YOU SIR, are a jewel. JEWEL I SAY.

Jaylen so damn strong and explosive. that catch and shoot looks gorgeous. feet set high catch and release, str8 up and down you can see the work put in. like the change of pace on the break too. can stop and restart the locamotive when he needs to seems like.

Josh Jackson really is 6-8 now. Man, I wish Michigan kids actually wanted to stay in-state.

Josh speculated to come back right? Michigan isn't completely out the mix just cause he's headed to cali?

No, we are. He told an insider "no,not really" when asked if he had interest. Maybe MSU but probably KU, UK, UCLA, ARIZ etc..

damn. well at least there's another rep for the state once he hits the league.

Schools that pay higher salaries

Speaking of Michigan saw jalen Coleman on the peach jam stream that dude can shoot the **** out of the ball he'd be a great fit at Michigan

I really like both as prospects. Jaylen is so dominant out there. Guys likes these two and Stanley will make up for the dearth of wing talent we've had in these past couple of drafts. They put in work simple.

Malik Monk went for 40, after going for 59 in regular season EYBL.

Wasn't it 39 since he missed the last free throw?

I was going off Jeff Goodman's tally

Allonzo Trier topped Monk's 40 with 42 points. Nowhere near Monk's efficiency though, was 10-30 from the field.

Hey ManualRam,

Do you think Karl Towns can play full time SF? FWIW, he's seems to be more skilled than Wiggins at the SF position. Just not that quick and explosive obviously.

no way. i think he'll even have trouble guarding PFs given his lateral quickness.

I also feels the same way. But maybe it's because Towns is trying to add weight to play the C and that's why he seems slow. Not sure. Anyway, thanks for the reply.

even before he started putting on weight he was still heavy footed, like literally. he had underdeveloped legs and boats for feet. he looks a legit 7' tall now and he looks like he could still grow into his feet.

U17 tryout roster is loaded http://www.usab.com/mens/u17/roster.aspx

first: is it going too far to call Ben Simmons a poor man's Grant Hill as Josh Jackson is considered TMac with less length?

second: somewhere in this thread Cliff Alexander was compared to Ben Wallace defensively and I could see it as far shot blocking at the level he played and his high energy and whatnot but parts of me was still skeptical which led to some Ben Wallace highlight watching. I remember seeing the guy and knowing he was all energy, bounding, and volley ball spiking at the rim on defense but I COMPLETELY FORGOT how explosive dude was in doing so.

obviously it depends on how Cliff performs on the college level and if he can bang with similar size as he dominated the high school level but I can see a Ben Wallace esque path for Cliffy if the post and jumper don't really work out for him. There's room to grow for Cliffy to where this doesn't have to be his ceiling but the energy, blocking hunting, and activity on the glass is all there already.

Ben Wallace could switch on to guards.. does Cliff have the lateral quickness and foot speed for that?
