Looking at some draft sites

[Goingfor9]

Monk in the top 5
Fox anywhere from 4-10
Bam inside and outside the lottery

I think monk and fox are in the proper ranges but to me Bam should be a top 7 pick without a doubt. What's preventing him ? Size? I've seen some of his high school footage and he can hit midrange jumpers.

I don't see briscoe anywhere but at the bottom of the second rd. I know many say he's gone but really? Could he return with Gabriel,hump, and SKJ? Thoughts?

Briscoe is a 4 year player. The only problem is he doesn't think he is.

I've heard all the arguments on why Briscoe should stay. While I don't disagree with them per se, I don't think they matter. He came to UK because he wants to be a pro. Nothing wrong with that. He was reeeeeally close to leaving last year after shooting like a one-armed chimp with cerebral palsy.

Don't look now but he's shooting 31% from three and 74% from the line. He showed last year that he's tough, a good on-ball defender and can finish really well around the rim. This year he's showing that he's not an absolutely pathetic shooter and he's improving. That's exactly what he wanted to show. He's gone.

I think Bam is only suffering (slightly) because this draft is loaded with great guards and it's becoming a guard dominant league.

He will still be one of the first 3-4 bigs off the board.

Briscoe is a guy who would have been a 4 year player in any other era.

In this era, guy's like Briscoe can play in the NBADL for a decent wage, and fight their way to the league.

Bam is 6'10 250.

He could play center in the NBA no doubt.

Draft Express still has Bolden going in front of Thomas Bryant, which makes no sense to me.

They also still have Gracie Allen in the first round.

Neither do some of our posters.

I don't know if Briscoe can play in the NBA or not, but part of the problem is that he doesn't compare to anyone. He's a bit of an outlier in his build, athleticism, and playing style. Briscoe is a football player, playing basketball.
