2014 Nike Hoop Summit (Clint Capela)

[CFAN38]

Like most years this years game will feature most of the elite for the 2015 draft.

Relevant for this year will be the performance of Clint Capela. If he holds his own against the elite bigs of this high school class (Okafor, Turner, and Alexander) then I believe he firmly places himself in the top 10 of this upcoming draft. He has elite athleticism and length for an NBA. I will be interested to see how he measures at this event he previously measure a 9'2.5"standing reach but only 211lbs (he now looks heavier then that on film, guessing 230)  He is putting up great numbers in the french pro league. Playing for the same team as Rudy Gobert but year younger then Gobert and 2min less per game he is putting up nearly identical stats. Kevin Serephin also played for same team.

Capela    @19 20min 8.5pts 6.5rb 1.8blks
Gobert    @20 22min 8.4pts 5.4rb 1.9blks
Seraphin @20 15min 6.0pts 4.2rb 0.9blks

Also looking at last years Hoops Summit star and Spurs 28th pick Livio Jean-Charles, playing in the same league.

Charles @ 19 14min 3.3pts 2.7rb 0.2blks



This will be interesting because the world team also has elite big in Kentucky Bound Karl Towns and a good high school PG in SMU bound Emmanuel Mudiay.

not exactly a ringing endorsement of the French pro league

The french pro league has produced a good crop of NBA player (Parker, Batum, Diaw,Fournier ). I listed Gobert and Serephin because both are young former 1st round picks who recently played for Capela's team. Gobert is only a rookie and has show some promise when given minutes, Serephin averaged 9pt 4rb a game last year for the Wiz at 23. At 19 Capela is producing at a high rate then either of them. Jean-Charles put up 27pt 13rb last year at the hoop summit and he barley was playing at Capela's age in the same league.

My point was that with a good showing at the summit Capela will shoot up draft boards.
