Looking at the 2017 Draft Class by Positions

I really wish Beasley would have went back for another year with Bacon & Isaac.

Good list, that’s going to be a heck of a classs.  

Some minor things:

– I think Ferguson is going to be higher.  He’s a modern-day NBA wing.  
– If you’re going to project internationals Blaz Mesicek should be included and Rodion Kurucs should be higher.
– Biggest ommission is probably Tyler Lydon.

 Its scary how many of these kids think they are one-and-done. I’m glad they have improved the draft process but it still stands to be able to get better. I’ve always thought they should adopt the MLB rules or simply if you don’t get a garunteed contract you can go back to school. There’s so many of these kids that will not be ready after next season.

 Teams should be flipping 2016 picks for 2017 whenever possible. There will be some solid players from the 2016 draft after Simmons and Ingram but this 2017 lottery is where you look for franchise guys.

Dwayne Bacon should be higher, and I would also add Lagerald Vick to that SG list. Kid is a beast

Tatum, Foxx, Fultz, Ball, Abedayo, Jackson, and Ferguson are well documented players and are a great group of players. Giles and Smith are elite prospects in any class but are both coming back from injuries. There’s also players with such raw potential like Isaac, Bolden, Allen, Jones Here’s the guys I think are sure things in the NBA.

  Malik Monk is a going to be a star at the next level. He is a notch more athletic than most players and very skilled, can find ways to score being ball dominant or playing off the ball yet is still a more than capable playmaker and decision maker. He also has a passion for the game and drive to always be the best player he can be. This kids a baller.

  Same way about Miles Bridges. I just don’t see how NBA players are going to match his mix of intensity, athletisism, size and skill level. He’s my favourite player from this class although I hate the fact that Josh Jackson always beats him but Jackson is also a great player.

  Might be my favourite class ever.

  But the guy I really think will shock people is Omer. Because Yurtseven is going to dominate this year at NC State with Smith, and Anya and could be in contention for the ACC freshman of the year and establish himself as one of the best international recruits ever. He absolutely destroys his own age group and they will give him minutes. He signed to NC State right after he scored 91-points in a U-18 Turkish game this year. While the competition may not have been impressive, I don’t know I haven’t seen the game the most impressive part of it is the fact that he kept on attacking to the point where he took 50 shots and kept taking advantage without flinching. Not many players have the nerve to outscore the whole other team lmao.

 I think you have forgotten Nigel Williams-Goss, I believe he will be a first round pick ,but, regardless, you’ve gotta mention him.
