Don't worry about it man, if you lose the bet, just send him your unused fax machine. UGLI just sold his.

Who are the best SFs in 2014?

Who are the best SFs in 2014?

I posted that in the last 10 pages or so... but by memory;
Wiggins
Parker (though maybe more PF)
Hezonja
Warren
Poythress
Dekker

Exum getting rave reviews in the FIBA U19 tournament. He is playing USA today and he is thriving.

 

[orangello]

Unfortunately he hurt his ankle and then Australia fell apart. The halftime score was 55-20 for USA.

 

[orangello]

It was also mentioned that Australia as a team couldn't get the ball past half court because of the defense but Exum was able to get into the lane every time he wanted to.

Exum will be a guy to watch this season.

Rodney Hood.

Rodney Hood.

Will we get to see him at all this season?

I think he's only out for a month. Should be good to go for the season.

At the Kevin Durant Skills Academy players were measured (height/weight/wingspan).

Poythress grew another inch and has slimmed down a bit... also one of the few guys there with a 7' wingspan.
6'9 231lbs

He has perimeter skills (40% from 3).
If he improves his handles and become for fiery he could shoot back uo the draft boards.

You being the Kentucky expert, I always puzzled why Marquis Teague left after his freshman year? I always thought he was far from ready and could have benefitted way more from playing a bigger role the last season and getting in the league now.

That's a very large part of what happened to UK last year. Calipari was certain Teague would be back and Harrow was only meant to be a bsck up playing little minutes. However, Teague had an incredible tourney on the way to a championship and his draft stock soared. He decided to strike rather than risk injury returning. In hindsight, he just may have improved his stock even further had he gone in this past draft... who knows.. but that's the story.

 

[Chargers Jazz Angels]

interesting the jazz are going after 2's this year maybe the view Hayward as the answer at 3. maybe we should be looking at sg in the next draft.

 

[Dr. Jones]

We've been discussing both.
Generally speaking, the SF's are looking better overall than the SG's.. but its early.

 

[UGLI baby]

Ill join this thread next March.

Hayward's better at the 2.
Draft a 3.

Didn't see this stuff posted. The race to the bottom is going to be very competitive. And I like "tank-a polooza"

From Chad Ford:

I think we may all be UNDERESTIMATING number of teams considering tanking this year. Been flooded with calls from GMs re 2014 draft class

Interest in 2014 draft class is unprecedented. We're going to have a lot of REALLY bad teams this year. #tank-a-polooza

We know Suns, Bobcats, Sixers, Celtics & Magic will be REALLY bad. Sources say add Hawks to list. If they don't get DH12, likely to tank

This may be the first season since 2003 when the bottom of the standings will mean as much as the top of the standings
