    Weird stat:
    4 year player.
    His 3FG% has gone up every year.
    His FT% has gone down every year.

    I honestly have no idea what that means.

    edit: He is listed as an SF, but I wonder if he'll play 2G in the NBA. We have a lot of 2Gs right now.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    It reminds me of the 1997 draft. Tim Duncan at the top, 1-2 other guys who are hyped as possibly really good (Van Horn and Billups). This draft has Zion Williams at the top and 1-2 other guys who are hyped as possibly really good (Jorah Mormont, RJ Barrett).

    And very little beyond that. 1997 did have Tracy McGrady, but he was only valued enough at the time to be the #9 pick.

    Yes. Jorah Mormont is dead.

    At 17, Zion measured (Hoop Summit) :

    6'5" w/o shoes
    273 lbs.

    Sucks that he skipped the combine.

    Watch ESPN will have streams for both scrimmages, starting at noon Pacific. It'll be interesting to see who all decides to play. A few guys really helped themselves last year.

    Measurements are also in.

    Whoa, when did they start compiling all this? There's so much historical data here-- great info. Thought it was all gone when DX closed shop.

    Simons at the time of the combine was 6'3 and had a 6'9 wingspan. Wonder if he's grown.

    I could totally get some shots off in that scrimmage! I'd make at least 3!

    He decent defender can shoot the 3 and missing FT is more about being focus at the line. His technique might be a little off that probably can be corrected. I watched him play and hit some clutch shots when the game counted. But to draft your kind of duplicating Trent.

    He jumped higher than the Vert machine could measure.

    I want Kabengele out of this draft. Plus, I think there is as much talent in the second round as there is at the end of the first, as projected. I'd love to have a couple guys from the second round to see if they could stick ie Paschall, Fall, Bazley, Shittu, G Williams, Windler, McDaniels, Cook. There's a reason they are projected where they are but I also think a few of these guys will be good pro's.

    He’s the guy I most want, would likely have to move up though. I think he has Giannis/AD upside.

    The talent is there though. Worth a shot for any nba team.

    I ran into the Oregon team at a restaurant/bar in Bellevue when they were up here playing UW. Bol was injured at the time but I went up and asked to get a pic with him, he refused though cause I had a drink in my hand and was wasted:)

    Seemed like a nice kid.

    I lived in Kirkland for a year in 2006 and I never got to meet Bol Bol.
