    Here's a bit of an under the radar prospect that should be there in the second round.

    Welp, Chad Ford pissed in my Cheerios with his big board rankings -- R.J. Hunter is already slated to go lotto.

    Of course it's REALLY early but if he plays like he has the past two years I don't think he makes it to the 20's.

    Hmm...

    What about Marcus Lee from Kentucky? That guys is athletic as all hell but he suffers from nerlens noel syndrome in that he is skinny and not very strong. Good prospect though in the late first.

    Also, this Mario hezonja guy looks really good from videos I've seen.

    Sabonis updated stats are absurd:

    38 PER with a 77 TS%

    14 PPG | 7.5 RPG | 76 FG% | 19 MPG

    PER40: 29 PPG | 15 RPG

    Caris Levert looks really nice. Just a smooth all around player. The game looks like it comes easy to him.

    He is.

    IMO he's not quite the prospect that RJ Hunter is but he's close.

    Lotto pick.

    Kinda reminds me of T-Mac in style of play.

    I forgot to add that he's doing this at the age of a HS senior.

    It's early, I know, but he's showing a feel for the game not often seen at his age.

    Projected to go mid-first but will be a riser on draft day.

    [video=youtube;kcRFxCPM9f0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcRFxCPM9f0[/video]

    He's a better version of Myers and currently the most efficient big in the country -- 40 PER(!)

    Would look great in Stotts' system.

    I'd be down with Kaminsky coming off the bench.

    This is a guy though that I'd really like to get a hold of. He's a freshman at Kansas via Ukraine. I watched him the other day and was intrigued. He looks like a natural using both his right and left hand and has sneaky athleticism. People are throwing around comparisons to Ginobili.

    They'll all be labelled busts after game 1 by someone, so this thread may as well be closed

    Fyi....

    Right now on ESPN Kentucky Vs. Texas just started that features two top-5 picks going head-to-head: Karl Towns and Myles Turner.

    I like the joke, but the theory has been explained before

    Harvey Grant's son. His brother Jerami was supposed to be the better of the two. I can't remember if he even got drafted.

    Yeah, he is a 76er apparently.

    Also the nephew of Horace. I think he is better than his younger brother, the Syracuse brother.

    Better body control and looks smarter (4 years of experience will do that)

    Gonzaga vs. Arizona about to start on ESPN.

    A lot of future NBA guys in this one.

    Chad Ford's biggest sleeper that'll end up somewhere in the lotto: Jakob Poeltl
