i can only go by what i see. and admittedly i've only seen these guys play in the u17 fiba tournament and in josh's case his high school title game in lansing last year cause i was visiting family and saw the game on local television.

jayson tatum looked slightly more athletic. i was also impressesed by terrance ferguson. another athletic 6'7" sg that not many people are talking about. those two guys looked just as tall, athletic, and fluid as josh.

but then again, like i said this was simply one tournament. we won't know much about these kids till we seem em college.

taytum is very skilled, but he's definitely not more athletic...ferguson on the other hand is a freak and a great shooter as well, people are sleeping on him at the 2 guard spot as well.

I think he was talking about the 2017 NBA draft bruh.

Anyways, Roy is going all out for Jaylen Brown and Harry Giles....I really feel like we will get at least one of em.

Brown has already stated how much he loved the '09 team and that they were his favorite :ufdup:

I think we have a really good shot at Giles, like REALLY good.

ah 2017 makes sense in that context then...and giles/smith jr/tatum will be a blue devil package

Just watched a lot more game footage of Josh Jackson. I don't think he's has quick or as fast as wiggins but he's real smooth and has a better handle so he's able to utilize his gifts more consistently . Has crazy hops and has great court vision. Kinda stands around like Wiggins at times tho. He'll kinda be cruising then explode all of a sudden. His game screams T.Mac. He has a ton of potential but he's gotta protect his body more on the drive or he really will be like Tmac.

If Brown doesn't go to an Adidas school he'll be at UK. Giles seems like he really likes Duke as well.

Pretty big jump he made in regards to athleticism in just a year or two, he didn't seem that explosive last year but lately he's been blowing by people like they're standing still and hawking it some serious

No No, I lived in Detroit, and saw him at Consortium Prep numerous times, dawg always been a super athlete, haven't seen him since he left and it sounds like he's even more athletic, which is downright scary.
