Draft Tidbits

Noel was atop our Top 100 rankings from our first one on June 29 until he went down with a torn ACL in February. Since that time we've been reluctant to keep him at No. 1 until NBA doctors have a chance to look at his MRIs. But the truth is that Noel might be the big draft winner of NCAA tournament so far. While most of the other top prospects have stumbled -- some mightily -- multiple NBA scouts and GMs remember Noel's increasing productivity at Kentucky and say, essentially, if every player in the draft this year is going to be a major risk, why not gamble with the ultra-athletic big man and hope his knee and his offensive game both get better?



The best-kept secret in NBA scouting circles in a secret no more.

Meet Giannis Antetokoumpo, a 6-10 point guard who already has signed to play professionally next season for Zaragoza in Spain.

"Antetokoumpo had 33 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals" - Sound more like a PF with good vision then a PG with those numbers.

Yeah the reports I have read mention SF /point forward. He turned 18 in in December. Some playoff team is going to make the investment and draft him this year and maybe leave him overseas for a year. (Or buy his contract out now)

This is the type of boom or bust pick I would consider around 20-23. But I hope we are scouting him because if he really has huge potential, get him.

Thanks for the video. If that kid was a senior in an American High school, we would be freakin out. One and done.
It will be interesting to see how high he goes. What team will bite first knowing that he will take a year or two to develop.

His dribble and running resembles magic.

NOT saying his game does, just noticed it.

 

[Boise Blazer]

His aggressiveness stands out to me. Im not sure if that is a product of his competition or just his nature buts its good to see either way

Not impressed. If I had to throw out a prediction now, I'd say total bust.
