Well, I got my top priority in Escamilla, who will make a nice, big, scoring SG for me and simply doesn't turn the ball over. His defense is adequate for College standards (whatever that means in the pro's) and he was pretty much scoring over anyone thrown at him, including the games vs. top competition. He was the main reason Mississippi was the only unseeded team in the Elite Eight upsetting #7 Miami and #9 Oklahoma behind Escamillas scoring in the process. So lets wait and see what his superb scoring and ballhandling translates into now that he faces top defenders in the big league. Interesting sidenote: NONE of the other seven guys I submittet for the pick #28 was among those choosen from #21-#29. So either I do scouting on a complete different base or I'm completely off target when it comes to evaluating talent ...   |

D+ at D with no Pot is a no no.

I got this HS kid with poor shooting % but there's not much left so I took a chance on him. I was very high on John Mitchell, he has good ratings in college but for some reason didn't play much.

At least it will be difficult for him to get any worse if the potential isn't true. |

D+ at D with no Pot is a no no. You believe way too much that our SSBA rating scale is appropriate. Escamillas defense at D+ is a tad off the mark here. And what did I look for? Instant offense of the bench for now and who knows what this guy might become in 2-3 seasons. He sure has the body to be a better swingman. Or did you really expect picking a future starter here in the lower echelons of this draft ? btw, did you notice the discrepancy between scouted pot on our SSBA rating scale and scouted potential according to FCBC ? I give you two examples: #18 pick Daniel Holt (Kansas) over achieved in ALL ratings but def.reb. according to FCBC. Yet he's an "A" pot here ? Kentucks PG Roland Talbott, undrafted so far, ist just D pot here in our rating but has some potential not utilized in FCBC. Strange too. |

Well, we shall soon find out how the potential translates. That is one of the toughest things about this draft, imo. Next year we will all have a better idea. Of course, the potential in SSBA had been known to be wrong. Just, not in Daniel Holt's case, of course  |

Yes, we shall see.
Larry overachieved in one cat, underachieved in another. Remembering that FBB potential is a combination of all the FBCB potentials (i.e. because Larry has a B PRD potential in FBCB doesn't mean it's more likely he improves in defense in FBB), I'd guess a C potential is just about right.
But IMO this SHOULD give us a better glimpse into whether scouted potential is wrong (i.e. I'd be surprised if Holt's true potential isn't lower than his displayed scouted potential).
