Jackson looks to have the potential to be an absolute beast. Giles, too -- his knee injuries are unfortunate, but if he passes medical evaluations, he would be an incredible get. And then Fultz and Smith Jr.? Jesus. In BKN we trust.things i noticed:1) a draft class of insane athletes, ironically my favorite Jayson Tatum is probably the least athletic2) great wing depth3) Markelle Fultz's poise and ballhandling is why i think he's going number 1. Not even considering his shooting and great athleticism.How good a shooter is Fultz? Not impressed with his athleticism--he doesn't really dunk at all in the half court, not the best first step, mix tape is full of floaters and pull-ups. If he's an elite shooter I'll buy the #1 hype, but with so much depth at PG across the league, it's tough to stand out if you're not an impressive athlete.I also like Tatum a lot. I wonder if he's as good from 3 as he is from mid-range though.None of the top guys are good shooters. Giles Jackson Smith Fultz even Tatum. The only good shooter(purely based on DX) is Isaac who they have going late lotto.

The only good shooter(purely based on DX) is Isaac who they have going late lotto.I thought Tatum's calling card was his mid-range game? He's not a special athlete and he's apparently a bad passer, so if he isn't a good shooter, he might not be a lottery pick. Lonzo Ball is a good shooter and I'm surprsed he doesn't get any top-5 play. Sick combo of PG skills + shooting + size, and based on their mixtapes I think he's as athletic as Fultz.I think this class is overrated at this stage. It seems like theres about six or guys who would've been in the conversation for #2 or #3 in 2016, but that isn't too different from 2014, and meanwhile there's no obvious #1 like pre-injury Embiid, KAT or Simmons. Let's see how these guys perform in college.

Just saw the latest from NBADRAFT.NET, has the Brooklyn pick now at #8. I don't think they're that good, but if it falls there, is that considered a bust?
Have to believe that Grayson Allen is going to free fall now after yet the third tripping incident:http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaab/columnist/nicole-auerbach/2016/12/21/acc-needs-to-suspend-grayson-allen-tripping-flopping/95727274/
