Agree/disagree?

I think Ayton and Bamba will both be top 4 as size tends to rise. I don't see anyone knocking doncic off the no1 now porter is hurt. The other top space goes to bagley unless sexton continues to destroy the ncaa.

Pretty good game between Oklahoma and Oregon right now in the PK80 if you want to avoid watching the rest of the Browns.

Troy Brown from Oregon is a decent sized wing with a solid pull up game that is a possible lottery pick.

Trae Young from Oklahoma has been one of the best players in basketball thus far. Small and not super athletic, but certainly fun to watch.

You don't think Trae Young is athletic? I find him plenty athletic as far as quickness goes. May not be a high leaper, but he is shifty and quick with the ball.

He is very Curry like, but he needs to improve his release... needs to shoot it a bit higher and in one motion if he wants to shoot these at the next level. He is small at 6'2 with a slim build so he needs that.

I think Sexton is extremely interesting if his decision making is indeed much better than advertised. Gives him a little glint of MVP-level upside, and that's ultimately the thing that matters in a high-lottery prospect.

Yea I was referring to his explosiveness. That's a big thing to look for with undersized guys. Not sure how he's going to be able to finish around the rim in the NBA. Curry also has a slightly above average vertical, which I'm not sure Young has.

No chance in hell he's 6'2 either lol.

I still think he's an NBA player though.

Yeah, but that's what he was measured at, multiple times. His standing reach is 7'11.5 so he is really not going to bother anyones shot.

I worry about his finishing at the rim, but he is very crafty. Curry doesn't really rely on his vertical to finish at the rim... he is just bigger and has natural touch from all over the court.

Trae is has very high chucker tendencies, but his passing is very good. Probably the best passing freshman in college.

Also a good defender, has quick feet and quick hands.

He can be a huge steal... problem is, I don't like how he looks. Never seen a star look like that.

Ha he's for sure weird looking. I won't believe the 6'2 number until I see it at the Combine.

He's gunna get stuck on screens like crazy in the NBA I'd imagine too, that's a big thing for smaller guards.

There's certain things you need as a smaller guard on offense. Shooting, playing through contact at the rim & drawing fouls, and a floater game. I think he's got all of that even at the NBA level.

Doubt he ever becomes an NBA starter just because guys will go through him and pick him out on defense every play down. It's just what happens with guys his size.

Could be a very very good backup though. That's just my opinion, and like I keep saying, it's super early.

 

[Sir'Dom Pointer]

Watching Texas Gonzaga aswell. Bamba has long ways to go on offense. Sure, he isn;t involved much at all, but he isn't explosive at all after he screens, his rolls are slow and methodical and that's important for a guy that isn't very refined at the moment.

Defensively he is great. Both on the perimeter and protecting the rim.

 

[Sir'Dom Pointer]

Texas made a huge comeback and they are now in OT. Pretty crazy. Interesting game.

 

[3 Ball...GOT IT]

Of course I turned that game off with like 30 seconds left figuring it was over.

 

[3 Ball...GOT IT]

Looks like Trae Young is finally on some of the draft guys' radars. Finished with 40 today and carries that offense. Has maintained good #'s all year and %'s despite taking highly difficult shots.

Watch Trae Young

Good call by Sir'Dom Pointer pointing him out a week ago before everyone lol.

Thanks. Too bad he looks like a character out of Breaking Bad.

HE is putting up historical numbers for a College player, let alone a freshman. He is also not affected by the level of competition since his game revolves around the perimeter and he can get his shot off against anyone at the college level.

He is just too damn small. If he were legit 6'3 then I would pick him top 4.

Im disappointed in my RCF brothers for bringing up Trae Young in this thread. He's slow, undersized and erractic as a gunner. He chose Oklahoma so he could be the primary focus of an offense. If he stays in school and gets stronger, he MIGHT bloom into Trajan Langdon. Right now, he's not even Tyus Jones.

I did find it funny that he hung 40 something on Mike Brown's son Elijah's head though

He's certainly worth paying attention to at this point. You don't put up those #'s by accident... But like I said earlier I don't think his ceiling is any higher than a good backup.
