Stokes will be solid 4 year player for us

[zansdad]

Be interesting to see if he grows into his shoes. If Stokes has a ridiculous growth spurt like Anthony Davis had he could not only go early next year he could be a lottery guy. A lot of it depends on if he is still 6'8" (listed) next year or is a legit 6'10".

I'd love that guy to be listed 6'10" 270 lbs going into next year, that's a scary dude.

Greatest thread OAT.

However, since this thread is a UT thread, expect that 4* to be bumped down to a 3* and by some recruiting services to knock this thread down to a 2*.

I wish this thread would decommit and go to another forum so we could all say we didn't need it anyway...

opcorn: I love this place!

I agree. VN is my home away from home... and part of my home at home. lol

He wont be here 4 years, but he is far from a lock for the lottery next year. He will be undersized in the NBA at the 4, not extremely athletic and way to slow to play the 3. Drummond is 6'11 and is a terrible comparison. Those couple of inches is a big deal in the NBA. Especially the draft.

the kid is now supposedly 6'9", im not saying he is going to keep growing but he says thats what the doctors have said.

if he can just get to 6'10" the guy has lottery written all over him.

if he is actually 6'6" like some seem to think and doesnt grow another inch, then you are correct he is undersized.

personally, from seeing him in person recently next to yemi, i believe he's right there at 6'9"

No way he is headed to NBA early.

I think he will be solid player, maybe a Patrick Patterson type. He just doesn't have much on the offense end of floor, got a lot of work to do.

Actually, you make a fair point. I will take back my original statement and amend it to say 3 1/2 years.

9-10 from the field, unbelievable.

he needs to be told take 15 shots a game if it's there, he is too talented not to, but he is just a bit passive.

until tonight that is.

I'll eat some crow.

Although in my defense, I was basically on board with you 6 months ago saying he wasn't gonna be first round this year.

You ever heard of this stuff called money?

You have to get drafted or make a team to make money.

I for one am glad he hasn't fully "blossomed" yet...With Maymon looking like a redshirt this year, I believe we have the potential to be VERY good next year with Hubbs coming in, Stokes a year older and Maymon back...I was concerned we wouldn't get to see Stokes and Maymon again...hopefully Stokes continues to expand his game and really breaks out next year
