2015 darkhorse prospects: Hayes, Dunn, Pope

[Tr1boy]

Nigel Hayes SF (6'8 with 7'3 wingspan, 250 pounds). Beast sf that could stay another season (with Dekker, Kaminsky gone) , get more playing time, develop game further and be a top 10 pick for the 2016 draft.  If he declares for 2015, Celtics would probably have to reach for him at 15 bc another team will reach for him not too long after.  Depending on the combine results , workouts I wouldn't be really surprised if he gets chosen a little earlier than 15 also

Kris Dunn PG/SG (6'3 with 6'8 wingspan, 205 pounds). Some are already comparing him to a Russell Westbrook. Not as explosive but size, end to end capability, acrobatic finishes around the rim, dribble pull up 2's and motor.  Dunn is already a much better passer than Westbrook.  Has been hampered by a shoulder injury 2 seasons before this one and unfortunately like Westbrook can be turnover prone (10 vs Kentucky earlier this season).

Malik Pope SF (6'10 with 7'1-7'2 wingspan , 210 pounds).  Has ways to go but a few games this season you would think he is the  next coming of Kevin Durant.  Effortless shooting stroke all the way out to the 3 pt line.  Above average ball handler that can get past his man for emphatic dunks or layups.  Explosive but also is thin and inexperienced.  Ideally better for him to stay back another season to put it all together and be a sure top 20 pick for next season.  Could become impatient and declare for the 2015 draft.  Combine and Individual workouts could propel him into the 1st round.

Anybody know more about these prospects? Would Hayes or Dunn be a big reach at 14-15?

I believe Dunn is currently projected to go in the 14-20 range and Hayes is projected to go anywhere in the 20s.

I expect Pope to go back to school. I think it is the best choice for him financially and otherwise. That being said, if he comes out he could go anywhere because he has such immense talent, but is so raw. You are talking about a guy who has top 5 pick talent (6'10", quickness, handle, 3pt stroke) but his college production and current abilities ate that of an undrafted player.

Edit:
Draft Express has Dunn at 14, Hayes at 26, and Pope at 46 in the big board

Imagine we actually draft all three.

then I'd be really disappointed.

I'm a PC fan (native rhode islander) and wish Dunn the best but I see him as too inconsistent to be picked that high.

Pope that high eh?

His stats def scream 2nd round to undrafted. But his skills is top 5 level.   

Maybe he pulls a Lavine and wows the gms at the combine, individual workouts

Hayes kind of reminds me of Noah Vonleh

Not sure if that's a good thing or not...

Yeah. Their bodies look identical. Also their face from a distance

Hayes looks to have a better feel for game/IQ . Both look like tweeners. Not overly quick or explosive
