Following potential 2014 draftees

ISU by 6.5 is too much.
MichSt by 5.5 is too much... although OSU is way overrated.

My prediccion is;
ISU 76
BAY 77

OSU - 68
MSU - 71

no way he can play 3. not with that kinda handle. but love his post game. i don't care if it's all left. he got the post game down. force him right all you want, but he will take you to left and finish it with authority. my kinda 4
 
Question...

Watching Isaiah Austin. He reminds me of a bigger Marvin Williams. Is that close or way off? If so he'd fit the offense great and be better equipped to guard bigger 4's then Marv. Also where do you draft gurus think he'd be drafted.

Austin is so stinking soft although imagine the defense of Austin and Gobert in the middle. he might turn into a decent stretch 4 but it just doesn't look like he will gain weight. I expect him to go in the late teens early 20s.

not a bad comparison at all, Austin is a tough player to make comparisons with and theres some odd variance between his freshman and sophomore seasons. hes a much bigger factor protecting the rim/changing shots. Marvin is a more of a catch and shoot guy, Austin certainly could develop that part of his game, hes got great touch. Austin has decent handle and has a nice ability to shoot floaters and runners, i think hes a really interesting fit next to Kanter/Favors, no way is Austin going to be ready for big minutes as a rook, but hes got ALOT of potential

right now most prognosticators have him pegged in the 20's but for a 7'1" player with a unique skillset i wouldent be surprised if hes selected in the late teens

This. All of it.
 
I may have mentioned this before, but when my bro and I were talking about last years draft, before Austn pulled his name out, he was hoping the jazz would draft him, and even said he's golfed with Austin's dad who apparently lives in utah, so Austin has ties to utah.

Gonna be a sad day for teams when only 1or2 of these guys turn out to be worth their salt. #DraftHype

True, if that were to happen.
However, it is extremely unlikely..... Just look at last years draft (one of the worst drafts) for example: there are already at least three that turned out to be worth their salt (oladipo, burke, mcw) so im pretty certain that in one of the most highly acclaimed drafts of all time there will be more than 1 or 2 to turn out to be good.
