Jaden Ivey | 6-4 guard | Purdue | Vecenie’s prospect rank: 4​

The explosion is there. So is the swagger and the athleticism. But is he a true point guard? Was he put in the best position at Purdue to develop? And what’s with all the Ja Morant comparisons? Ivey’s allure should make front offices ponder — including Houston’s, even with Kevin Porter Jr.already on the roster.

Eastern Conference scout (on whether Houston should consider taking him at No. 3): We haven’t interviewed him, we haven’t talked to him. But, he’s just different. I think that’s a legitimate thing. I think if they’re locking into Banchero, they should think twice. I mean, I like Banchero too, but (Ivey’s) speed and athleticism just looks so different. You see him flying across the court attacking the rim as fast and physically as he does for his size. You see Ja Morant do that in NBA games, and you see (Ivey) do it in college games. And you think, can he be anything like that? He’s just a different breed of speed, quickness and pop off the floor. He’s definitely worth considering at No. 3, but I’m not sure what their thinking is. I think they lean toward Banchero, but they should consider Ivey, for sure.

Someone is giving Shareef some bad advice. Dude needs to stay in school. He doesn't have money problems and should listen to his dad and get his education. He's not a top 20 draft pick at all. Why go through all this instead of working on your game?

My Pops Forever RIP
I may regret this, but I'm warming up to the idea of what Malaki Branham can be in the league. If his jumper as pure as some think it'll be, he'll be a major problem.

My 10 favorite prospects, regardless of where they are in the draft


1. Chet Holmgren
2. Mark Williams
3. Jean Montero
4. AJ Griffin
5. Malaki Branham
6. Christian Koloko
7. Trevion Williams
8. Bennedict Mathurin (I know he's Canadian, but still)
9. Jalen Duren
10. Kennedy Chandler


Ten I'm just out on
1. Caleb Houstan
2. Blake Wesley
3. Patrick Baldwin, Jr.
4. Peyton Watson
5. Ousmane Dieng
6. Kendall Brown
7. Walker Kessler
8. Dalen Terry
9. JD Davison (I probably should have him higher, but I also don't think he's getting drafted)
10. E.J Liddell (I might regret this big time, but I'm naturally against 6'5'' power forwards)

He entered the draft? :dahell:

Truth of the matter is, some dudes are just tired of the obligations of college (class, grades, program, etc), which is why some guys leave before the have any business doing so. At worst, maybe he gets paid overseas somewhere.
