Maybe in time for a certain 2018 highly possible lottery pick eh? ;)
So what phenoms does that add into the mix for next year's draft if it happens over this season? I'm not up to speed on the high school prospects.

Or are there no underclassmen that stand out among the crowd yet?

Manute Bol's son.

Bol Bol? I had no idea, so just checked out his vids. Hahaha...those genes!!

I don't know man. I'd rather let another team draft a lumbering 7-footer, assuming there are more athletic options available for whatever draft position we have. The game has changed.
He's more like Porzingis than his dad. He has 3 point range.

Okay. I watched this video, which mostly shows him dunking over people half his size and then running back down court with a stride that doesn't exactly exude grace. Doesn't show any shooting, however. I'll check out some other videos later.

Bol Bol is going to be a 7-5 Kevin Durant. I'd trade all the Brooklyn picks to get him.

I don't know much, but Zion Williamson also seems to be a standout. If nothing else, this change would give us tons of options - 2018 would potentially turn into one of the deepest drafts in years bc you basically combine the best of the 18 and 19 classes into one.

Very true.

Iguodala is pissed at the refs at the end of the quarter because LeBron keeps pushing him.

How can Barkley get pissed at JR for that foul? Guy basically fell over his foot, but it didn't look like JR really got out or position and tried to trip him.

At halftime, I said you basically have to hope that Golden State all gets cold at the same time. 1/7 from 3 in that quarter after starting 12/20. Cleveland's offense finally using the ball movement, offensive rebounding, etc. that you need to beat this Golden State defense.

Did you see Lebron making up ground as he tried to chase down that fast break? Dude is like a fucking NFL running back, but he's 6'7, 275.

Refs are only calling the most obvious fouls and that is favoring the LBJs tonight

LeBron drops the shoulder in his sternum and clears with the arm. I don't care where Steph's feet are, that's a charge. If not, LBJ can not be guarded.

Almost never a charge. Mike Gorman gets pissed about it twice a game and Scal always tells him it's a block and that's how the association wants it called
