What's new

Following potential 2014 draftees

I'm not sure Wiggins' skill level has been underrated. He's not that skilled. He can't shoot or dribble very well. At this point he has to give more consistent effort for his talents to really shine through.

Still would pick him number one tho.

Love Jabari, but the people who act like he has no weaknesses are tarded.

My biggest concern is quickness. There's serious reason to be concerned about his lateral quickness. He'll struggle to stay in front of most NBA SF's IMO. He never guards anyone on the perimeter, and the few times he has, he's gotten burned.

Then there's quickness on the offensive side. Parker often settles for long jumpers instead of driving to the hoop in the half court. DX seems to believe Parker has the ability to get to the rim in the half court more consistently and that it's more of an issue of his shot selection, but I wonder if he just doesn't have a quick enough first step?

Again, I love Jabari and I'll be jumping out of my seat if we get him, but if you have the #1 pick, you take the guy who's likely to have just as big of an impact on the offensive end (quite possibly more at some point) and who, imo, is guaranteed to be a far superior player on the defensive side. That's Wiggins.

I agree but all of the top picks have their flaws.
There is a reason i want Parker/Young because i think Young will be a lock down defender.
