You don't think Wiggins is a lock for top 3???

Finish your multiplication tables sonny-boy

embiid is the x-factor

he has emerged and he is moving up. hype can only get you so far. scouts actually do watch them play. it's all about play on the court because all of these guys have tremendous potential.


jabari parker = pretty much lock top 3. i don't care how poorly he may play in march, he is still the safest bet

randle = he was top 3 early in the season. his stock fluctuates. with strong march and strong nba 'combine' he is a strong top 3

wiggins = he was a lock #1 early in the season. but parker's strong play and wiggins lack of production has created many doubters. He can go as high as #1, but can fall all the way to #4.

embiid = is he hakeem? is he mutumbo? is he thabeet? regardless of what he becomes you can't teach 7fter with long arms and good enough athleticism. he has shown enough skill sets early in the season. He is still raw in my eyes, but potential on this guy is tremendous. if he continues make a good impression and show his skill sets, i can honestly see him going #2 right behind parker. guys like this is a hit or miss, but just look at the past history. there will always be a team who gambles on a guy with tremendous size especially in this centerless league.

so yes, wiggins is not a lock top 3. at least not in my eyes.
 
i saw some mock drafts dropping randle out of 5. and yes, he doesn't go right alot. he is exactly like zebo in that regard, but that didn't stop zebo to drop 20/10 like it's nothing and randle is better overall athlete than zebo. but yeah, i can see him being out of top 5. and that means guys like smart, embiid, exum, even gordon are making people jaw drop and just keep on moving up.

ainyway haven't seen exum much - could he be another MCW type? i would need to see more of his tapes.
 
Embiid is not the next Hakeem. What a ridiculous standard to judge him against. Embiid will likely be very good, let's stop with the dream comps, though.
 
It's OK guys, we were "meant to" win some games during the "East Coast" trip... no biggie.. normal programming will resume soon enough.

No it's really not ok. The worst part of the season is behind us and we keep getting better as a team. We are settling in for a long stint of just barely missing the playoffs. Definitely not OK.

it's too early. if randle goes crazy in march then what? taking young UK to the finals? and if wiggins struggle badly in march then what?

Then he's still on the most loaded team in NCAA history and still not that big, that athletic, and probably still isn't playing very good defense or showing much perimeter skills to make up for it.

Since the Kandiman and Kwame Brown the league has #1'd only 1 raw Center. That guy was Dwight Howard in a draft that seemed very weak at the time.
And welcome back ncoloradojazz. WOuldn't be the same without you.
 
Back when we did the Power Tankings, I think I was the only one who ranked Philly #1. Well, here's a stat for you. The 76ers have lost 17 games in a row that were decided in regulation.

So jealous of their tank.

Well i think i was the first person to make everyone aware of the strength of the bucks tank, so there...... nana nana boo boo
 
Dala was the first one to say the jazz are making the playoffs and pimped burke the hardest.

He trumps us for the win
 
Bucks lose by one point in overtime.

Look at this awesome battle
Milwaukee: B. Knight 26 Pts, 8 Reb, 14 Ast
Charlotte: K. Walker 25 Pts, 9 Reb, 10 Ast

Kanter played 18 minutes and went 0-5.
