NBA Draft Stock on the Rise

Darryl Oumi - Getty Images As conference play inches closer and closer in college basketball, certain players begin to rise up NBA draft boards. Attempting to foresee which prospects will ultimately rise up into the top half of the first round is a tall task; after all, we are over six months away from draft night. However, there is always a group that witnesses their stocks rise, some more than others. Ja Morant and Jarrett Culver are two from last year’s draft that watched

What Happens Next for James Wiseman?

S.I James Wiseman is one of NCAA basketball’s most exciting young players, and unfortunately, biggest storylines of the season. The number one recruit out of high-school was found ineligible by the NCAA in November, after it was reported Memphis coach Penny Hardaway provided $11,500 to Wiseman’s family. Hardaway was serving as a booster for Memphis at the time. Wiseman reportedly had no knowledge about the payment. Hardaway had been his high school and AAU coach, which prompt

College basketball starts in less than a week, so it’s only fitting to release a mock draft for basketball-hungry fans in need of an NCAA hoops fix.

2017 NBA Re-Draft: Part 2

NBA.com Pick 15: Sacramento Kings - Thomas Bryant (Original pick: Justin Jackson) If you aren’t well-versed in Thomas Bryant’s game, I get it. No one watched the Wizards last year. Bryant did his thing, however. The near 7-footer was the only player in the NBA to average 61 percent from the floor, 33 percent from deep while taking at least 1.4 three-point attempts per game. If his game develops more, Bryant could turn into an analytic dream. Washington knows this and inked hi

7 NBA Draft Prospects to Keep an Eye on This Year

The Cardinal Connect If you’re here to read about James Wiseman, R.J Hampton, or the Italian Medallion Nico Mannion, then prepare to be disappointed. These A-List prospects will have a spotlight all season, and there are plenty of intriguing assets that may not get the recognition they deserve throughout this NCAA season. Here are some young men that may make a considerable impact around the 2020 Draft. Samuell Williamson, SF Louisville Before you ask, no. He’s not related to

Potential No.1 Picks in the 2020 NBA Draft

It’s never too early to start thinking about next year’s crop of young prospects. The 2020 NBA Draft is full of NBA ready talent and teams are already trying to position themselves to have a chance at the #1 pick. There is more depth of high-end talent in this draft than 2019 and the race to be the #1 pick looks to be one of the closest in years. RJ Barrett was the consensus preseason #1 last year but was quickly surpassed after the world got a look at how dominant his Duk

2019 NBA All-Rookie Team Predictions

ESPN The 2019 NBA All-Rookie selections were released not too long ago, and with the passing of the NBA draft, it’s time to turn our attention to next year’s rookies. As was the case with pre-draft analysis, there is a ton of uncertainty after Zion Williamson, Ja Morant, and RJ Barrett. Rotational fits and opportunities played a key role in deciding on the selections as did personal analysis that I have added to since the 2018 calendar year. Here are my 2019-2020 NBA All-Rook

Derrick Rose Starts New Chapter In Detroit

Jesse D. Garrabrant/NBAE via GettyImages What’s the deal? Derrick Rose and the Detroit Pistons have reached a contract agreement of two years, $15 million. The 30-year old point guard had a great showing last season with Minnesota and both sides hope this success continues next year. The Pistons are also looking to sign another point guard in addition to Rose, leaving Reggie Jackson’s future with the franchise in question. What does Rose bring to the team? Between Blake Griff

5 Players Who Were Drafted Into a Great Opportunity

Fox News Let’s start with the obvious. The first three players selected in this draft, Zion Williamson, Ja Morant and RJ Barrett, all landed in fruitful locations. Williamson’s new squad is both fun and in playoff contention, Morant has the reigns in Memphis and for Knicks fans actually didn’t boo their draft pick. So, what other, lesser-hyped prospects should be loving their new home? 1. Jarret Culver, 6th overall – Minnesota Timberwolves Lately, rumors have circulated that

5 Questions From the 2019 NBA Draft

CBS Sports Deep breath. It is over. The 2019 NBA draft may not have been loaded with top tier talent, but it will be one of the more memorable ones. General managers were whipping through trades, Woj was Wojier than ever, and some players entered into freefalls. But this draft left me with some questions. What’s on my mind? 1. Are scouts favoring skill over physical gifts more than ever? Cam Johnson surprised everyone when he was drafted with the 11th overall pick. Tyler Herr

The Makings of a Second Round Steal

Mitchell Layton/Getty Images Identifying who will be a hidden gem in any given draft class is an NBA Twitter tradition. Fans everywhere revel in that one pinned tweet which boasts, “I told y’all that Fred VanVleet was gonna be a problem!” How can you get you accomplish the same feat? What should we be looking for in second round draft picks? Firstly, adjust your expectations. Over the last five draft classes (2014-2018) only one second-round player, Nikola Jokic, has been nam

Which Teams Should Gamble on Talen Horton-Tucker

CBS Sports A freshman from Iowa State University, Talen Horton-Tucker causes serious debate among scouts. Should we fall head over heels for a 6-foot-4 playmaker with a 7-foot-1 wingspan? At merely 18-years-old, are we miscalculating his untapped potential? Or, do scouts have good cause to question his shot selection and shooting? What we know for sure is that Horton-Tucker is a gamble. If the dice roll in his favor, then some team will be getting a steal. THT has not yet fla

Who is Tyler Herro's Pro Comparison?

First things first, kudos to me for not titling this piece 'Herro Ball'. Second things second, let’s quickly debrief Tyler Herro’s skill set so we can come to a conclusion on his pro comparison. What is Herro’s physical profile? There are some pluses and minuses when considering his measurables. At 6-foot-5, Herro has good height for a guard but, his 6-foot-3.5 wingspan won’t disrupt many passing lanes. Herro makes up for this lack of length with good effort. Additionally, he

The Four Teams Likely to Make a Move on Draft Night

NBC Sports Zion Williamson will go first overall in the NBA Draft on June 20th, of this we are certain. Other than that? Insert shrug emoji here. The only other thing you can guarantee is that there will be trades: last year’s premier trade was the Luke Doncic-Trae Young swap between Dallas and Atlanta. There is no guarantee that there will be one of that magnitude this year, but teams are actively looking to either bolster their present roster or build for the future. Let’s

Possible NBA Fits for Goga Bitadze

Mega Bemax Unlike certain NBA drafts in the past, the 2019 class will not feature a premier international prospect. The most coveted is probably France’s Sekou Doumbouya, a projected late-lottery pick. However, there is another foreign player that has quickly risen up big boards and mock drafts: Goga Bitadze from the Republic of Georgia. He’s soared to No. 10 on my final big board. The 6-foot-10, 250 lb big man is as unique as they come. Despite only playing just over 23 minu
