Do you think Okafor/Embiid or MCW/Mudiay would fit and play well along side each other?

I don't think either of those pairings would be ideal, although I don't think the Sixers will let fit be much of a deciding factor.

think okafor is the best center but he he could work out as a pf for 76ers LAL or OKC to replace perkins

I think Twolves target Porzingas if they miss out on Okafor and Towns

Very good mock. But I can not wrap my head around the Caulie-Stein love. The teams that pick in the top 6 will have tanked a season to get a young Samuel Dalembert.

Russell over Hezonja?

Thanks. I agree to the extent that he has solid physical talents, but I don't really see him with the mindset of a top player. I do predict he will go in the top eight or so, and that the team that selects him will likely be disappointed.

Hezonja is another guy who I worry about mentally. I would consider them on the same tier at the moment.

The thing about Cauley is he has gotten better, the light turned on this season. On a team full of pros, he is the best player right now. He steps into the NBA with enough athleticism to defend the Dwight Howards of the world. His offense is steadily improving.

I really like Ulis, but he doesn't have a shot at the first round this season.

At his size, he needs to show a ton of offensive and defensive ability to convince scouts he can run an NBA team. He won't get the chance to run the show this season at UK due to Andrew Harrison + platoon.

Anybody with any sense can see that Ulis belongs on the court and should be the primary caretaker of everything basketball on the floor for Kentucky instead of a Harrison of any kind. Im sure Cal knows this to which is why Ty got the call down the stretch against Louisville. I'll give Cal credit for wanting to keep the twins confident and passified. That's all that is at this point.

You're right about Ty's first round potential though. Too damn small which is a shame because the kid can definitely play. I wasn't sure he could overcome the size issue at all to play in the league before the year started. I can see backup now. Not as dynamic as a Robinson or Thomas better floor general though could grab more minutes once he gets a chance to show his bucket making and bucket creating potential.

Yeah, from watching him early on, he definitely has a shot at the NBA. He's really skilled. The vision and passing instincts separate him from Nate and Thomas.

Next season should be the season he has the keys to the offense.

He's already one of my favorite college players. Just love watching him play.

yeah its between him, Tyus, and Jah for me.

The way Tyler took control during the Louisville game was magnificent. Could clearly see the Harrison's didn't need to be on the ball. They couldn't break the zone or move the ball beyond swinging it side to side along the perimeter, didn't know how to handle Louisville's press, couldn't dribble against Jones or Rozier.

Tyler got the offense set, the press beat, the ball below the free throw line, and bothered Jones and Rozier enough to disrupt what the Cards wanted to do.

Also THAT lil mafukka is tough. Took the elbow shot from Rozier got his $h!t split and got right back in there and pressed him up, played with it the rest of the game. All the while Chris Jones is out there flopping to phantom elbows Dakari Johnson didn't throw.
