Cant start a new board for the draft. Maybe John can. Notes may take a couple days....
Centers...
Dakari Johnson is the probable #1 selection. Hes huge and strong. He loves to sore inside and he blocks a ton of shots. Solid handles and rebounding. Can steal some. Mediocre FT shooter. Huge upside. The next big thing in BBS.
Dexter Bass is a big young raw big man. Huge and young are always nice attributes. Can block and steal. Offense is raw. Strong. Inside scoring is rough.
Bobby Portis is a solid young big man. Slightly under developed. Can score inside and from midrange. Nice handles and quickness. Can block and board some. Nice late lotto selection.
Donald Conrad is a solid C. He scores well inside. Decent mid range game. Solid post defender. Nice offensive rebounder. Not especially strong. Poor handles. Wont get blocks.
Andrew Oakley is a solid psot scorer. Hes strong and can grab defensive boards well. Good post defender. Might get a block and a steal. Solid handles. Jumpshot and athletic ability are poor.
Power Forwards...
Lucas Brandon is extremely strong and has a nice jump shot. Doesnt block or steal. Solid rebounder. Raw with upside.
Antonio Cosic is a European player that was highly touted as an 18 year old and has fallen off a bit after 4 years at UNC. Derailed by injuries. Can do a little bit of everything. Solid jump shooter. Can block a little and defend the post some. Solid rebounder. Not especially strong or athletic.
Gage Taylor is a super raw HS player. Can steal. Nice size. Athletic. Doesnt do much well. Shouldve gone to college.
Ben Beals doesnt have the upside of some, or the defensive ability of others but he can score. He loves the ball in the post and hes a very good 3 point shooter as well. He might actually block a shot a game, and his rebounding isnt horrible. Very strong. Good defensive rebounder. Handles arent great.
Mateen Shelton is a solid offensive PF. He can score inside and from midrange. Takes some 3s also. Will get some steals. Decent man to man defender. Solid defensive rebounder. Not especially strong. Weak handles.
Small Forwards...
Terrell Ham is an amazingly talented player that has huge red flags because of off the court issues. Ended up at Fairfield after he got kicked off the squad at Kentucky. Can shoot, is very quick and can board well for a SF. Can do a little bit of everything. Hit or miss player that could make a GM very happy.
Kuran Iverson is a superb complimentary player. Solid scorer that needs to work on his midrange game. Very quick. Can pass very well at SF. Can block and steal a little. Solid rebounder. Very strong. Handles are weak.
Ben Simmons is a big time prospect from Australia. He likens his game to Carmelo Anthony. He can score inside and out. Pretty athletic. Can steal some. Solid man to man defender. Rebounds well at SF. Probably a top 3 pick.
Jerome Claxton is a superb 5th starter type. He is a very good jump shooter. He gets steals. Great rebounder at SF. Strong. Amazing passer.
Calvin Porter is a big shooting SF. He is deadly from mid and long range. Very good ball handler. Quick. Can block and steal. Solid athlete. Good defensive rebounder. Limited upside.
Rico Holloway is a solidly built shooting small forward. Very good from mid and long range. Can steal. Good man to man defender. Mediocre athletically.
Shooting Guards...
Aaron Harrison is a very nice shooting guard. reminds some of Brandon Roy. Can score defend handle and pass. Lotto pick that should be a solid SG for a decade.
Jesus Brown is a superb young player. 17 year old HS junior who is declaring for the draft. Amazing man to man defender. Can leap out of the gym. Nice 3 point shot. Midrange game is mediocre to poor. Handles are atrocious. Has a long way to go to be a BBS starter.
James Young is a great young SG spect. he can score really well, especially as a shooter. Good handles and athleticism. Decent rebounder. Nice upside. Should be a 20 point 5 board type SG.
Mitchell Wooden is another one of those 5th starter types. He doesnt have a ton of upside but he can score well inside. Great handles and quickness. Solid rebounder and man to man defender. Very good jump shot.
Point Guards...
DeShawn Martin is a nice tall young PG prospect. Extremely quick. Pretty athletic. Can steal. Not much of a man to man defender or a rebounder. More of a shooter then a slasher. Has some handling issues. Might need to move to SG.
Andrew Harrison has a chance to be the #1 overall selection. He has amazing size strength and athletic ability for a PG. He can block and steal and play good man to man defense. Solid handles. Can sore inside and from midrange. 3 point shot is weak but he has some upside there. Good rebounder. If the Harrison brothers are on the same roster for the opening sim they both get 2 free RCs.
Jacquez Irish is a sleeper. Super quick small college star who led Austin Peay to the Final 4. Averaged 38 PPG in the tournament. Loves to gamble for steals. Can sore inside and out. Not very strong and doesnt jump well. Intriguing prospect.
Randy Madden is a solid backup type PG. Can handle decently. Solid mid range game. Can steal and pass. pretty quick. Solid rebounder for a PG also.
Kyle Crawford is a super handling PG that can defend. Might have a chance to start in the right situation. Loves to go for the steal but is also a surprisingly good man to man defender. Offense isnt great but he can shoot some. Nice 3 point game. Solid rebounder.
Kasey Hill is a solid BBS ready PG. He doesnt have much upside left, but hes solid coming in. Can shoot handle and pass. Will get some steals. Decent man to man guy. Not much of a rebounder.
