excellent. good pub.

He's a tremendous player. Deserves a chance to play in the NCAA Tournament before he begins his pro career.

 

[HSPORANGE]

I read expert analysis here that he is not very good and will never be drafted or sniff the NBA.

 

[orangeinnyc]

i remember reading that someone on here said he is having a "poor" season and made no improvements to his game. Hmmmmmmmm

 

[tbonezone]

he gone.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

I don't know the answer to who is the best, but I bet Allen will be voted into first place.
I hate Duke.

 

[tbonezone]

i watched a little of duke /unc. grayson allen must spend as much time in front of a mirror practicing his "i've been fouled" grimaces as he does at the line taking free throws. disgraysful.

 

[Cusefan0307]

There’s no way Allen is winning this award. He’s shooting 34% in conference play. His numbers are worse than anything Cooney put up here this year.

 

[ssbriefcase]

Marcus Foster is twice the player Allen is, kid is nasty. Haven't watched a lot of the rest on the list.

He's certainly going to declare. Question is whether he signs with an agent immediately or navigates his feedback with the chance to return if he doesn't like what he hears.

Seems like at this stage he would be wise to declare and not hire an agent. I still personally won't get ahead of myself about him returning. I think he's gone. But if he comes back...a guy can dream.

I think he'll be drafted and think he has a shot to become a 1st round pick, but to be fair, none of the finalists are sure bets to be first rounders and I think Hutchison, Allen, and Battle are currently the only 3 projected to be drafted.

Yeah, by all means he should declare without hiring an agent and see what they say.

Except Battle isn’t projected to be drafted. Trier is, though.

 

[Funk Doc]

I agree that he’s got a lot of holes in his game, but I feel like his workouts(a lot like Malachi) are going to be very good. Fingers crossed he’s back, but I’ve become used to any borderline player leaving!

 

[SoBeCuse]

It’s amazing that there are some posters who think Tyus is one of key problems on this team.

 

[HOFCeluck]

1. Battle is obviously not a “poor” player.

2. College awards don’talways translate to NBA success.

 

[Melancer46]

ESPN has Battle at #47 or 48 and Trier #61.

 

[shu 49]

I like Battle. Should he stay one more year and clean all of his small mistakes up, yeah he should. On the other hand he is fast, athletic and long which any team would like. He is a first rounder just might not be this year, that's all.

Duke

ESPN has Battle at #47 or 48 and Trier #61.

“This top 100 differs from our mock drafts in one crucial way: The top 100 is an overall ranking of all draft-eligible prospects in the 2018 NBA draft, regardless of whether or not we believe they are likely to enter -- or ultimately stay in -- the draft.

“The mock draft attempts to project which players should or will make themselves eligible in April. And down the road, it will also take into account NBA teams' needs, the draft order and things we've learned about front office tendencies.”

 

[Day2]

ESPN has Battle at #47 or 48 and Trier #61.

Trier’s projected to be second round pick on NBADraft.net.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Pretty sure Alkins is rated higher than both Battle and Trier. Not that it matters.
