So they liked Doncic...
He looks better than last year, same minutes but 17 pts vs 15.4, 1.9 blocks vs 0.7, 2.9 assists vs 1.6, 53 % shooting vs 44 ( 37% for 3 vs 28% with 3attempts per game). Rebounds still the same with nearly 9 per game, steal also with 1.3.

I was surprised how much I liked Filipowski against Pittsburgh. I didn't like him last year too much, but he's impressing me now. He has legitimate size and has good skills and smarts. I can see him do the good things a Collin does but with more bulk -- hit threes, take some post moves -- while being a high post hub like Poeltl was. He doesn't block shots like Poeltl, of course, but still gets to a couple a game and he's not really that slow on the perimeter. Not fast, exactly, but not embarrassing. Maybe this kind of player just doesn't fit next to Wemby, but I'm interested.
Defenses giving him 10 feet of space to shoot.Sorry, but that would be a hard pass for me, tbh.
What skinny americans?
I was out last night and NC-NC State was on the television. This guy caught my eye: https://www.espn.com/mens-college-ba...33/dj-burns-jr
DJ Burns, PF. Listed at 6'9" 275lbs, but in reality probably closer to 310. Could be a nice mid-round LT prospect for the Cowboys.
would be a upgrade over tre and branham with his defence and rebounding aloneDefenses giving him 10 feet of space to shoot.
If you want defense then just draft Dunn who is the better defender
he can be a option....But rather have a guard who can make plays
Man when it rains it pours:
Isaiah Collier out 4-6 weeks with hand injury
Dropping value like NSJ last year
That sucks a ton.
I would take NSJ anyday over Collier. Smith was undersized and struggled to get his shot, but was a warrior. Collier barely has anything to recommend him. This vastly reduces the chance he rescusitates his value, but I doubt that would happen anyway.
Hard sell on Collier, he just hasn't been what his hype suggested
Wonder if the "hand injury" is a way to put this tough start and frankly bad play under wraps to shield his draft stock.
Agreed on NSJ, he's had flashes in a modest way at Charlotte. Just reminded me of NSJ's draft journey a bit with injuries and plummeting in mocks. Both hovered top 5 before falling
seems like what zach collins does...How is his defence
https://www.espn.com/mens-college-ba...ks-hand-injury
USC star guard Isaiah Collier, a projected NBA lottery pick, will miss the next four to six weeks with a hand injury, the school announced Thursday night.
Collier was injured in Wednesday's loss to Washington State.
Oh your point was totally clear!
It's amazing how wrong high school rankings are year over year. This was my point early in the season -- there's no sense in putting together mock drafts when these rankings are just pure . Isaiah Collier number 1, then down the list you see name after name of guys who aren't putting a stamp on the college game or Ignite at all.

Yet some of these guys will get drafted because of their 'high school promise' when the case was they just got overrated by these ty ratings 'experts.'
Kinda sucks Collier might drop in esteem too because it's a draft where SA might go for a PG
and so Collier could've been a decoy pick some terrible GM might go for as an undisciplined impulse pick to help leave more of an assortment to choose from for Spurs.
Not sure if it's been said, but Risacher's father was a pro baller for France and PSG, a big name.
It means Zaccharie has probabaly a high bb IQ and top work ethic and entourage already (like Wemby)
Two massive factors is projecting what type of pro prospects might become imo
Spurs material 100%
IDK, I like Connor Williams outta St John Fisher at point forward myself
One thing about this draft is the more then any other draft players who do well during March madness will see there draft skyrocket and those that do nothing will see it tumble.
That could be true, it could also be that individual workouts move a player more than in the past too because of this drafts weakness.
After seeing how bad Scoot and the Thompson twins have looked it makes me want to avoid guys like Topic, Holland, and Buzelis who are making their bones in terrible leagues. Though at least Topic should have two months playing in Euroleague when he comes back from injury to make his case. Can't say his first Euroleague game before getting hurt was inspiring though.
Dillingham and Risacher are definitely my top 2 targets with Topic being the alternative
God I'll be pissed if the Spurs are on the clock with Dillingham still available and Primo it like they did with Sengun. Only guys I'd consider ahead of Dilly right now are Sarr and Risacher and if Sarr is on the board I want them to trade him to someone for a quality vet.
