Instead of making profiles for everyone underclasmen, I'll just put up their ratings here... check it out.

if you have questions about any of these SGs, post them here!

Elston Turner, Jr. SO is returning for his junior year.

henry looks like an absolute madman. how far off until he can produce star numbers if he has the assumed potential?

[duce]

also who would you say has the most scoring talent out of these players? and who is the best shooter...

I'd give it 3 years, if not 4. He does look like he could be the top pick. But he's still very raw. Outside of athleticism/strength/size, he is still developing his game. Guys like that tend to take longer to develope, but end up being stars down the line. So yeah, 4 would be a safe bet, assuming he has that kind of potential.

Lacedarius Dunn is definitely one of the top scorers. But the rest of his game is below average.

But James Harden is the guy you'd want. He is a pure shooter, with great range.

Since Harden will be gone in the top 5. Look for Summers and Legion later down the line.

cool!...

interesting that dunn is so good, i flat out ignored him at first glance because of those other ratings haha.

i could definitely see myself taking harden and having Lawson-Harden-Evans with a very fast offense... tempting. or am i lying? who knows anymore mwuahahahaaaaa.

At 23 years old, do you feel Gerald Henderson is at the peak of his game? Or is there room for improvement?

And what are the chances of Boynton or Henry declaring?

Well his ratings have improved since his soph ratings
C+ C C- B C- B

That's always a good sign. He may be a bit of a risk to take, but scouts still believe there is some gas left in the tank.

Both have stressed that they would like to stay another year in school. So it is unlikely that they will declare.

Yeah. Dunn isn't as athletic as guys like Harden, Legion, Cheek, Boynton. So his scoring is even better. Because guys like Cheek and Boynton have goods hops and strength, so in their inside scoring is actually lower than Dunn's. But like I said earlier, Dunn isn't more than a bench player.

looks like wayne ellington gonna be the bust he was in uosl1? late 1st round, early 2nd round projected?

Different situations. Wayne Ellington was hyped up to be the greatest in uosl1. And ended up like B- A- C+ A- C which was a solid starter but not what people expected.

in uosl2, he isn't supposed to be anything more than a backup. So yeah, just because of his name, I see him going in first round. But yeah late 1st/early 2nd.

Hmmm.. Harden looks like the Evans of last draft..

[Ducky]

IN-
A Kenny Boynton(Florida) SG 19 6-2 185lbs B- B- C B- D+ A FR - What a freshman year this man had. Boynton has just declared and he looks to be a top 5 pick.

B Elliot Williams(Duke) SG 21 6-4 180lbs B- C C+ B- D+ B SO - Him and Gerald Henderson had tremendous season's at Duke.

B Travis Releford(Kansas) SG 20 6-5 190lbs C+ C+ C- B- C- B SO - Releford has entered the draft. His defense is a plus to many scouts.

C+ Lacedarius Dunn(Baylor) SG 21 6-4 190lbs B- B- D+ C D+ C JR - The scorer. Dunn averaged 21ppg in college last season. But than again, his team did go 10-21.

OUT-
B+ Durrell Summers(Michigan State) SG 21 6-5 195lbs B- B C C+ D B JR - Great scorer, but Summers wants to work on the rest of his game. Definitely would have been the top scorer in the draft, scouts are disappointed.

B- Willie Warren(Arizona) SG 20 6-4 200lbs C C+ C+ C+ D+ A SO - Good choice. Warren is too young and didn't see enough court time. And with Jennings entering the draft, he may finally seem some time instead of palying behind Jennings and Johnson.

B+ William Buford(Ohio State) SG 20 6-5 185lbs C+ C+ C C+ D+ A SO - Buford has great upside, but obviously he wants to improve his game in college another year before he makes the jump to UOSL.

A- Dominic Cheek(Ohio State) SG 19 6-6 185lbs B- B- C C D+ A FR - Him and Buford will spend another season at Ohio State terrorizing teams.
