 I’ve been quietly observing the shifting of the "Big Board" rankings within this 2015 Mock Draft from the site. It has to be a crime to not have this guy in the Mock. The sad part of it all is that he’s been out of the Mock prior to the update. 

I was going to continue on keeping quiet to see if there would be a change within the update. Wrong! I was wrong, once again.

I ask, now. What has changed from last season, up until the start of this season for RHJ to not be considered a draftable prospect within this 2015 Class?

There is no reason for a return in improving Draft stock for RHJ. He is good as gone!

 i heard he didnt have good showings during the summer camps and stuff. looked heavy and not as athletic. also heard that he didnt show much improvement skill-wise.

as for the rankings, i’d take them with a grain of salt. these guys aren’t experts. they’re just fans like you and i. there are no mel kiper’s in the basketball world. what is represented here isn’t the prospects’ actual draft stock, so don’t take it as such. they’re just laymen opinions.

 I watch every UA game as I am a sudo fan of their program and have been since childhood, but RHJ has a great motor and perfect glue guy, but he’s no star at the next level, he really needs to work on his shot, he still has no range and gets all his production off hustle and athletecism. If you’ve watched their games you know he hasn’t lost any athletecism, he’s averaging around 3 dunks a game in dramatic fashion.

 read his blurb here

this was their most recent evaluation

its pretty easy to see why they wouldn’t be high on him after this.
i for one think that they’ll change their tune as the season progresses.
RHJ might project to be just a glue guy, but he is a difference maker. his perimeter defensive potential is better than his old teammate aaron gordon’s. i think his slashing ability projects to be better too.

 RJH..MKG  same guy .. Both cant and wont hit a shot outside of a layup or dunk.. Both hustle hard and are great activity defenders. (High Motor).. I dont think a team another team will make that mistake drafting RHJ in the first round..unless ole Mr. Jordan is drafting again,

 rondae hollis jefferson is a 1st round pick based on his defensive instincts alone…dude has the talent to guard any position on the floor…

he’s a power forward in a small forward’s body,with no shooting or offensive skills that kind of hurts him…but he’s amazing athlete,with great strength, a good slasher ,has a great 1st step,great finisher,a good passer and i think he’s going to improve his offensive game as he gains more experience…

his energy,hustle and rebounding ability reminds me of kenneth faried,but he’s a Much Much Much better defender…lol…

 Unless this draft class is really, really good (and who knows) this guy sounds a bit like Iggy and a guy like Iggy should be in the top 10.  

Being able to defend wings is HUGE in the NBA.  If they think he can do that, then he should be in good shape even if he never gets a refined offensive game.  The NBA game is more wide open at times so he should be able to score a few points.  

I don’t watch Arizona too much.  Does he play like Iggy?  MKG?  James Johson?  Not sure he has James Johnson’s size though.

To see hes coming off the bench in a 6th man rple for  ‘chemistry purposes according to Miller. Thats gotta hurt his stock some bit as well as hes impact oppurtunities. I was always curious how Miller  was going to handle the the SF sitaution with the signing of Johnson. 

Saying that Waiters was a 6th man and 4th pick and back in the day Mo Peterson was a beastly 6th man for Mich St and was drafted in the 1st round (Marvin Williams too I think). Team success should help also
