This is crazy to me.

Horton-Tucker is 23th
Haliburton (!!!!) is 30th (!!!)
Shayok is 77th.

How THT finishes out the season is a big deal in regards to his draft stock/decision imo. He still has a chance to go either way depending on the next few weeks. Someone still might take a chance late 1st, but his shooting has to improve.

Tyrese isn't going anywhere.

Not buying it.

Is this the rat poison Savanna always speaks of?

With Shayok gone and probably Wigs....THT could be the man next year and really showcase his skillset.

 

[ZB4CY]

Haliburtons shot wouldn't survive in the NBA

 

[Prone2Clone]

On THT:

it may require a bit of patience

Drafting THT right now would be the epitome of drafting on potential.

 

[Sigmapolis]

No Wigginton...? At all...?

Seems like a nonzero chance we have junior LW but no THT next season.

(At least if we are going on chances of getting drafted in the first round.)

 

[awd4cy]

Haliburton would have to change his shooting form for him to make it in the NBA.

Drafting THT right now would be the epitome of drafting on potential.

He’s starting and averaging double figures in a good league as a young 18 year old I wouldn’t call it pure potential. It’s more about his room to grow he can ply with anyone offensively right now.

Are you really surprised though? He's only had like 5 games where he's looked really good.

Shayok should actually be higher than that.

THT probably could be a 25-50 based on the rare measurements and skill set even with the ups and downs he's had.

TH has the potential but too much of a work in progress to be a fringe second rounder, let alone first rounder.

 

[ZB4CY]

I think Wiggington will go, but I don't think he actually should. Come back for your Jr. year, have a great bounce back year and then go.

Monte's shot was a lot more pure and quicker release and they still spent a year changing his shot.

I think in conference is averaging just under 10 points a game. Only shooting 33% from 3 and 56% from the free throw line.

I think if he wants to start his professional career, might as well go. I don't think he would raise it enough to be a first rounder unless he just completely goes crazy with development this off season. Think at most he is a second round pick next year. If he goes now, he could definitely make a gleague team or get a pretty good contract overseas and you can spend all the time you want on basketball. It all depends on him really. Some enjoy college and would rather do another year of that.

But he’s not some 7’3” guy from Kenya that started playing basketball as a 17 year old. That’s a pure potential draft pick. THT is a known baller. USA basketball, Simeon, he has pedigree.

 

[CySanka3]

Age and potential are huge in the draft. That's why THT will be gone after this year and Shayok is low in the rankings. I.e. Kane, he was the better player when matching up against Smart, but Kane went undrafted and Smart went early 1st. Smart was 4 almost 5 years younger.

I don't think either freshman are ready for the NBA and Wigginton needs to come back strong and prove himself again. Maybe, I am being hopeful.
