2015 Draft Watch
Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2017 5:30 pm
With the season closing in on halfway, names are beginning to trickle out as to who is considering entering the 2015 NBA draft.
Internationally, there have been three players that have stood out and have already declared: Emmanuel Mudiay, Kristaps Porziņģis and Thon Maker.
Even at the tender age of 18, Mundiay has made a name for himself in the Chinese league going up against men almost twice his age! Scouts are already convinced that he will be a top 5 pick in next years draft.
Kristaps plays for Cajasol Sevilla in the Liga ACB. At 7 foot 3 he has an uncanny ability to step out and drain 3 pointers while also able to score down low and this rare talent has scouts drooling. Very young but has all the tools to be an all-star for many years.
Thon is a wildcard. After moving to Australia, he was discovered while playing soccer and then moved to the US and Canada where he played his high school ball. At 7 foot 1, he is similar to Kristaps but can handle the ball like a PG. There are questions about his age and that has scared some scouts away.
