs to work on his jumper and expand his post moveset. I'm interested to see what he does at Kansas this year and i think he projects to be a 4 in the NBA because of his height.

I agree with this analysis. Similar to slightly better Tristan Thompson or Amir Johnson?

Even a better comparison. Since I'm a Cavs fan, I don't really watch Favors much. Who would you compare Ivan Rabb and Stanley Johnson to? I see Rabb as a mini JO and Stanley as poor man's Tmac. What are your thoughts?

Stan is def more Artest than a poor man's T-Mac. Stan doesn't have the skill or athleticism of T-Mac. Josh Jackson is more T-Mac in terms of how smooth he plays. Stan is a wrecking ball type, he's gotten better at creating and improved his jumper. I like the Artest comparison though especially in terms of effort strength and how hard he plays. Stan is non-stop and gives you everything all the time.

For Rabb I like the Jermaine O'Neal comparison ManRam gave earlier in this thread. Rabb is one of my favorite high school prospects right now. dude is legitimately equally effective with the right or left hand has added Dirk's flamingo fadeaway, good passer out the post, incredible on the block i absolutely love his post game, timing on his shot blocking is crazy, i just hope the kid can gain some weight cause he'll need it to bang in the league.

Who will make a better pro between Jackson and Brown? I feel they'll both be good but not as good as the number 1 overall pick in 2014.

I think Josh if he can add weight. he's longer, more athletic, better handle, shot, very good defensive potential, they're both pitbull competitors, Josh just has to gain weight and perhaps fix the arch on his shot. It drops but its very awkward release wise.

I think until Drew tighten his handle and can change directions the way Josh does I can't see what makes him that much better than Josh if at all.

I have a better comparison for Johnson: K Leonard from San Antonio. They are both really good rebounders.

johnson has more developed ball skills than kawhi at an earlier age. he's already comfortable handling the ball, slashing and carrying defenders to the cup. johnson is an absolute load with a head of steam.

Thanks man, i've been dying to see Harry since his injury. Heard that Jayson Tatum looked absolutely dominant, had 29 points. Can't find the game though

They'll be streaming the games here as well: http://www.d1circuit.com/

Today there's Malik Newman vs Malik Monk, but i don't know the teams they're playing for :/

doesnt have the back to the basket jump hook game or bulk that young webber did.
before his knee injury the name garnett was being thrown about because of his face up skill,sf-like handle, hands, shooting stroke and passing ability. young garnett was a super intense defensive beast too which i don't see out of giles yet. young kg was more explosive too imo.
