Fears & the NBA Draft Projections

[skyvue]

I've been waiting for a Sooner to become a Knick or a Net. The Mets are the only NYC team I have a rooting interest in. I'd like to see Fears playing here.

From hoopsHQ (is 5 anonymous scouts opinions combined in each player)


Jeremiah Fears, 6-foot-3 freshman point guard, Oklahoma: “I think he’s tremendous. Elite offensive player. The games I watched he didn’t do much defending. He reclassified up, so he should actually be a freshman this year. That’s a big plus for him. Didn’t play on a great team and they asked him to do a lot of things. Athletic, tough, will be a good defender. He’s got the whole package. He turned the ball over some, but those things happen. He can score on all three levels. Decent size.”

Awful for Jalon. Hate that for him

He looks like he was positioning himself for a potential two-way spot before that happened. Horrible.

 

[CMSOONER]

Terrible news. Hate that for Jalon.

Really interesting that Bailey does not want to go three, four, or five. That could help Fears and others.

I read that as well (directly below)...$10-15 million difference...that's a lot of money for a rookie to leave on the table. Fears #5 in this latest Mock.

Yeah it sounds like he and his agents feel like there are teams where he would have a better chance to play a leading role from the outset, which I guess could also help him financially both in the near term (marketing) and long term (second contract). Definitely a gamble.

Moser did a great job with him. Used him perfectly. Boomer

Like the color choice

Trying to decide where I want Fears to go. Washington is one of the perennial dumpster fires. New Orleans and Brooklyn have at least had some recent success. I would hate for him to end up someplace where there is almost no chance of team success.

Fears to Nola

Congrats, Jeremiah! What an amazing 11 months from when he committed to OU.

 

[SoonerBounce13]

I bet he is bummed he didn’t fall to Brooklyn

 

[TINY]

Congrats, Jeremiah! What an amazing 11 months from when he committed to OU.

Well said! He turbo boosted the program in a big way.

I like the pairing of fears and queen
