Also D is somewhat optional in the NBA.HUSID74 wrote:If he goes to the NBA he won't be asked to score 30 every night...I think he will play better defense because he will see more limited minutes and there will be less pressure to put up big numbers.
Key for him will be to show he can score coming off the bench, something he hasn't had to do.

A lot of good company there including Shamorie Ponds, Mike Daum, Chris Clemons, Fletcher Magee on and on!!Mikey77 wrote:JWF Honorable Mention All American.
Re: What's Next for JWF?
Now Ponds is down to 51st and JWF is down to 72nd. Among players from schools in the eight states New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, the five players in the Top 100 draft prospects are:EvanJ wrote: ESPN's Top 100 players who want to be drafted dropped JWF from 64th the previous time I checked to 71st. Shamorie Ponds is 46th in the Mock Draft thinking about what team has each pick and 51st in the Top 100 without regards to what individual teams want.
51. Ponds
54. Miye Oni from Yale
71. Tyus Battle from Syracuse
72. JWF
84. Ky Bowman from Boston College
All Players of the Year get an automatic Honorable Mention if they don't make one of the three teams. Including Honorable Mentions, 53 players were honored, so a mid-major conference with 1 of 53 players is a higher percentage than having 1 of 68 NCAA Tournament teams.triplec2195 wrote:A lot of good company there including Shamorie Ponds, Mike Daum, Chris Clemons, Fletcher Magee on and on!!Mikey77 wrote: JWF Honorable Mention All American.
Re: What's Next for JWF?
http://www.espn.com/nba/insider/story/_ ... ig-lottery has him being the final pick. They have him as a PG. They do not have either player who scored over 3,000 being drafted.
Re: What's Next for JWF?
Wouldn't it be ironic if that last team were the Warriors, the same team that drafted Charles?
Re: What's Next for JWF?
http://www.tankathon.com/big_board doesn't have him in the top 66.
Re: What's Next for JWF?
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but Justin Wright-Foreman will not be participating in Portsmouth.

Re: What's Next for JWF?
http://www.espn.com/nba/draft/bestavail ... ovr/page/3 has him up to 60th.
Re: What's Next for JWF?
More immediately, I hope the Haggerty Award is up next for JWF.
Re: What's Next for JWF?
This is disappointing. Would have been a good type of event for him to showcase his skills against some good competition in front of scouts from every NBA team. Making it even more disappointing is that UNCW's Cacok IS participating.cactus wrote:Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but Justin Wright-Foreman will not be participating in Portsmouth.

He may have decided to pass after his outstanding performance in the 3x3.

Scouts have been all over him this year They know what he is capable of
Re: What's Next for JWF?
That would be a big mistake. As much as he shined there, you can't compare showing out in front of scouts in 3x3 vs. actual basketball in a well-known event like Portsmouth.HUSID74 wrote:He may have decided to pass after his outstanding performance in the 3x3.
I also don't think he'd do that. My guess is he wasn't invited, and if so, why not? He would've been deserving.
Re: What's Next for JWF?
Not every scout at Porstmouth and other events over the next few weeks and months has seen him in person this year. Some are the same scouts, some are different. When you're not on anyone's draft board yet, you need every opportunity you can get to showcase yourself.stuball888 wrote:Scouts have been all over him this year They know what he is capable of
Re: What's Next for JWF?
Seniors play Portsmouth in hopes of receiving an invite to the NBA Draft Combine. JWF must have some strong intel on his chances, and saw PIT as having the ability to hurt his chances more than help.
He 10000% received an invite and would have been there if he wanted to be... he's one of the top seniors in the country.

Re: What's Next for JWF?
As a follow-up, it looks like the first invites just went out...

We should hear decently soon if he will, in fact, be included.

Re: What's Next for JWF?
Saw on JWF instagram story the other day that he was playing with Kyle Guy and Naz Reid. I know that Naz received an invite. Pretty sure Kyle Guy will receive one as well. Maybe he knows that he is good to go

But, would still like to see this type of stuff for JWF. This is JWF's good friend from Queens. They had a great duel in November at The Mack, when Allman Jr. had 38 and JWF had 37 in a Hofstra win. But JWF is better. If Allman Jr. is getting workouts like this, JWF definitely should be:
