Following potential 2014 draftees

I think Noah Vonleh is a solid prospect. He's his own player, but he's got shades of Rashard Lewis and maybe a bit of Chris Bosh in him. Good length and size, decent touch and scoring instincts, plays offense and defense. Just not as explosive as I would like.

I remember being so thoroughly impressed with Thomas Robinson in college, that I worry about Julius Randle having some of the same issues in the pros.
 
In their last 10, GS has gone 4-6. I'm still hoping for a Curry injury. They're now at the 7th seed, so they're close to falling back into the lottery!!!
 
Doug McDermott is a better shooter than anyone on the Jazz. He will probably win ROTY next year. Safest bet in the draft.
 
jako= Embiid

PKM sorry about UK but dude life is so fragile dont waste it away being angry with your team.

hotttnikkk stauskas is quickly becoming a favorite for the GSW pick unless he moves to high.

I am still a James Young fan i have a hard time explaining it but my gut is telling me he will be a very good pro but i am hoping he slips in the draft.

I agree McDermott will probably be ROTY

My money is on Parker going back to school.

I am going to say it again 2 way players are worth their contracts in gold.

Exum not sure what to say. My opinion of him is going to be held u ntil after the draft combine i want to see his measurements and stats.

I personally feel Aaron Gordon will be a good pro but alot will depend on how he is used and what is put around him. He will need 3 point shooter around him and an interior eraser.

That is the drawback and maybe a reason McDermott goes in the late-teens. If Lindsey could get another pick from a contender, I wonder if Lindsey could move up.

Yes. Last year it seems with Trey Burke carrying the rock, and GRIII slashing to the basket, Stauskas was limited mostly to spot up shooting role, hitting mostly 3pters.


This year with the new PG still learning the ropes for MICH, it seems Stauskas has been asked to do a lot more of the ball handling responsibility and it seems to me he's responding to that call. His ball handling seems to have improved as well as assists numbers (1.3 last year, 3.8 this year). His scoring increased too from 11 pts last year to 18.5 pts this year.


His shot seems legit - even with the added responsibility of ball handling & making plays, his FG % improved from 46% to 50%, his 3pt % improved from 44% to 46%. That's taking into account the fact that he has to make more off the dribble shots as well.

Dante Exum is a big-time talent with serious quickness and scoring instincts. The fact that he's not a high flier leads me to believe he has a chance to stay healthy. If you like MCW and John Wall, you'll love Exum. I'm not sure Exum is a #1 option, but he'd set up Kanter and Favors better than anyone else in the draft.

James Young will be a good pro, but I'm seeing the Orlando Magic version of Nick Anderson, simply due to a lack of foot speed and handle.

I think Noah Vonleh is worth drafting even with Kanter and Favors already on the team. There's a lot of potential with this guy as an inside-outside scorer.

Like I've been saying for a long time, it is not a given the Tankers make the playoffs.
 
I've seen Marcus Smart play 6 times this year and I think he could be a bust. He looks over weight, can't shoot a lick and has terrible form, and not a great floor general.

His handles are solid, you can see his BBIQ. What I like most is him switching gears when driving. Freezes his defender, then blows by him. Can he be a taller PG like Curry and MCW? I'd obviously have to see more of him. But the plays he made there for himself and others were quite good.
You really can see the Lithuanian game. Hate his name though. A real Lithuanian name MUST HAVE at least 3 syllables and no more than 5. Ja-Se-Ke-Vi-Ci-Us was a little too much. But Valanciunas and Ilgauskas are great names for an announcer to yell unnecessarily loud and emphatic.

Edit: I don't necessarily mean play PG, but be the playmaker on offense. I don't know anything about his defensive capabilities. I just can see by this short clip why Givony has him so high. Shooters are valuable in todays NBA.

i think he has handles to be a playmaker on offense. but he is 2, not pg. dude got to be one of the most improved player this year. i didn't think he would be this good. he is so much better than glen robinson right now. but damn, he ain't black and he ain't son of ex nba star. lil pup will be drafted higher.

anyway curry is 6ft 2 barefoot. i don't think you can consider him as a taller pg.

Hey PKM ..Sicne you pimped the Harrison twins all off season. How is that season working for them. The pg is shooting 38 percent. Ouch. Finally see now what I know and that Calapri actually is a crap coach. Heck of recruiter but crappy x and o coach
