Following potential 2014 draftees

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Aaron Gordon lists as a PF, but he's basically the size of an SF (physically close to Chandler Parsons). He's got the quickness and enough skill out on the floor to play SF primarily.

Kanter/Favors/Gordon/Hayward/Burke. I think that's enough to really compete with OKC and Houston at the top of the west.

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???

Wiggins, Parker, Randle.

 

[A-Train (old)]

Hmm I like Harrison better than Gordon, but Gordon is still top-5.

 

[The Midnight]

Wiggins, Parker, Randle.

I don't know if he'll be athletic enough to be "elite" though??


How many players in this league that are elite but aren't athletic?

Wiggins, Randle, Parker, Andrew Harrison, Dante Exum, and Aaron Gordon all look like probable All Stars to me. The first three are locks. Maybe a couple are HOF.

Carmelo.

I agree with this. The first three are superstars, the next three are all-stars who can become superstars. Maybe one or two HOF.

I'm saying that Gordon fits our team, as he's an explosive, long SF who can be a go-to scorer. Of course, I'd draft Wiggins, Randle, or Parker too. When the dust settles Gordon might be on the same level as Parker, but for different reasons. Gordon does a lot for a 6'9" wing. More than Paul George for that matter. He looks like a guy who can single-handedly break a defense with his first step.

Carmelo.

anyone else?

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Carmelo.

Carmelo is an elite athlete. Not as much as he used to be, but he's a 6'8" Power 3 with a great first step.

I wouldn't call him elite.

No need for anyone else, because Jabari plays like Carmelo and we will call him why his first name just like Carmelo.

I like it too.

 

[The Midnight]

Just a bit worried about Jabari's athleticism.


We need an All Star out of this draft and I'm not comfortable picking someone who has a glaring weakness/question mark.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Jabari would immediately become our best player... tomorrow.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Danny Manning was an All Star, but he never really worked out as a first-option.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I'd call him 'Jab' before I called him 'bari'......just sayin'

 

[The Midnight]

Jabari would immediately become our best player... tomorrow.

that's not saying much though.. we need an elite All Star out of this draft.

Period.
