Following potential 2014 draftees

and don't give me Julius Randle is a bust crap. dude is a solid top 5 pick. i was actually more impressed with Randle than Wuggins today. because there is a certainty about his game - when push comes to shove, he can post you up and you would have to double team him or he will put a move on you. i don't care how crappy he looks he demands double team. that's a rare gift at this stage.

just wished he was couple of inches taller. he would've been a true physcial specimen.

lol what?
 
How can you be more impressed w/ Randle today when his team lost by 20 points and he played an average game? He commands double teams because when you play UK you have 2 free defenders because you don't have to guard the Harrison twins.
 
Randle isn't even top 10.

obviously you are not watching his game carefully enough. if favors has randle's post game, favors would turn into 26/12 monster. randle is a classic PF who can play down low. something many teams will value over a step back over lazy defender.

modern day Zebo.

Randle will have to make a pretty big skill jump to ever to get Zebo's level. He plays bully ball against smaller college players. Not sure he has the offensive IQ of a Zebo in terms of how to use his body down low against bigger players.

Not saying it's impossible, cuz obviously he is still young. Just don't like him as a top 5, and would rather take the higher potential Gordon.
 
Wiggins nearly had a 5x5 in college basketball. Would be interesting to see a list of players who have actually done that in Division 1 history.

he sucked early, but he got his mojo back and put on a great run. and when he got the ball he dominated. I was impressed with 4 things he did.

1. He didn't fumble the ball while 3 guys were all over him.
2. his spin move is fast. i mean super fast.
3, and he pack that natural power. torque. something you can't teach. nice bun buns, and upper body strength. and have a very good body control.
4. drew double team everytime he touched the ball.


let's put it this way. Wiggins had the better overall game. but randle impressed me more.


i really am curious how he will move if he naturally gains 15lb over the years.

my only down side is that i suspect he will get measured around 6ft 7 3/4 ish. and i doubt he has crazy hops. probably around 33 inch. i hope i'm wrong because i like this kid's game.

lol waht?
 
Smart was a man today. I'm happy to see his stock rebound a bit these last few weeks.

I can honestly say I'd be happy with any of the top 7 prospects. I think there's a clear cut top 3 (Embiid/Wiggins, Parker) but 4-7 would all make me happy.

We just need to do our job and lose. We have a big opportunity tonight.
 
So if the Jazz miraculously get the #1 pick, who does everyone want? I know the consensus seems to be Parker, but I'd rather have Wiggins, though I'd be ecstatic with either. I definitely get the arguments for Parker, but for once I'd love to see the Jazz swing for the fences for an elite level of potential.

Wiggins
 
I've had Wiggins #1 on all season. You bandwagoners can come aboard if you'd like doe. Come to the light.

Been ridin shotgun all year
