Disagree. He is not getting time in Spain though most of the experts believe he should be. If he wants to develop he will come over right away.

he's playing on a squad competing for something. He isn't ready for more in such a situation. Why would he enter the draft get selected around 15 and 25 and move into another country and find himself in another situation like Barcelona? Bubble playoff team needing all their vets to produce so they get an 8 seed or maybe even an contending team. Nonono.
Either he doesn't declare, hopes he getts significant playing time next year when he might get drafted in the top and come over immediately for a super bad team in a leading role or he'll declare this year even though he barely played, then does the Mirotic where he plays 3 more years and then moves over once he comes off the rookie scale.

My god OG, Alec is like my favorite jazz player in years..... isn't that enough?

Man beal is gonna be good though. Washington is really coming together and could give some teams trouble in the playoffs... especially once nene gets healthy

with their defense they won't win more than 1 game v miami or indy

Ya with thier defense they might not.

But with thier offense they just might

It's the playoffs. It doesn't matter. They won't win more than 1 game against the powerhouses. They might have a close series vs Toronto, CHicago and Brooklyn, but 2nd round it's against Indy or Miami. And that's gonna be ugly no matter who plays them.
 
So here are the current consensus Top 15 players compiling ESPN, DraftExpress, NBADraft.Net and NBA Draft Insider -- https://www.slcdunk.com/2014/3/6/54...mbiid-andrew-wiggins-jabari-parker-top-prizes

Aaron Gordon gets dropped by NBA Draft.net for some reason, but would otherwise be a couple spots higher.

# Player (Avg. Rank)
1 Embiid (1.25)
2 Wiggins (2.0)
3 Parker (3.0)
4 Randle (4.5)
5 Exum (5.0)
6 Smart (7.25)
7 Vonleh (7.5)
8 Harris (9)
9 Gordon (10.5)
10 Saric/Hood (12)
12 Ennis (12.5)
13 Grant (12.75)
14 Young (14.5)
15 McDermott (15.5)
 
Adams is way fat, too fat to be a 1st rounder. hes 6'5", long armed and never dunks.. hes also a prime example of getting lots of steals while being a poor defender

Jordan Adams return to UCLA next year(and Bryce Alford being anointed the PG of the future) maybe what nudges LaVine out this draft though. id love to see LaVine starting at PG, Adams at SG, and Kevon Looney at SF next season, theyd give Zona a run for their money in the pac 12

You forgot byu vs loyola maramount in vegas
 
wiggins is killing it right now.

5-7 from the field, 5-6 from the line, 15 points, 4 blocks already with 3 minutes to go in the half.

And kansas is losing by 10
 
So who do you pick if you are the Bucks with the #1 pick?
Giannis will be terrific.
Do you take Wiggins?
 
Giannis + Wiggins on the perimeter together would be lethal. I still go Embiid, though.

Wiggins might have had college basketball's best performance of the season today. As of now he's got 41 on 15 FGA. His 3 point shot looks pure, he's getting to the rim at will and he's been a terror defensively. Too bad his teammates have vanished and WVU has shot the lights out from 3.
