The draft took place less than a month ago, and this season’s rookies will be immediately thrown into the fire. This draft class will be asked to perform without the benefit of Summer League play, an orientation period, and training time in the gym and weight room. To make matters worse, training camp will last just a couple of weeks and feature only a few [ . . . ]
When the 2019-20 college basketball season tipped off, Isaac Okoro was somewhat off the radar. He arrived at Auburn as the 36th ranked freshman in the 2019 class. It didn’t take long for the athletic 18-year-old (now 19) to get noticed, and when the season was over, Okoro was an All-SEC selection and an All-SEC Defensive selection. For the season, he averaged 12.8 points, 4.4 [ . . . ]
Coming off their worst season since 2001, the Golden State Warriors have completely reset. Ideally, they can jumpstart another multi-year championship run with the help of this year’s draft. Due to their severe lack of wins this past season, they were awarded the second-overall pick in the NBA Draft, though this draft contains no guaranteed Zions or Lukas (that we know of now). In order [ . . . ]
Back in September, members of the Hoops Prospects staff (Lee Branscome, TJ Brown, Riley Millett, and myself) plus two friends of the site (Dustin Barnes and Coleman Klein) got together for the first-ever HP Collaborative NBA Mock Draft. Each participant represented multiple teams in the draft (see below), and each started with 10 picks. Unfortunately, Lee had to leave the draft at the end of [ . . . ]
The order for the 2020 NBA Draft is finally set, but the actual draft is at least six weeks away. This class features a ton of point guards/combo guards, and at the same time, there is a notable shortage of wings with good size and a reliable outside shot. Also, quality rim protectors are in short supply. There is no clear-cut top prospect this year, [ . . . ]
If Cavs fans were expecting a drama-free environment in Cleveland after LeBron’s escape to LA, then they were wrong. This season was a rollercoaster, but instead of fighting for playoff seeding, Cleveland was fighting for lottery balls. Between John Beilein’s numerous trip-ups, Kevin Love’s outbursts, and unexpected trades, the Cavs found themselves in the center of attention more often than anticipated. There are plenty of [ . . . ]
Hoops Prospects has been updating its mock draft since October, and even though the draft is nearly four months away, it’s time to explore each selection in detail. The 2020 draft class has no clear-cut top prospect, with at least three players being a viable possibility to be the No. 1 overall pick. This class features a ton of point guards/combo guards, and at the [ . . . ]
The college basketball season has passed the midway point. Conference play is in full swing, and March Madness is less than seven weeks away. It has been a crazy season so far, with no team establishing itself as the clear-cut favorite to win the NCAA championship, and at the same time, no player has established himself as the clear-cut favorite to be the top overall [ . . . ]
