this highlights are crazy. I didn't know this cat had dunking ability like that. Is he gonna be able to do shyt like that in the league or does he appear a little better due to less athletic defenses in that euro league??

He's playing in the ACB, which is a big step above the NCAA, he should be able to do some of the things you see. His athleticism will translate over if they play him at the 2, he'd have a size advantage to go along with really good athleticism.
Dude is legit. His game is WAY more advanced than Stanley Johnson, Justise, or Oubre... though some of their physical traits may outweigh that fact.
Not even sure their physical traits can help em. I'm not even sure who's the best wing prospect anymore. Mario seems like the best scorer..Justise looks like a future 3/D guy. Stan can be really good but I have some concerns over his athleticism and Oubre has improved over the year but is raw.
I think Oubre should stay another year, I don't think he's quite ready yet
He should but he'll probably be a top 12 pick so he'll declare. It's the way the game goes.
Yeah. I can't really blame him for going ahead and entering while he's a consensus lottery pick
Good. Hopefully he's still there for the Pistons pick. Really feeling him or Stanley Johnson for completely opposite reasons.

How mind blowing is it that the Hawks will get a top 10 prospect. Carley-Stein is the player I really like. He doesn't have superstar potiential but he has a low bust rate. Very long, very quick, very athletic. A consistent double-double guy.

1) D'Angelo Russell
2) Emmanuel Mudiay
3) Karl Towns
4) Jahlil Okafor
5) Stanley Johnson
6) Mario Hezonja
7) Justice Winslow
8) Kelly Oubre
9) Caris Levert
10) Montrezl Harrell
I need this nikka Russell on my team
Sixers need Russell breh.As far as the rest of them go...if you go by the straight analytics D'Angelo Russell & Karl Anthony-Towns are the top 2. Some of the comps are crazy though.
- Towns' closest analytical comps are '96 Tim Duncan, '07 Greg Oden & Embiid last year...being slightly better, but not by much.
- Russell's closest is '96 Ray Allen & '09 James Harden...but he's actually been better by a significant margin.
- Okafor's are the same as Towns, but he's slightly worse than '96 Duncan & '07 Oden.
His defense is suspect as hell which is probably the difference there.- Stanley Johnson's closest comps are kind of surprising being '97 Paul Pierce & '03 Carmelo.
Didn't expect that.- Justise Winslow's closest comps are '91 Grant Hill, '97 Pierce & '12 Bradley Beal.
Didn't expect that either.

Draftexpress did a video on how Arizona's Rondae-Hills Jefferson locked up D'Angelo Russell.
He's 6'7 and is supposedly a lockdown defender, yet DE has him late 1st round. How good do you think RHJ will be?

He will be good as a defender but offensively he's not as skilled but his athletisim can get him by
I would take Justin Anderson before him
