Chad Ford On Draft: "All you need is a top 5 pick to nab a Superstar

[b_line]

This isn't a nitpick as I'm sure you're just speaking in generalities, but I just want to confirm: worst guarantees we'll pick top 4, right?

I heard top five in the chad ford video

2nd-to-worst guarantees top 5

Who does Ford have top five?
Did not have time to watch video.

I don't believe he lists his top 5 in the video, but I'm confident that his top 5 is:

1. Wiggins
2. Randle
3. Exum
4. Parker
5. Smart

He said randle was probably his number one right now, then maybe Parker and wiggins.

 

[Dr. Jones]

btw.. Parker is not a true SF either. He is crafty enough and skilled enough to play it, for sure.. but most scouts see him a bit more PF.

 

[orangello]

Yes.



































Am I doing this right?

 

[Dr. Jones]

Unlike others, I love tweeners if played right.

Wiggins is a 2/3
Randle a 3/4
Parker a 3/4

Would love to see somebody bitch about not having a 'true position' with those three on the floor.

Wiggins it is then

Don't know much about Exum, but does anyone think Smart is a franchise type player?

 

[Dr. Jones]

I don't. I think he's a #9 - #25 PG in the NBA kinda guy.

I like tweeners, as long as they are wings. I don't like combo guards, and I don't like F/C's.

Smart is a waste of a top 10 pick. Book it!

 

[orangello]

Good news! I just heard from Chad Ford that the coaches and players in Phx and Phi didn't get the memo that they are supposed to be bad. Apparently Utah did. That is one good thing about Corbin, he can follow instructions that are given to him (the problem is, he's in charge as the head coach)!

There's obviously some exceptions though.. Curry, for one.

 

[Dr. Jones]

I don't disagree. I was hating on him last pre-draft when he was being called #1 - #3... he's good.. but not that good.

For sure, and tim duncan.

 

[Dr. Jones]

I'm a tweener.. center skills in a almost PG body.

 

[orangello]

Yep. I have a feeling that he gets exposed this year as an OK shooting, turnover prone, fouling combo guard. Who wants that?

Oh, he's an athletic freak so spend a top 10 pick on him.

 

[orangello]

I'm a tweener.. centers weight in a almost PG body.

Fixed. Ur welcome.
