 Lonzo Ball. 162 pounds, but what a feel for the game. Coaches son. One play that really impressed me was at 45 seconds in.

 He crosses the defender up, and the defender trips and falls and the whole gym is laughing and making fun of him, Lonzo stares for a moment, then reaches his hand out to him and helps him up. Really mature move. Wonderful passer, has head and eye discipline at a young age, doesn't give away the pass with his eyes.

 I predict if there is a Karl Town's like draft jump it will be this kid, Marques Bolden.

 Town's was my Binkie when he was rated #5 overall before the season started at Kentucky.
 Bolden is currently ranked #8 but will be top 3 by seasons end.

162 pounds is tiny. Also you linked a Dennis smith jr vid not a lonzo ball one

This is tough as I like a lot of players but without picking a top prospect like Josh Jackson, whom I liked for a year now, I'd say Bam Adebayo from Kentucky. I also think when all is said and done that Markelle Fultz may be the best player.

Fultz looks electric, he is another kid that wasn't on the national radar until his junior season, I actually think that this year was his first playing varsity and now he is considered the top prospect.  He just dominated for Team USA.  It's so much less stressful that the C's don't need to get the top pick this year, they can land from 1-5 or 6 and walk away with a future all star or franchise changer...

Yes, me too.

He looks dynamite...

"There's one thing those who have watched Fultz's progression can agree on: there's no obvious pro comparison for his talent. Guards with his vision do not have his size, and guards with his size rarely have his speed."

Yeah, so far, I like this draft more than last years at this time. I also looked at the prospects for 2018 and there are BIGS galore. I love Mohamed Bamba just on his name alone. I'd hate to trade that pick, along with any valuable pieces that are already on the roster (AB, MS,JC, IT) unless we get a stud or studs (obviously) in return.

Not a top pick right now, but with one of our later picks a pick I'd LOVE is Johnathan Jeanne. Great shot blocker, athletic, and can be stashed if need be.

Right now I think I like Jackson the best, follwed by Ntilinka and Giles. If Giles hasn't lost a step athletically and stays healthy, he's likely to go #1. Ntilinka reminds me of Rondo, and I don't use the comparison lightly. Another guy I was just reading about is Lauri Markkanen, who looks like the Bender of this year's draft:

He'll be playing for Arizona though so we'll get to see him vs NCAA competition. The other international big that I really liked this year was Jonathan Jeanne, and another guy to keep an eye on is OG Anunoby, who has Kawhi Leonard-esque length.

I wouldn't call any of these guys a "binkie" yet at this stage, but it's my current short list.

I honestly thought Fultz was listed at 6'5. Apparently at the most recent usa bball he was 6'3.5". It looks like his 6'4.75" measure was an outlier.
