Following potential 2014 draftees

Would anybody even consider Gary Harris with Jazz pick?
Maybe too high at #6 but he plays like Smart and can shoot.

I alwys thought KKK might be legit be handicapped, but now that I know he would draft Ennis over Smart I know he is.

LOL.. fine.


Let's just wait and see who's right about this one. Ennis might not be the "glamorous" pick, but I do believe he'll turn out to be a solid pro and eventually a better career overall.


This is a good one to revisit in 2-3 years time.

Randle isn't athletic enough, nor does he have the wingspan to be an above-average PF.

Gordon is a worse shooter than Smart, more of a tweener, shows considerably less offensive skills and is about the same impact wise defensively.

Vonleh is raw, hasn't exactly showed much of anything this year. No post moves, average shooter, turnover prone, not a leader, and in his last 3 games had 17 points….total. Smart averages that per game.

Ennis isn't worth mentioning. You put Smart on him, and he doesn't do anything.

Marcus Smart may be the best defender in college right now, and he's certainly the best guard defender. While his shooting may not be great, it has improved while last year. Increased his assists while decreasing his turnovers, in addition to taking a larger role on the team. He is that teams heart and soul. He gets to the line easily, that's a skill that translates. He finishes at the rim, that's a skill that translates. He rebounds very well for a guard, that's a skill that translates. He defends his *** off, and he hustles more than any elite college player I've seen in a long time, that's a skill that translates. Put him in the open spacing of the NBA, and he's easily averaging 12/5/4 as a rookie, while providing excellent defense. That's a guarantee…you can quote me on that.

You also have to remember his intangibles. He's a leader, he hustles…what happens when other players see the best player on the court diving around for loose balls? They're gonna dive around for loose balls. His playing style is contagious. While I would prefer Wiggins/Parker/Embiid, and I'm still 50/50 on Smart and Exum…I would not be disappointed at all in getting Marcus Smart.

Cool bro, we'll just have to wait and see how he pans out. Only time will tell.
 
I want Parker or Wiggins. Don't tell me it's impossible. We'll probably have the 4th worst record as predicted, and with a little luck in the lottery we get top-3.

Bro, you said put Smart on Ennis and he won't do anything. But then you can say you put Smart on Burke and he won't do anything.


That's just not the type of players they are. They are solid ball handlers, they set up teammates and hit the occasional 3's when called upon. They fit well inside a system and you can trust them to run your plays. That's someone I want running the offense.


Bottom line is I just don't trust Smart to be that floor general. He's TO prone. He can't hit his shots (43% FG in college, LOL). And emotionally he can be out of control. To me he's a lot of hot air, but no substance. You can defend your point until the cows come home, but ultimately only TIME will tell.

Elfrid Payton. He's definitely worth considering with the GS pick.
