Na had him 3 for bout a week now.
My prediction is he goes 2 in 2015.

You think he will play college level?

 

[Crafted]

You think he will play college level?

Watching interviews, it looks like almost a certainty that he will play College level.

He has already visited Indiana and says that he is open to invites from other College's as well.

 

[Wizard]

Yep, no doubt in my mind.
Then a one & done drafted #2 behind Okafor.

If Dante does go to college, he'll can join a team in late december/early january, which would give him a real advantage going into the 2014/15 season having already spent half a season with team.

Could see Kentucky really targeting him hard to come in an work with/behind their stacked 2014 class, and then be the main focus with Karl Towns. Gives Cal the extra half year to work with him.

Let's hope it's true

Watched Ben Simmons play for Bulleen against Ringwood in Big V Championship this evening. Was great to watch, the athleticism of the kid was so far above anyone on the court. He got on the end of some very good service by his teammates, but moved to the right spots and attacked the ring very well.

If there's any reason to be critical, he didn't look to have much of a jump shot as yet, but it doesn't matter too much and will come later.

What does everyone know about Jonah Bolden and Deng Adel??
Any chance of either these two to make it to the NBA at all??

is this the Deng at LSU ?

 

[Wizard]

is this the Deng at LSU ?

I believe so, i know absolutely nothing of him though.
Have heard serious queries of what his actual age is which i assume is raising eyebrows.

 

[Indie_]

Bolden has insane athleticism. Watching him dunk...

Crazy.

my neighbor went to school with him, can't shoot but is super athletic,
they think he was at least early-mid 20's, regardless he won't make the League,
so far up his on arse that he refers to himself in general conversation as "King Deng" often.
