You dont think Korkmaz is entering?

I seem to like Denzel Valentine, Deyonta Davis and Thomas Bryant. While you got Henry Ellenson who I think sucks and will be a bust through and through. Melo Trimble whom I like but dont love and Sabonis who is prob more in the high teens for me. And of course Skal I still think will be a bust as well
He'll enter I think. Guys like him, Baldwin, Valentine, are higher on my personal board and will likely replace some of these guys come June.

Ellenson getting top 5 love is ridiculous. Of course everything is subject to change the next time I do this (when conference tourneys wind down)

This draft isn't the best, but the senior class is impressive. Buddy Heild, Brice Johnson, Denzel Valentine, AJ Hammons will all be solid in the league. But then again, 22 is considered too old to most NBA teams

How good will Thon Maker be?
Heard he showed limited improvement (considering the stage of his career that he is in) @ BBWOB


Anyway here is my All "One More Year" Team
College Freshman that have NBA games and good talent but havent played quite well enough yet to enter this years draft:
C: Jessie Govan (Georgetown) - I'm surprised how good of a shooter he has been. Probably not really 7 feet but should be able to play C in today's NBA

PF: Tyler Lydon (Syracuse) - Too skinny and not as talented as say Ingram to leave this year but has them great stretch 4 potential

SF: Malachi Richardson (Syracuse) - Shooting is the thread that connects all these guys besides the fact that they are Freshmen that should wait another season. He has had trouble getting all the way to the rim but other than that has an NBA style game and good size for the wing.

SG: Malik Beasley (Florida State) - Certainly the most likely on this list to get drafted 1st round this year. I easily prefer over Bacon him since he is more skilled already and more than a year younger.

PG: Dejounte Murray (Washington) - has gotten some lottery/top 10 pick after showing some intriguing skills for Washington in Pac 12 play. I think that's ridiculous at this stage but a 6'4 PG who can shoot the 3 with NBA range is a commodity no doubt.

6th Man: Quinndary Weatherspoon (Mississippi State) - I remember watching him play with Newman at EYBL last year and coming away more impressed with him than Newman, i thought that may have been partially because of all the attention Newman got but there is no question now IMO, he is a legit NBA prospect and right now at least, is better than Newman. Malik is certainly more athletic and shifty but I would not be surprised if Weatherspoon ends up a better player.

A few more slept on freshmen. Jawun Evans Oklahoma State PG. I think he is out for the season last I checked but he was killing it in big 12 play. Looking forward to see what he does next season

The guy that i knew nothing about coming into the year but has really impressed is OG Onunoby, he is clearly an NBA level athlete, should be able to guard multiple positions in the league from day one. He held Jarrod Uthoff to 5-17 last night. His three point shooting is pretty solid too. I haven't seen anything about him on any draft sites but he has been extremely impressive every time I've watched Indiana and is a big reason why they've played so much better in the Big 10 after a relatively slow start

Like him but a few years away.

OG :noah:

Needs a ton more fine tuning, but there's the foundations of a really good player there. His wingspan is insane.

Can't wait for next years class

They'res 6 or 7 guys who would be easily top 3 this draft and could make a case to be 1 if they were in it this year
