I know I can just google this but it’ll be easier to check this thread. Plus, shakes can go crazy with his thoughts here.

I basically don’t know shit outside of the major guys like Bagley, Young, etc. Which guys am I watching for that are in the top 30-45 projected guys. Preferably shakes or someone else bump this thread when one of those guys is playing on national tv that night or whatever. Need something else to follow now that the nfl is coming to an end.

Bruce Brown, he's a tall guard, huge wing span and plays great D.. Miami is on TV pretty often so he's easy to catch on the tube. Probably a huge steal in the second round.

I think he is projected to be a 1st round guy

Bulls mostly need a 3 & D type guy. Wing defender. I guess meaning their 2nd round pick if they don’t sell it like assholes again. First round pick they obviously just need the best fucking guy.

If you're looking for a 3 and D guy, a really elite one will probably fall in our lap in the first round. Jaren Jackson Jr, freshman at Michigan State. 6'11, already an excellent college 3 pt shooter and considered by many to be the best all around defensive player in the freshman class alongside Mo Bamba.

Currently projected as the top prospect just outside the initial tier of 6 players (Bagley, Ayton, Doncic, Bamba, Young, Porter), but could very well move into that tier by the end of the season.

Right? Part of the recovery is I have to basically sit in a lazy boy in front of the tv for 6 weeks. I might even rig something up so I can prop open my eyelids ala Clockwork Orange.

I think the Bulls should draft Grayson Allen. He's an experienced and really hard worker from a program known for producing top quality NBA players, and has a lot of fire and passion. In some ways he reminds me of Paxson himself! Those are the kind of guys you need to build around to become competitive for championships in today's NBA.

Shakes is letting me down. Robert Williams and Kevin Knox are playing eachother on Espn right now.

Don’t see why this Robert Williams guy is a top prospect. Doesn’t start and doesn’t seem to do much.

Williams might be the poster child for why you should never go back to school when you are a projected lotto pick. I really liked him last year, but this year he has definitely taken a step back. First he started the year suspended. Then whey they did bring him back they brought him off the bench. Then he got sick or suspended again, hard to keep track with this A&M team and now he is back and coming off the bench again. Looks lost out there at times. Great hops, athlete, but doesn't finish strong in traffic. Has little to know offense other than lobs.

Knox is a late lotto pick, supposed to be a great shooter, but honestly I haven't seen much out of him this year other than a few nice offensive plays here and there.


Kentucky vs A&M was a great game, but hardly the only game getting my attention last night. I actually watched parts of 9 basketball games last night thanks to my DVR and DIY sports ticker blocker.

KY Vs A&M
Baylor vs #2 WVA
TT vs OU
Butler vs Creighton
Iowa State vs Kansas
Purdue vs Michigan
St Johns vs Georgetown (wanted to see Mullin vs Ewing)
Seton Hall vs Marquette
Lakers vs Kings

Was watching non stop bball from 6pm- midnight.

I understand now. Guy has potential to be an absolute monster on the defensive end in the NBA.

Shakes has really been asleep at the wheel during his one 3 week period of the year to shine.

He’s especially a very intriguing option to play next to Markkanen.

The motivation stuff seems to have some merit but my mind is made up. I want him to be a Bull.
