     Arnett Moultrie. I’ve only watched one game he played in (vs. Vanderbilt) and dominated. He looks to be a legit 6’10” 240-250. He’s high on draft boards, but NOBODY is talking about him. He only has one highlight tape on YouTube. He looks like he could be a 15+ ppg scorer at the next level. Just want to see your thoughts on him. To me he looks like a pretty solid pick who could potentially become an All Star. 

    Thoughts?

     He’s long athletic and has a really nice shooting touch.  He’s a not a very high volume shot blocker, but he’s a good rebounder and solid defender.  I really like him, I wrote a post on him in November advocating for him to be on the 2012 Mock and his stock has soared since.  I think he is a legit lotto pick, although, I think 5 may be a little high.  Either way, I really like him as a player and prospect because he’s improved every year and still has room to grow.

       I think he looks like a future stud. I don’t know who to compare him too. I think he plays a lot like LaMarcus Aldridge did in college. I really like him.

     He’s actually a legit 6’11.  He came into college as an athletic combo forward but has transformed himself into an inside/out post player during his JR. year.  Aran said scouts are comparing him to Jermaine O’Neal which I can see on offense but he’s not the dominant defender and shot blocker J.O. was.  

    I like him too because he gets after it and plays with attitude.  He got some nice moves inside and the quickness and length to exploit a lot of different matchups.

    I’ve been folowing Moultrie since he was playing in high school in Memphis and was disappointed when he didnt sign with Memphis Tigers..Each year he has added to his game,having those guard and small forward like skills will help him at the next level..But he goes thru spurts in every game where he disappears and seems to take plays off & sometimes doesnt mix it up inside,i dont know if that’ll work well in the pros..You want guys on your team that gives 100% every night….But he seems to be 1 of those players that get better & better each time you see them…

    Moultrie reminds me of LaPhonso Ellis…

    What set him apart for me was the fact that he is extremely explosive for his size. Get’s off the floor with great elevation ever time he jumps seemingly regardless of whether or not is able to set his feet. That, combined with his ever growing skills is a great combo. Gotta agree with the Lemarcus Aldridge comparison by dacula18, I’d say that’s the type of player we could see him become if he gets drafted into an ideal situation.

     Mobile 6’11, 245 with a nice jumper. Idk if he should be a top 5 pick, but he wont slip out of the lottery. I’d take him over tristan thompson.

     Tristan Thompson isn’t in this draft but had he’d return for his sophomore year you don’t think he wouldn’t be having Thomas Robinson type year and leading the votes for Big 12 player of the year?  I do.  I think if TT were a sophomore right now he’d be the best player in that conferance.

    From his highlight tapes, I see a Taj Gibson/Jordan Hill-type player with Chris Bosh/LaMarcus Aldridge-ceiling.

    He looks like an immediate NBA contributor because of his strong offensive rebounding and ability to finish inside. Of course, if he continues to work on a post-up game/jumpshot and is a better defender than his blocks/steals numbers indicate, he has All-Star potential.

    Gotta appreciate the way this guy worked on his game and body during his sit out transfer year last season. I watched him as a soph at Utep and wasn’t really impressed with him. He was weak, and was getting pushed around against c-usa competition and I didn’t see and strong finishing moves around the basket for someone his size. He pretty much worked on all his weaknesses to the point where he’s playing like he deserves to be on an all-american team. Also showing a toughness to stick his nose down low I didn’t see previously. It’s hard to say anyone will become an all-star nowadays because of all the variables, but based on how much he’s improved over the past 2 years, you never now. However I like to keep expectations for most guys low, at a minimum he should be a solid rotation guy in time. Reminds me of Jajuan Johnson a lot from last year’s draft.

    He took a gamble by sitting out a year but since he transfered he has been a revelation at Mississippi and should be a top 10 pick this year. Top 5 might be stretching it a bit but I can easly see him being taken in the 6 to 10 range as he should be fairly NBA ready and looks to have a good work ethic so would be highly coachable.

    He is very athletic, but I watched the game last night and he takes so many plays off. The effort is just not there yet and he seemed like he didn’t have a real desire to dominate. Can he dominate? Absolutely. Will he? I am not so sure of that, and his defense needs a lot of work. Got pushed around under the basket a ton last night also.

    BA30 Gets it..

    Moultrie goes for the sexxy play time & time again..And he doesnt play at 100% all the time…I remember sitting behind their bench last month..And their coach were yelling and screaming for him and Sidney to play defense and be more physical inside..He called a timeout and let them had it…

    But like i said he keeps getting better and better each time he plays…And he grabs rebounds like his life depended on it..

    He’ll be perfect with a good running team…
