Following potential 2014 draftees

[A-Train (old)]

Exum doesn't play above the rim as much as I'd like, and his dribble moves need work. He's got good size and feel, and he can dominate average sized PGs, but I'm not seeing greatness just yet.

Announcers at the Nike Hoop Summit were comparing his athleticism and finishing to that of Michael Jordan.

No.. Exum is slightly ahead of them..

Wow... for real?

errr....really? I think that's a stretch. Jordan could dunk over guys like Patrick Ewing and Mel Turpin. I don't see Exum doing that. He barely gets above the rim. He also doesn't have the strength and drive of Jordan. I think he's a middle class Penny Hardaway.

I think he'll be there for us at #6 or #7, in part because it will be hard to compare him to the U.S. players if he stays overseas.

^^^ Announcers always get caught up in the moment though.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I like him, but I don't think he puts us over the top....

If it comes down to it, I'd rather get a wing with more of a power game.

I want Wiggins or Parker.

He kinda looks like Wesley Johnson from afar... But I agree, with Hayward already on the team, I'd prefer more of a power player...

This will be an interesting year of college basketball and I think this will have 25,000+ pages of posts because we will have a higher pick and we are almost up to 1,500 posts and the 2013 draft just ended.

He can handle, pass and play defense though.

Keep an eye on this guy. If Kanter can help spread the floor and open lanes for this guy, that might be good enough.

If we don't get Wiggins or Parker, I think Aaron Gordon would be a really nice consolation prize.

holy cow Gordon can jump.

I'd take Randle over Gordon.... if we're gonna go for BPA...

 

[Dr. Jones]

Yeah.
Wiggins
Parker
Randle
Gordon
...
The remaining 5.....

 

[The Midnight]

I have a feeling we're gonna get a top #5 pick this year... if our SL games are any indication.. LOL..

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Yeah.
Wiggins
Parker
Randle
Gordon
...

I get it, but Gordon might actually end up in range if we don't win in the lottery.

 

[spycam1]

I see the Jazz pick being around 5 or 6...with the possibility of moving into the top 3 if we have injuries. Which we will.

We are a .500 team and we beat the heat...

Guys... we need a "Super Star" from this draft. We need a Tim Duncan, Kevin Durant, DWade, type player from this draft.

Who do you guys see as having that potential???
