What's new

Following potential 2014 draftees

With Jandrew Youngins it remains to be seen how they develop their bodies if they are a small or a big wing.

Young will always be a little thin, but not skinny.
Wiggins will be a brute and have lots of muscle.
 
I've been pimpin Syracuse since pre-season as well... they're legit and not the typical JimB team. They're long and athletic so that killer zone will be even more killer.. and I HATE zone.

As for Jabari, I can handle an off night, I can handle shooting 20% from the floor..... but what I find a bit more disconcerting is 0 asts. A player like Parker should know when his shot isn't falling and create for others. Not saying he didn't try, but just stating what jumps out at me.

**** the tank, 2014 most disappointing class ever. QQQQ *insertrandomwhinehere* Trade away the pick for more veterans. Win now!

JK, Aaron Gordon btw had a good showing tonite vs Washington with Nigel Goss Williams who needs some more development time.
 
I really lreally like what i see from Imbiid. Anyone that compares him to thabeet should be punched in the nuts.

why not? both raw with ton of potential. both long and athletic. embiid had better talents around him. took thabeet longer to develop, but he did develop every year at uconn. he was still raw as hell, but he did show many moves that made him get that 'potential' tag. right now, we don't have enough on embiid to be absolutely sure that he won't bust in the NBA. everybody knows his ceiling is super high. but his floor could be lowest out of the usual suspects. if thabeet came out this year he would be in the top 12-13 discussion as well. teams always get blind sided by the crazy measurables

i'm leaning towards embiid being more mutombo with better offense, but can i see him bust like thabeet? yes, i can. i won't be surprised.
 
Only tangentially related to the discussion:

I think the Jazz should be looking for younger, more athletic and talented players to take over the roles currently being filled by RJ and Marvin.

That is, the Jazz have 2 traditional(-ish) bigs in Kanter and Favors, landing either Parker or Randle to add some skill, fluidity, spacing to the big rotation would be HUGE.

On the wing, neither Burks nor Hayward fill the role of athletic/physical perimeter stopper. A third wing who can defend the more physical/athletic wings in the league, while also consistently knocking down open jumpers and making the right pass would complete a decent wing rotation for the Jazz (giving the Jazz a lot of lineup options). I'm not sure who fits the bill in either this coming draft or the next. Any suggestions? There aren't really any decent free agent options this coming summer.

I see wiggins as being a great perimeter defender and I believe his jumper is coming around pretty good.

He is the one I want most
 
Wiggins is so beastly. Cannot wait to see him in action tomorrow. Screw the NFL

I like that peeks said that he thinks wiggins will get alot bigger muscle wise too.

That is about my only concern (too frail)
