http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2345433-kings-court-nba-scouts-weigh-in-on-potential-of-college-hoops-biggest-stars

here are my thoughts:

Okafor (i agree) - excellent low post scorer and passer. not the best defender, lazy at times. needs better conditioning but that can be worked out.

russell (i agree) - good scorer (better shooter than i thought) with good passing intincts but im worried about his lack of athleticism. his defense or lack of defense is hidden in that ohio st zone. u need that to be a good nba pg (most of the time)

KATowns (i agree) - this is a tall kid who is still growing into his body and learning how to use it. so he seems a bit awkward at times. but regardless he has an excellent skill set (runs like unibrow, shoots like frye, underrated toughness). reminds me of a skinnier bynum 2.0 that can run and shoot

Turner (i agree) - hes not ready...too raw and still learning the game (fouls much, takes way to many jumpers - thinks hes KD) but once he figures it out hell be great. LMA 2.0. hell be drafted as a lottery pick but still raw

winslow (i agree) - isnt a good basketball player - hes an athlete that might be a better football player. he defends and can jump out the sky. but he cant shoot, dribble or pass MKG 2.0

Alexander (i agree) - classic case of an overhyped bigman who dominated vs HS competition. hes a 4 yr college player. if he does make an NBA team its cuz of his hustle

Booker (sleeper) - i think this kid is klay 2.0. if i could i would make a trade to get him in the lottery. GREAT shooter. excellent athlete. this kid should be a lottery pick

Cauley-Stein (i disagree with the article) - i think the kid WAS immature but luckily he stayed in college. now he has matured to a more consistent player. he is tyson 2.0. no offense, just dunks, alleyoops and def

Harrison twins (i agree) - great size but inconsistent shooters and playmakers (overhyped)

Dakari Johnson (i agree) - hell make an NBA team cuz of his size and motor but he doesnt really have skills (not ready yet)

Stanley johnson (ehh) - best wing defender ive seen in college. great motor. excellent on the fast break. not as good a shooter as i thought. again, hes not ready yet but in a few yrs hell be good. the NBA is better suited for his game

Kaminsky (i agree) - an excellent stretch 4 who can shoot, dribble and pass. reminds me of Mirotic 2.0. finished product NOW

Lyles - i agree that hes underrated but im not as high on him. any 6-10 big man with those skills will be drafted but im just not sure of his upside since he lacks athleticism

Oubre (i agree) - was overhyped but i can see the potential. he does look like hes half asleep but hes got a smooth jumper and does everything so easily. reminds me of james young last yr from kentucky

Delon wright (i agree) - nice size for a PG and athletiicsm but cant shoot

- If i didnt mention the rest of the folks on the list its cuz i dont think theyre NBA good. I think they play well in college because they have good skills but that might not work in the NBA cuz theyre too small or slow

- one person thats not on the list that i have my eye on is terry rozier from Louisville. a 6-2 bundle of energy that can shoot lights out

Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better
