Following potential 2014 draftees

So, about the knock on Wiggins' desire...

Didn't people criticize LeBron for the same thing (even just a few years ago)?

Not really trying to argue anything, just wondering how their competitive fire (or whatever you want to call it) compared coming out of high school.

Yup, i have said the same in regards to the criticism of wiggins.
 
Only way to 1 - 7??

Where is your team spirit?

I mean the Jazz have about 5 or 6 NBA players (Favors/Burks/Kanter/Hayward/Burke). Right now I think UK has about 7-8. Both Harrison kids, Randle, Young, WCS, Johnson and Poly and possibly Lee. The starters might struggle a bit but once UK went to their bench the Jazz would be in trouble. LOL.

I am pretty sure the Jazz would win but I think it would be closer than people would think. I wouldn't be shocked if UK could beat the Jazz at the end of the year. Seriously do you think John Lucas would start at UK.

By the end of the season.. maybe. By end of next year, no doubt.
 
Am I over selling how good this draft class is? Im thinking if these two classes were combined with the last two, the top picks would have looked something like:

2012:
Wiggins
Parker
Randle
Davis
Exum
Harrison

2013:
Wiggins
Parker
Randle
Exum
Harrison
Smart
(How far can I go?? The last draft SUCKED!)

Am I wrong?

Lol - I think Aaron Gordon and James Young might have gone ahead of Bennett as well.

Not that I agree with where you have Davis, but I am DEFINITELY on board with the premise of your post..... and started saying this about 'this' class back in 2011... just as I've been pimping '17's class for over a year now.

You think this hs freshmen class is loaded as well?

Great question and difficult to answer.. but I don't just put the '3' ahead of him.. I think Davis is a spectacular prospect and potentially as good as anyone in this class.

I'd probably project it like this;

Parker (because of polish and multi-skillset)
Wiggins (because he's just ooooozing potential but lacks desire to be the best)
Davis
Randle
 
Um, yeah. Big time.

I know people are saying the 2016 class is loaded with guys like Maker Giles jackson etc and most scouts gush over the class as a whole i didnt know 2017 was as well..Looking at some youtubes the past few weeks Riley Ayton ans Vanderbilt look like beasts..
 
My 2012 - 2014 Big Board is as follows:

1a. Jabari Parker (Just think he's got "it.")
1b. Anthony Davis (making the leap right now. Legit MVP candidate if New Orleans didn't suck so much)
3. Andrew Wiggins
4. Julius Randle

...(big drop off)

5. Marcus Smart, Exum, or James Young. Too early to tell.
