Jase is a pretty weird player and I’m surprised he has risen to lottery levels after coming off the bench most of the season. I wouldn’t be surprised if he stays in school (having an NBA player dad, he is not hurting for money either). I don’t know if I would say he does anything particularly well but is the only consistent player on the MSU roster. He doesn’t have his dad’s insane athleticism or knock down shooting (yet), is shorter than him and has kind of the Harden torso.

If you want to talk raw talent on the Spartan roster (though he is probably not coming out either), please enjoy this Coen Carr dunk compilation. He is one of the highest flyers I’ve ever seen. At this point his only real basketball skill is offensive rebounding though.

The Ringer has a Big Board that’s only 14 players?

I don't remember Rose or Kyrie getting nearly as much hype from preseason all the way through the tournament (Kyrie got hurt like 11 games in though). KAT was someone whose stock rose over time too. IIRC the presumptive top pick going into that season was Jahlil Okafor lol.

If we're talking about guys as they were coming out of high school, I vaguely remember Zion being number 2 as well. What source did you use Koop?

Also re: social media, I don't follow any draft stuff on there, just regular sports websites (ESPN, The Ringer etc.) and they've been gassing up Flagg since he was like a junior in HS. I don't think Rose or Kyrie had that.

I imagine getting a work visa is a different process and professional sports teams can make it happen more easily.

God the whole draft outside of the top few guys is rough. Danny Wolf at 15? He's 6'11 and has "guard skills" but if you play him at center he's gonna be rough on defense. He's like a giant slow small forward

I suppose that's a niche that needs filling sometimes. But he's the definition of a role player at this point

Is he the highest projected American Jewish prospect since Danny Schayes?

Was Amar'e a Jewish prospect or did he convert later?

Much later, might have been out of the NBA by then even.

Nope. He can wait a year and try again. I don't know if he can go back to school because he might be too late to get his eligibility back? i forget how that bit works


This draft is so weird. It's genuinely like last year's top 8 was this year's 5-13 and this year's 5-30 is a normal draft's 13-30 or something like that

don't quote me on that it's just roughly like we're missing the "obvious future role player, boom bust wing" guys that normally fill those spaces

There's a deadline to come back which I don't think has been hit yet. They can't draft him Larry Bird style anymore, he has to be available.
