2018 NBA Draft Early Entry Thread

[Deano]

So an 80-88% chance that Tyus comes back?

IMHO he gone.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

I’m thinking about declaring so I can get some feedback. Because I can’t figure out on my own that I’m too slow, too weak, can’t handle the ball well enough, can’t shoot well enough if it’s not a driveway game played at one basket, can’t guard anybody that’s not as slow as me, and that my only strength is I can probably make 85-90% from the free throw line in practice if I’m not tired. Scout me! Give me FEEDBACK. Tell me what to work on! Waste your time on me!

Frankly, I think if I was a front office guy I’d be writing some of these kids off for not knowing their limits. Who the heck wants a guy who “doesn’t get it” on their team. Those are the guys who can completely suck but still blame the coach when they sit the bench.

Pro leagues are full of guys who some coach didn't believe in.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

I would imagine there’s not much feedback if they’re not interested in you. This isn’t the NBA scouts all giving free services to every marginal college player that requests it. They don’t have time for that.

Not being interested is feedback

Red flag character flaw right there. If you're going to make a commitment, you better stick to it.

Is this tongue-and-cheek straw man? Or taking a shot at those who (quite legitimately) disliked the Bazely commitment/de-commitment/commitment/de-commitment/G-L circus? Lol. I can't tell since, of course, entering the draft (without signing an agent) isn't a commitment at all. It's just an opportunity to be evaluated.

Was going to put this in the Tyus thread but it wasn't open to any more comments...
Today's CBS mock draft has him at #30. First mock draft I've seen in a while that had him in the first round.

This is direct competition with Tyus. Along with DiVincenzo. A lot of SG's that appear to be higher on the pecking order based on reports.

Brent Axe said yesterday on his radio show that the scout he speaks to wouldn't be surprised if Tyus went undrafted and he's most likely mid to late 2nd round.

I take ANYTHING that Brent Axe says with a huge grain of sodium chloride. The guy's a hack to the highest degree.

His scout source has been spot on multiple times in the past

I'd take a CBS mock draft over anything that Axe says, source or no source.

It's the same scout that exactly predicted where Mali/Lydon/Ennis would get drafted. I tend to believe this.

This source has been dead on accurate since Grant and Ennis left. Dont think of it coming from the horses mouth

If this is true and I’m sure Battle is getting the same info, I don’t understand how he doesn’t come back.

Next years draft should be nowhere as deep, his measurable are good and won’t get worse and he has a better team around him to show off the skills that he needs to show for him to be a first round pick.

He can be a Kris Dunn.

why was the other battle thread shut down?
