ZarathustraParticipantI’m high on Hezonja,he could be the best SG prospect.Let’s hope he’ll have more playing time on a loaded Barcelona team.

Jayhawks2011ParticipantTyus Jones– This is a weak PG class, but I do not think that he is gonna be a one and done. He is a skinny six feet and does not have the quickness. His game is build with him mind and playmaking, and that has to be at an extremely high level if you are going to be an NBA PG. He is a Jose Calderon type PG.
Cliff Alexander–I thik its a gbit pre mature to put him as the 1 PF. He is extremely raw and needs to trim down. He must improve his footwork on just catch and dunks. Plus in today’s NBA he probably projects as a Center because of his limited outside game.
Wayne Selden–This is the guy I’m most excited to see in the NCAA next year. He had knee surgery after the season and has regained hiss explosiveness. He is a guy who is gonna break free of the shadow of Wiggins and Embiid and flourish playing alongside someone else other than Naadir Tharpe.

TenSecondTomParticipantHezonja is most definitely the most talented SG at this stage it’s just a matter of playing time next year for him. Also I think for right now Porzingis ahead of Alexander until Cliff shows he can dominate at a higher level. Although I agree with you, WCS under Tarcz might be questionable to some. Also, I like Rondae Hollis over Dekker at this point , I see a Leonard type work ethic; he’s a type of player that all championship teams need.

ncballerNot exactly sure why you got negged for that. But whatever. It will be a really exciting year of college B-ball.
UK, Wisconsin, UNC, Duke, Arizona, KU are all stacked with talent and I honestly can’t decide who edges who out yet.

gobullzParticipantThe moment Cliff Alexander steps on the floor, he will be the #1 prospect in college. Been watching this kid since he was in 8th grade. He can shoot out to 17 feet. Think Amare Stoudamire with Rim Protection abilities.
0- Posted on: Thu, 07/24/2014 - 12:21pm #939383

FritzParticipantIm a big KU fan so I hope you are right, but I dont see the #1 prospect from my youtube scouting and watching 2 of his games. Clearly you have seen more of him then me so can you elaborate more?
His highlights are all mainly power dunks. He seems stronger than Amare, but I dont think he has Amare’s leaping ability. I hope we see that 17 foot jumper next year. Other than that I have not seen any good footage of him using post moves, shot fakes, and using good foot work. Maybe he has it, but from youtube I cannot tell. Im personally higher on Oubre and Seldon, although I think Oubre is more raw I dont see Cliff currently being a great scorer at the NBA level. But I hope you are right and a few Kansas games will change my opinion fast.

WolfRobParticipantI’ve got Frank Kaminsky over Kaleb.. I had the opportunity to see that match up in person in the tournament last season and Frank just destroyed him. Put on a clinic.
0- Posted on: Thu, 07/24/2014 - 10:37am #939362

Moon RiverParticipantAgree withWolfRob. Frank is going to be a force at center this year. Will be a stretch four due to his inability to defend centers at the next level though.

Magic JordanParticipantI agree with Kaminsky, I am surprised that he is a 2nd rounder on here, even for a first mock that seems low. He has to be a lock at least for the late 1st based off of his skill set and shooting alone.
Most of all I am just glad the focus can shift from the soap opera off season to the draft!!

qDizzle32ParticipantI’d have Justise Winslow over Justin Jackson. NBA teams will definitely buy into his defense, his aggresiveness to attack the basket. Winslow’s outside game has always been a weakness but he has gotten better at it as I saw in the U18 Americas Tournament.

ncballerSurprised at the Sam Dekker love, but perhaps I didn’t see a lot of them. I was perplexed as well about Tyus Jones at number 2, but thinking about it, this class is super weak with PG’s. Also no love for Brice Johnson? This guy is a scoring machine and a freak athlete.

SixerBloodParticipantIs def top 2 pg in this class. He has size, shooting range and he is a playmaker. He turned it on for majority of the season last year and UNC should and will probably be a "FORCE" this year with all the talent they have.
Paige
Britt
Pinson
Johnson
Meek
Hicks
Tokoto
Also how is Bryce Johnson ranked top 15 on the draft board but not on you guys lists? He def has more skills than most of these freshman you have up here.
