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

[clevelandceltic]

Tatum looks darn good in the first half of this game.  I'm thrilled that he's basically the worst case scenario with Fultz, Ball, and Jackson ahead of him.  Our future is bright.

He looks even better in the second half.  And yeah, I really like that Tatum is our pick's floor.

Im fine with them taking Tatum. I think he would be a great fit for a team looking for someone who can create a shot. Someone that can switch on defense and in need of size on the wing.

This is exciting. One of Fultz, Ball, Jackson, Tatum.....wow.

20 games to watch tomorrow.

Wish we had another later first. Still, so much talent including internationals, that Danny's second round drafting prowess could get us some talent there too.

Lots of intriguing big men mocked in the middle of the first: Allen, Patton, Hartenstein, Williams, Rabb.

Tatum led his team with 25 points on 9-15 shooting in a tough win.  Josh Jackson was suspended and his team lost.  Who do you want?  I think it's a tough call, but I want Tatum.  He reminds me so much of Pierce.

Tatum had a good game at the right time. Would've had 28 but that 3 got disallowed. He's got real skills already with room to grow both physically and head-wise.

Jacksons second incident within a month is a concern. Glad the KU administration gave him a slap and suspended him for a tournament (even though just a conference tourney) game. Not sure they would've done it next week in the field of 64. He's a great prospect though.

I'm thrilled,as I've said many times, to be getting one of Fulton, Ball, Jackson or Tatum.

Just one game for each of them.

Harry Giles has fallen to 25 in the DraftExpress mock.  He really needs to stay at Duke another year.  My favorite big, Robert Williams, is up to #10 in their mock.  Really hoping that Ainge does a draft day trade to get him.

Whiteside for a '17 pick swap, Rozier and Crowder and we take Williams at 14?

I like Williams too. A lot of bigs in the 10-30 range.. a lot (13).

Williams, Hartenstine, Bridges, Leaf, Patton, Jarrett Allen, Rabb, Giles, Swanigan, Bam, Motley, Lydon and my favorite Collins.

Love to get a shot at one.

I haven't watched any tape at all on R. Williams, but his measurables look awesome. My question is, can he play PF or is he best as an undersized center? I know his length helps make up for it, but hey if he is a PF man is he enormous.

He mostly play PF at Texas A&M.  He's a raw prospect who is more advanced defensively.  I think he compares favorably to Noel.  Much better rebounder, 20lbs heavier/stronger, more blocks not as many steals, moves/runs pretty well but not as good as Noel.  With his movement, leaping and length, he closes out well on 3pt shooters. 

Here are his highlights from the Kentucky game.  He's pretty good mid-range but he's not a 3pt shooter even though he makes one at the end.  He's got a decent back to the basket post game.  Willing but not always good passer.

Anyone see Duke-Carolina yesterday?  I'm curious how Giles looked, from the box he had a nice contribution, 6 points, 7 rebounds, 4 blocks.  Would be great if he had a nice late season run and got himself back in the lottery mix.
