i wish. just hightlight clips on the tube and a rafter cam view broken up into pieces of the exhibition game he played in against the North Carolina men's team before this season started. Kid put up like 20 and 18 or 15 and 18 or something STUPID like that for a 16 year old kid playing againt DIVISION ONE COLLEGE PLAYERS. but yeah hoping to get down to Diego to catch a game sometime before he leaves Balboa.

his gait in the videos is so f*ckin gazellian its hilarious.

get some fire and footwork into that kid and hey zues christo we could be looking at something really REALLY special.

how many one and done prospect you guys think are currently on the HS circuit?

going down the next 3 classes there's a decent number but also a lot of maybes in there too.

pretty much set in stone

Ivan Rabb
Jaylen Brown
Ben Simmons
Malik Newman
Dwayne Bacon (because he'll be old as f*ck for freshman)
Josh Jackson
Harry Giles
Dennis Smith
Jayson Tatum
DeAndre Ayton

do kids like

Diamond Stone
Stephen Zimmerman
Henry Ellenson
Udoka Azubuike
Derryck Thornton
Lonzo Ball
Brandon Ingram

fall into that category?

anybody else im missing that you guys think are one and done prospects?

based solely on athleticism at this point? what else have you seen that makes them one and done prospects?

Monk in on the fence for me i know the jumper has improved still lacks consistency and he's working on PG skills as well. what else does he bring to the table?

I know Porter can fly and has that jumper im just skeptical on kids in his class outside of Ayton and want to give them time or else i would have mentioned Porter, Troy Brown, and probably Zach Brown given his size and banking on development.

I love Ferg think he has 3&D potential in the league. just not sold on one and done on him quite yet. But i said the same about Russell when the season started and look how that's turned out.

They do have a lot of question marks and may not be ready after one year but so do alot of freshmen one and dones..

I just think the players I mentioned have big enough upsides that they'll be lotto picks after one year and leave..

question for you regarding a couple High Schoolers.

How do you think Luke Kennard and Isaiah Briscoe look as pro prospects?

definitely athletic and the stroke looks pure. Lets see what happens going forward.

Jamal Murray has supposedly made huge strides as a playmaker to go along with that jumpshot and size. I think there is a good chance he goes one and done. I see some Ennis and some Russell in him so I expect him to put up numbers as a freshman.

definitely another name to consider.

All I know is right now Ben Simmons looks like the best out of all of them.

Justwar · Post #835 » by **Justwar** » Fri Feb 27, 2015 7:18 am

Ben is just the most physically ready, I think ayton Giles tatum josh Jackson in no specific order are higher potential

splendidham · Post #836 » by **splendidham** » Fri Feb 27, 2015 9:12 am

Ben has plenty more physical development left in him. Just because he's super skilled already doesn't mean he has no room for growth. If anything it means he's more likely to reach his potential because he's already a very hard worker

Watching Tatum on highlights it doesn't seem to me that he has any great upside..he seems very pedestrian speed and athletic ability wise..

he might be a one of those high skilled but not through the roof athletes.

That's why as far as upside I'd put Simmons ahead of him..

How skilled is Tatum? Is it anywhere near Jabari level? Because if you're an average athlete in today's NBA you better be off the charts skilled to be a potential star

I think his skill level is high but from what I've seen from the kid he can play with blinders on and full belief that he is the best on the court regardless of who else is on the team with him. Is he so skilled that he can overcome his lack of size and athleticism and still be JUST as dominant as he has? I don't think so. Good news is he has time to gain weight and perhaps improve his explosion.
