Monday 4/3: Draft prospects playing on TV today (ongoing) 2017 Draft

[The One]

Miles Bridges back after missing 7 games with high ankle sprain.

Izzo was cautious and only played him 17 minutes. He got 6 and 6 though with 2 LOUD jams.

Here's one:

i'm glad to see the explosiveness is still there

Lottery talent.

I agree...plus he has a pro body now.

And thanks for all the updates!!

I'm all in on Markelle Fultz. What an incredible player.

Great skills, no doubt. It's too bad he plays for such a crappy team. Just like LSU and Simmons last year, we will never get to see him in any meaningful games since his team doesn't have a prayer in the world of making the NCAAs.

 Big-time players make big-time plays in crunch time. The closest that Fultz has gotten to that this year was New Year's night playing against rival Washington state   He had two drives at the end of the game that were crucial but he couldn't finish.

Again, the talent is there. I would just like to see him perform in some pressure situations.

Don't they play UCLA a couple of times?

A pro's body and he's only 18 years old...scary.

Yeah, you're right. February 4th and march 1st. Zona twice too.

But they lost to YALE!?!? Hard for me to really gauge the guy on a team like this.

The skills certainly are there, but he's playing in a totally non competitive environment.  Lost by 20+ at home tonight to a good Oregon team.  Simmons was far more impressive to my memory, and LSU was at least competitive in the SEC.  His ability to finish at the rim is excellent, but to me the athleticism isn't truly elite, and he just doesn't seem to be making his team better.  As others have said, it's just tough to get a really good read on him.

TP My thoughts exactly. I am I'm impressed with the talent but I want to see if he has the clutch gene.

I don't know if I can handle listening to Walton two nights in a row.  Especially with UCLA playing.

Ball and Leaf on right now looking like they deserve their lofty draft status.

Leaf with a big-time poster.
