 I’m hypped to watch the Kentucky, Michigan State game.

An early college matchup like this blows the socks off any November NBA game.

I think he could be pretty good, even if he never gets any finesse based skills.

I think in the right matchup, against soft centres in particular, he could be too much to handle and get a lot of DeAndre Jordan/Manimal type buckets.

As a Kentucky fan I’m really excited to see what his game actually is. I’ve yet to see really what game he has outside of dunking and flying all over the court, although he has good touch so I’m sure he’s got some moves in the post if you throw it down to him, and his athleticism allows him to switch on picks which is vital in today’s NBA but his post defense is unproven so far. I’ve seen it all in mixtapes but it’s another thing to actually see it against top competition

Same thing for Malik Monk, I’m excited to see how he plays in a big game. For some reason I feel like I know how De’Aaron Fox will play and have no doubts about how he’ll be in the spotlight, All these guys are elite prospects and I think if you look at this game then look at them in the tournament, you could potentially see different players.

 Adebayo: Seems like a great rebounder and can finish around the rim. His jumpshot out to 15ft looked fairly good, could use some work but not broken. Sucks he can’t come out this year but he could be a Biyombo/Capela type player.

 

Fox: His jumpshot is broken and he can’t play in the half court. He’ll look good in college because the style of play Kentucy play at, but he doesn’t translate to the NBA in my opinion. Just doesn’t seem like a floor general out there.

 

Monk: I love Monk, seems like a Bradley Beal type player to me. Not as good a shooter, but a better scorer. He seems to work hard on defense which is nice too. A little undersized but he can make up for it. Think he’ll be in the 5-8 range come draft time.

 With a name like Bam, he has to be a good defender. Imagine when he blocks a shot, the screen displays a "BAM" in cartoon style caption.

Seriously though, I think he will have value as a good defensive player, in this new two way, 3 point range NBA, any limits on his offensive game could limit his draft stock. But if he can develop a few moves, he can be a useful scorer and his team mates would feed him a few baskets to keep him ticking over.

There is nothing wrong with being a defensive specialist and he can see good minutes in the NBA as a role player. He is already over 250lbs so he doesn’t look the sort of player who will get pushed about in the paint.

Well tonight wasn’t the night to scout Bam because the refs threw him in the trash tonight. His biggest strength is his actual strength and they wouldn’t let him fight for position at all. He showed good help defense instincts tonight though which is a good sign

Monk showed his scoring abilities, mainly his outside stroke tonight. He didn’t attack the rim like he can but he didn’t have to because he went 7-11 from 3. No way he falls all the way to 18 like this mock says imo

Fox didn’t shoot too well and had a couple silly turnovers but I love his game. He showed he can grab rebounds and draw fouls on top of his passing, slashing, defense, and crazy quickness and length. I’m not worried about his shot because I’ve seen him drain before (there’s even a mixtape of a game in high school when he hit 11 3’s in a game. You don’t do that if your shot is broken)

 Big Fan of Bam, I think with a lack of quality big men in this Draft, youll see his stock a lot higher come draft time..He’s a physical specimen a lot like Amare Stoudamire.. I still need to watch him a bit more to get a better idea of his on court body language and how coachable he is. He has all the tools to be very good though will be the type of player that needs to be accounted for in the transition game
