What's new

Following potential 2014 draftees

You guys are surprised they aren't participating at the combine? Now I'm just mad I didn't make a bet with someone that they wouldn't.
 
I guess the combine is for helping players improve their stock. I was just interested in seeing what wiggins, Jabari, and embiid had to offer. Is exum going?

No, lol. Why would you attend a combine where you will be criticized if you are already a top-3 lock?

Pretty sure I heard he intended to come... but not certain.. and his agent probably talked him out of it, if so, anyway.
 
If you're an athletic freak, the combine is good for you.

If you're not, it's bad for you.

If you're already going to be a high pick, it would be dumb to participate.

If you're not going to be a high pick, it would be dumb not to participate.

If you're judging a player off of how they do at the combine, and not game tape, you're an idiot.

I think that should settle any, and all confusion.
 
Parker is overweight and Embiid has a hurt back.

This Parker being overweight thing is ridiculous. Whether or not he has 4% body fat or 9% isnt going to make much of a difference. The dude is going to ball regardless. Some guys dont need to be shredded to be ballers.

i.e. Kevin Durant.

His weight is not a huge problem right now but i thinj that if he balloons up to big baby davis proportions then that would limit his effectiveness

Hes not going to balloon up.

Why not use a more positive example? KLove came in slightly chubby and slimmed down. Big baby was already fat anyways. Jabari isnt fat.
 
I think Jabari struggles with weight a little vs. doesn't struggle.

I think I'd be more concerned with work ethic than weight. (not because he's lazy)
