     This high school class is CRAZY!

    They have two very promising wing prospects in Jayson Tatum & Josh Jackson.

    Tatum is 6’9 with terrific ball skills & has as polished a middle game as any guy I’ve seen as a high school player. He goes coast to coast. He has tha floater down pat, tha scoop shots, and can finish with either hand. Really smooth, all around game & he can fill it up in a hurry!!!! I don’t have a comp for him because his style is so different. He puts up a lot of points with no 3 ball. 

    Josh Jackson is 6’8 & can do much of tha same, but he looks like a killer out there & he’s great at playing passing lanes & flying in from tha weak side. He’s a scorer though. He has a polished game & has a great mix of finesse & explosiveness. He goes coast to coast. He has a little step back shot that he has down now. He has nice court vision & it seems like he knows when & when not to be aggressive with his shot & when to facilitate.

    Tha point guard prospects are amazing. 

    Smith, to me, is tha best one. He’s so explosive. He looks like Steve Francis or Derrick Rose. He knows how to change speeds & he can run tha pick & roll or he can create his own shot. Really has tha ball on a string. Can either spot up or pull up off tha dribble. He plays hard too, really militant. Plays a style similar to Dame Lillard.

    Fox is probably tha fastest guy in this class end to end. His first step is great & he is soooo long. He can fill it up in a hurry. Nice pull up shot & he can run tha pick & roll very nicely. 

    Lonzo Ball is 6’6 & tha most talented passer in this class. He can really see tha floor. He’s very nice with tha ball, in a half court or a full court. He makes shots, but I don’t know about his mechanics.

    Kobi Simmons is 6’5 with a lot of bounce & a very flashy game. He’s really athletic & crafty with tha ball. Nice player. I think he needs to learn how to slow down a little more though.

    Malik Monk is a talented combo guard. 6’4 & very bouncy, with a nice shot. He looks a lot like Zach Lavine.

    Then you have guys like Fultz, Alkens, etc..

    What do you guys think? And I know there are a lot of talented guys that I Didn’t mention so tell me about your favorite guys in this class.

    Bump this post!!! I’m gonna tell yall right now: Jonathan Issac is the most overlooked prospect for 2017’s draft. Not as polished as some ranked currently higher, but this dude has at least as much potential as ANYONE in the class. He looks more like KD than Ingram. Crazy skill set for a HS wing combined with an elite wingspan and frame. The hardest thing to evaluate with HS is mentality. It’s really the key to it all. If Issac has that "dawg" in him like the best NBA do, and gets coached up in the process? Top 5 pick, REGARDLESS of when he comes out.

     As a Texas Fan, I’m pretty excited about the incoming class primarily due to a big riser, sleeper in the class in Andrew Jones out of MacArthur Texas… Just got named to both McDonalds and Jordan games rosters.

    Also interestingly locked up Joseph Young’s brother in the class. Will be interesting to see what Shaka smart can do with these two guards. A couple of my favorite sleepers in the class.

     I actually agree 100 % on Jonathan Isaac, his physical and athletic tools are being overlooked. I cant wait to see a full game of his in college. You might be right that he has a possible weakness mentally.

    I am not the biggest fan of .net’s favorite Smith Jr. He is a good player, smart, and tough but I dont see a star when I see him.

    The last I seen of Jackson is impresive, i feel like he has put a ton of work in his handles and is looking beyond confortable with the ball in his hands, just really looks relaxed handling the ball out there, really nice to look like a sg when you’re nearly 6’9.

    Im on the fence with Tatum, i see another Otto Porter.

    Maliik monks shooting prowess and athleticism make him such a nice PG prospect. If only he can show the ability at the college level he has some westbrook style to his game. Hopefully he doesnt turn out like that kid from FSU who this site and posters compared to Westbrook and I always thought he suked.

    I really want to see all these 6’5 Pgs in Lonzo, Simmons, fox, monk, etc and how they play in college, most of these guys just get the ball and out run everyone in college and make drop off when help d comes. I want to see see them RUN a team, can they run plays succesfully without making a load of mistakes?? Yet to be seen. Would they transition to SG easily since they are use to being lead guards?

     Rawle Atkins and Miles bridges are two under dogs that i can see have some impact as Fr, both are dogs who like to be agressive and stay physical, those players usually handle the transition to college easy….

    Dejan Vasiljevic has signed officially for University of Miami.

    Those wanting to see his talent may wish to watch the FIBA U-17 gold medal game against Team USA.

    All-Tournament 1st-Team Vasiljevic dropped 29 against players such as Josh Jackson, Malik Newman, Diamond Stone, Jason Tatum and Henry Ellinson, despite being amongst the youngest.

    His game is hybrid between Marco Bellenelli, JJ Reddick and Drazen Petrovic. Best shooter in the class and already deadly on pull-up 3’s.
