Is it just me or has every lottery for the past five years or so been filled with perimeter players that cannot shoot a jumper if their life depended on it? Is that a recent phenomenon or has that always been a thing that NBA teams need to fix on most players? I know LeBron sucked at jumpers for a while.

Spacebump posted:People that pay attention to CBB. What is wrong with Tacko Fall? I would think a 7 foot 6' tall man would at least be in the 2nd round of mock drafts. Most insanely tall dudes are as slow as they are large and don't really have any basketball skills beyond "stand in the paint and stick your arms up on defense." There's a reason Sim Bhullar and Mamadou N'Diaye are D-Leaguers who went undrafted.

Rick posted:Miles Bridges seemed to just be everywhere, he had a lot of non-box score influence on the game. I loved his slashes to the basket. He is small though. His jumper looked fine in the game I watched (Michigan St v Indiana) but apparently that is not always the case and I think he might have some problems in the NBA if that is the case. But I definitely see the talent and athleticism and maybe the modern NBA could find room for him. Bridges had 33 points, 7 boards and was like 5/7 from three last night.

Nerlens might have gone #1 if he hadn't gotten hurt. Although the Cavs were picking so who knows.

Also Anthony Davis is seriously bizarre looking even with nice teeth. He's got facial hair now which distracts from the brow but it's still all weird.

Spacebump posted:Which games/prospects are the best to watch in tonight's games? Well Kentucky is playing UCLA so pretty much everyone starting in that game, but more specifically Ball, Monk and Fox.

MourningView posted:Think this might be a bad move. I don't like him that much as a prospect but he was probably going in the lottery. Next year is a weaker draft but he's got some flaws that he may not want to give teams another season to pick over. He better hope the 3pt% holds up next year. As a State fan I'd obviously be stoked if he returned but I agree. Local reporters like to bring up Gary Harris having little change in his draft stock between freshman and sophomore years but Gary Harris was not this kind of prospect.
