Hola from Baja! Thought I'd drop in just to say I'm not dead. I did come close though with some strange thing called Hyponatremia. which basically means low sodium. I had never heard of it, but it almost killed me. But all is well now and I'm working on my data base for the upcoming college season.
No point in giving my opinion on any player right now since I really don't have much to go on with the freshman except highschool film, and it's a big jump from high school to college. There are some Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors that I like, and there are a few of them that I expect to take a big jump this season. But we'll see. Just to throw a few names out, I like Mark Mitchell from Duke, Tristan Da Silva from Colorado, , Kam Jones from Marquette. Marquette is loaded this year by the way.
I also like Bryce Hopkins from Providence, and I'm hopeful that Kevin McCullar from Kansas finds his three point shot, because he's one of the best defensive players in college. I have to throw Tucker DeVries from Drake in there as well. One thing all these players have in common is that they're all likely 2nd rd picks, and since the Kings don't have a 1st rd pick, that's where my focus will be.
I think Baba Miller is an interesting player to watch with his great size and length who could end up in the 2nd rd. There are a couple of bigs that could slide into the 2nd rd as well, like Aaron Bradshaw from Kentucky, and Kel'el Ware, now with Indiana. The last name I'll throw out there is Riley Kugel from Florida, who is a borderline 1st rd pick, but more likely to be in the 2nd rd.
If you asked me who is the first pick in this draft, I couldn't tell you. Not yet! I do think there's a lot of talent in this draft and that the talent runs fairly deep, but there's no Lebron James or Kevin Durant in this draft, at least at the moment there doesn't appear to be. That could all change in the next month or so. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the season and it's nice to feel healthy again.
