Ntilikina puts in a lot of defensive effort on every single possession, even when they're down 20 he's out there defending like it's a 1 point game.

Say brehs am I tripping for thinking Tatum might creep into the top 3? Jackson being the dude that falls off a bit?

Duke really had to figure out how to play with each other.

Yeah it really took awhile but it was hard to find roles. Plus Tatums an ISO heavy player which makes it harder

That pass to Matt Jones for three though showed me he also can be an effective passer.

He can go as high as 2 now and no lower then 4

Also Markannen last night was staying with guards on the peremeter it shocked me

If he can be decent on defense his ceilings even higher

He has really good footwork that helps him play on the perimeter but he has some work to do. He still has some problems closing out and with overall IQ/Awareness on D.

Tatum cooked all ACC tournament and he deserves the hype he's getting. But the type of player you need to defend him isn't in the ACC. Justin is good but he's a finesse guy and Deng has pro potential but he isn't that elite athlete type that can guard Jayson.

DX updated their mock draft. Issac moves out of top 5, Hartenstein is out of the lottery and Ojeleye moves into the 1st round

Fox is top 5 :patrice: he's definitely picking back up, but I don't have him as highly ranked anymore like I did early in the season. Been debating on him and Jawun Evans recently for that 5th PG slot.

I actually agree with a lot of their 1st round though, outside of Justin Jackson/Terrance Ferguson and one or two others. Ojeleye is nice, I like Milton a lot too.

I really don't see Fox going that high either, especially since guards who can shoot are so valued these days. I like Justin Jackson, but I've only seen him play well against smaller players...I think he's going to struggle against most wings in the league. Haven't seen any Terrence Ferguson besides Hoop Summit. He reminds me a lot of Terrence Ross, except he plays with way more intensity.

I like Ojeleye and Milton too. Both of those guys look like they'll be decent role players someday.

With Fox the jumper really bothers me, he's worse than all of the other non-shooting PGs we've seen come into the league. He has to develop into John Wall or bust. If you want to develop a PG just go with Ntilikina.

I don't see it with Jackson, hopefully he shows something in the tournament. As far as Ferguson you're pretty spot on, his ceiling is a super athletic 3&D guy which isn't something I waste a lottery pick on. I still feel he'll drop into the 20s and get picked wherever the Raptors choose.

Ojeleye is a good fit in today's NBA, and Milton is one of my favorite PG prospects, he could be a lot better than people expect.

im not drafting Fox high. Unless he's John Wall which he's not imo then in today's league having a pg who can't shoot is recipe for disaester

He's much closer to TJ Ford then he is Wall
