Juan Hernangomez: “I can’t picture myself returning (to Europe). It’s no disrespect to the ACB or the Euroleague, very much the opposite, I don’t see it as a step back in my career.

Another scout told HoopsHype, “It’s Ant’s team. It’s not KAT’s team, and KAT knows it. I think that’s the future for them. I wish his basketball IQ was a little better.

His defensive commitment has to be better. I think he’s already on his way to becoming a heck of a player. Will he become a top 10 or top 20 guy in the league? Читать дальше...

Former Duke star AJ Griffin enters the NBA Draft as a projected top-10 pick according to our most recent HoopsHype aggregate mock draft. That consensus was echoed by three NBA scouts who spoke to HoopsHype.
