It's a year early, but Harry Giles, projected #1 in 2017, tore his ACL. But the really bad news is that he committed to Duke this morning.

Ingram was impressive last night v Indiana. 24 pts and 6 rbs, shot 10/15 including 4/6 from 3. Handled the ball very well, only 2 TOs in 30+ minutes.

Lockback posted:Is that strength of the intl class or weakness of the college players? Dragon Bender is the only guy I've heard of with all-star potential. That's a good point; mile wide and an inch deep. Also, he has to be counting guys like Simmons, Labissierre, Murray, and Sabonis as internationals right? Because in terms of "real" internationals, Bender, Luwawu, and Korkmaz really are the only guys solidly in the first round.

Frank Ntilikina is the new international rocketing up the 2017 boards. Played well in the Basketball Without Borders tourney. From Givony's DX writeup:quote:Outlook: Incredibly mature 17-year old. Carries himself like a pro. Arguably the top prospect at the entire camp in terms of physical tools, current production and long-term upside. Continues to improve every time we see him. Seeing a handful of minutes at the highest levels of European basketball with Strasbourg as a third string PG.

iamsosmrt posted:If the Sixers get the Lakers pick at 4, I think it'd be a pretty wise move for them to get Buddy. Heck, draft him even if they get poo poo luck and fall to 4 themselves. But he'd also probably be the most veteran player on the team. #4 is their statistically most likely pick IIRC, closely followed by #1+#4. Hield, Murray, or Dunn would all be good picks for the Sixers at that spot. I also wouldn't put it past Hinkie to draft Hield then move him for Dunn/Murray+assets.

Draft just got a bit more interesting. Bender has told Maccabi that he's not coming back. David Pick – @IAmDPick NBA buyout to free Dragan Bender, source said, over $1 million. He is done with Europe, not a draft-and-stash. 7:12 AM - 6 Apr 2016

2017 draft news, but Omer Faruk Yurtseven committed to NC State today. He's one of the best young bigman international prospects right now and will probably be a top 10 pick next year; he dropped 91 and 28 in a U18 game yesterday.

straight up brolic posted:Boston would literally never ever do this so you're in luck. Philly never would either. Considering the mandates coming from the front office, the last things they need are an incredibly raw 18 year old 7 footer + a point guard who's not a great distributor and just had one of the worst shooting seasons of all time. Boston's best bet may be to trade down if teams like Orlando and Phoenix are in love with Bender. #3 + #23 and a few second rounders for for #11 + Hezonja and they take Valentine with the #11.

Siguy posted:That all makes sense. Other things that I've observed on r/Lakers and r/Boston Celtics: - The Sixers will obviously pass on Simmons. - If the Sixers do not, then Simmons will force his way to L.A. -Terry Rozier is the key to acquiring Jahlil Okafor. -Jared Sullinger has a similar value to the #3 pick. Draft season brings out a lot of strangeness.

iamsosmrt posted:Is there an source to the Simmons forcing his way to LA rumor? I've read and heard people talking about it, but I haven't seen any sports journalists talking about it. Nothing reputable or rational. A lot of these rumors are local sports media, especially sports radio guys, making up stuff for ratings; e.g. the hot rumor in Boston this morning was that the Sixers were desperate to trade down to the #3 spot because they need a PG and would take Kris Dunn.

iamsosmrt posted:That's good to know. I just hope when/if the Sixers take him, his reaction is a even slightly positive in comparison to Embiid's or Okafor's draft reactions. Lol. Embiid was on tape delay and the camera view of Okafor 'dropping the jersey on the floor' cut out the table he was putting it on. edit: and yeah it'll be fine. BB coached his father in Australia so there's a pretty strong family connect to the organization.

I still think the Okafor/24/26 for Boston's 3/16/23/31 is preferrable to anything Phoenix would offer as Bender probably is the only asset in this draft that people would trade up for other than Simmons/Ingram. edit: euphronius posted:I have seen no rumors PHO is interested in Okafor. Yeah I think they want to spend another year on Len, who can be a really good center when he's healthy.
