Take out LeVert and Newman and put in Mykhailiuk and Kaba
He's not even going to start this year. He's gonna have to actually shoot well this year but I hope he does.
Svi too weak and Kaba too raw
I'm done following Michigan recruiting
Adidas gotta throw y'all a lifeline like they're about to do for a few colleges.
They try but Beilein is a "man of morals and character." Think we are switching to Nike next year.

I like Hollis-Jefferson but you have to have some semblance of an offensive game to play in the NBA. Remember Julian Wright? I think rhj is better but he's got a long way before he can give a team the type of contribution that Plumlee will provide right away. More so it's starting to hit me, how much (or should I say how little) draft picks the nets actually have in the coming years and how dark their future is

My top 10 rn:
1. Skal Labissierre PF 7'0 220 Kentucky - coach cal's next prodigy.
2. Ben Simmons PF 6'9 240 LSU - when I realized how great of a passer he is, i started buying stock. Should be a great fit as a "Playmaking 4" for someone.
3. Brandon Ingram 6'8 SF Duke - I don't get to warch adidas AAU ball so I only really saw him at the college all star games but boy was he impressive. KD comparisons are sure to come.
4. Cheick Diallo PF 6'9 220 Kansas - He is undersized for a center and has no jumper and his offensive skills are a long ways away but he is the most dominant defender in this class and imo has potential to guard all 5 positions while being one of the leaders in blocks, steals and rebounds
5. Jaylen Brown SG 6'6 230 Cal - I'm not super high on him, he reminds me a little bit of Stanley Johnson but quicker. However he doesn't have Johnson's bball iq plus he seems a bit passive and unassertive. He is too talented not to go at least lottery though.
6. Dragan Bender PF 6'11 210 Croatia - I saw him at u18, and he was 17 and completely dominated that tourney, reminds me of Toni Kukoc. His passing is off the charts and he didn't shoot the ball too well but the form and techniques is there so he should be an excellent stretch 4 once he puts on some weight.
7. Kris Dunn PG 6'3 200 Providence - The best returning prospect, might have got drafted in the lottery this year but decided to stay. He absolutely wreaks havoc defensively with his long arms. His defensive potential is off the charts and should be able to switch on to 2 guards with his wingspan. He is also a great passer and really finishes well around the bucket. His 2 weaknesses are: he makes some of the worst turnovers I've ever seen, like literally throwing the ball in a crowd of defenders for no reason and while he is built like John Wall he isn't as athletic although a great athlete in his own right. Another thing is he has had a lot of injury history, i think if he can stay healthy all year for providence And lead them to a nice finish in the big East, no way he falls out the top 10.
8. Furkan Korkmaz SG 6'5 200 Turkey - I love this guy. Way more than Hezonja or pretty much any other European perimeter prospect I can remember. He is in the Hezonja mold, IN that he can shoot but is also fairly athletic and can score off the dribble, finish around the rim and isn't soft or afraid of contact. He isn't quite as big or athletic as Super Mario but what seperated him to me is that he is also excellent at making plays for others. If Hezonja plays well for the Magic, it can really help his stock
9. Diamond Stone 6'10 235 PF Maryland - a classic inside big men, who really works the boards, has terrific soft hands and a great touch in the paint. Likr ZBo before him, he is also working on a mid range jumper. I'm a fan and he isn't quite as strong as Randolph but he seems to be quicker. Really dominated the u17 world championships last year. Playing against Some solid competition and looking at times like a prime Shaq out there. EDIT: Not comparing him too Shaq, i doubt he will be that good plus he isn't quite that big although he may or may not be taller than 6'10. I was just making the point that he was dominant in the u17.
10. Isaiah Briscoe PG 6'3 200 Kentucky - my personal favorite. He isn't a prototype prospect because he isn't an uber athlete and he is a little pudgy but the guy can straight up play. I think hopefully he will get a chance to prove that he is in fact a true PG, even though Ulis will prob handle most the PG duties. He is a terrific playmaker, can make shots all over the court and if he really hits from beyond the 3 consistently I think he will be hard to pass up, since he is also one of the best perimeter defenders in this class. Reminds me a bit of a less athletic Eric Bledsoe but more skilled at the same point of his career.
So ya that's my list, if anyone saw Briscoe at the peach jam, they'll know why I have him this high. There is also a few incoming players that i really like and consider sleepers. There is guys like Dwyane Bacon, Malik Newman and Ivan Rabb that are well known about and might rise or fall on the boards as the season progresses but I'm talking about a guy like Chris Clarke.
Being recruited by Buzz , he gives me that "next" Wesley Matthews or Jimmy Butler feel. A great athlete with good size and the ability to score and defend all over the court.

I like Pope potential a lot. Next year will be critical, if he shows significant improvement in the right areas (consistent shooting and handling, perimeter defense) than he can go as high as top 5-10.
I'm a fan of the Aztecs but I'm worried he might get a bad spot in that deep rotation and not be able to get going offensively because they run some very basic stuff, with not much movement. They are very much a grind out defensive team so he should be able to show himself on that end though

Like a C4.
Yeah breh has been through a lot, but the potential is all there. That SDSU rotation will be crazy with Cheatham also, who I feel has potential to make the league as well. I think they both show out this season.
I really think Briscoe will got a few spots higher. Kid is a baller. He also has a 6'9.5 wingspan which is nuts. Ben Simmons is a fukking beast, I can't wait to see that kid play.
Ainge shytting on other front offices publicly in the midst of having trouble trading with them is not going to help anything
Hes got this one off-season to make due or he gets the official
