Following potential 2014 draftees

The only thing that worries me about Randle are the rumors that he prefers to be a 3 in the pros and his t rex arms

Really? Perfect! Just what we need.

I know that Wiggins is said to be the best player this year. But he seems not as polished yet in my opinion as Randle or Parker. What would you do? Take a more polished player that helps now? Or take the gamble in hopes Wiggins does blow up and is all he is touted and more?

That is correct, but I still take Wiggins as of now.

I assure you that is not Randle's way of thinking. He is a yes sir kind of kid that just goes to work. Want him inside? He obliges. Outside, he'll do that too.
He understands that coaches (smart ones at least) play to skillsets more so than positions.

You go for the home run in the nba..its about having those onece a decade type players you need to win titles..not that Wiggins is a Lebron or Kboe level talent hes not but if things break right he could be a franchise player..he has a long way to go but in the nba you have to take that gamble

Ok if true thats good because hed be wastign his talents by being a 3 imo..But i also understand that he needs to have a decent peremter game as well because hes not gonna be able to overpower and bully people in the pros like hes doing now..

I think he is that level of potential. I really do. I only question his desire.

Agree completely. Been saying the same throughout this thread..... mostly to hottnikkk.

And that is my fear. His mental toughness. I see it with Randle. And I have heard Parker has that hate to lose mentality. Yet Wiggins seems less inspired at times. Maybe I'm looking into it too much.

I dont see Lebron because what seperates Bron from him is physical build and court vision/passing ability which is way ahead of Wiggins at the same age..

Wiggins kinda reminds me a little of Nique/ David Thompsonish type player

Yeah I didn't mean it as a comp at all... just talking about greatness. I see the better comp as Jordan.. but then he doesn't seem to have an ounce of Jordan's relentless killer instinct.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Wiggins = weak psyche Jordan
Parker = Rich man's Pierce
Randle = taller Sir Charles

Oh i know you didnt mean it as a comp i just think Wiggins as a prospect is a notch below Bron which isnt a knock were talking a top 5 player of all time..

 

[Dr. Jones]

btw.. Randle ended his 22pts on only 7 fga.

so far averaging;

22.5pts
14.5rbs

I like those..i saw Simmons compare Randle to what Coleman should have been i guess its not that far fetched..

Parker really impressed the hell out of me cant remember a player with that refined an offensive arsenal at such a young age and while hes not an athletic freak hes more athletic then i thought he was..

[Dr. Jones]

These are ceilings I'm assuming.

I guess.. just my best attempt of communicating what I see.

 

[Dr. Jones]
