Scalabrine and Perdue. That's about how good they defensively when they played in the league.

Lol.... i thoughy i recognized purdue but just figured it was some dude who looks like him.

I thougt they were just random dudes
 
Ideal situation is Milwaukee taking Exum, which means Orlando will take Smart, leaving us with Parker or Wiggins. Or Exum falling to #5. Those seem like the most likely best case scenarios for us.

Holy crap... parker or wiggins at 5 would be dream come true.

No way wiggins will be there though

Maybe there's an outside chance at Parker if teams worry about his lack of athleticism or something (other than lateral quickness, I think he's plenty athletic in terms of running and jumping), but LeBron playing for the Jazz next season is more likely than Wiggins falling to 5.
 
With Wiggins, Parker and Embiid skipping the combine, do any of you know if we will see official measurements on those three guys before the draft? IOW, is there somewhere they will be measured and the numbers made public?

If Milwaukee doesn't take him, it's possible Philly takes Parker over Wiggins, and I'm pretty confident Orlando would take a PG, but nobody said this was likely.

All I can notice in that video is that he has a really bad knee valgus, especially that left knee.

Hopefully he gets a good strength coach to help get rid of that or he is going to be needing ACL surgery soon. Especially since it gets worse when he is getting pushed around.

Although talent wise he seems like he will be great.

I still think Wiggins will be the best out of this draft and it will not be close though.
 
Maybe TJ Warren falls to 23??? (or we package 35 to snag him drama-free?)

TJ fits well on the Jazz IMO and has a good chance of outplaying his draft position nomatter where he lands. Im a big fan of the arsenal of moves he uses for a 6'8" 220lbs guy, hes just got a knack for scoring and kind of has that Antwan Jamison like ability to take and make shots from all sorts of release points and angles, the Jazz could use a SF this size in the worst way plus Warren is a monster offensive rebounder too, part of the reason I like the fit is i think he'd really help gain an advantage on the boards(3.2 Orebs per game, 2nd in the ACC).

If Warren develops consistency from 3, hes going to be really tough to contain, I dont have a hard time seeing him as an eventual 15ppg guy, maybe more, he just puts the ball in the hoop.

Everyone in the ACC knew he wanted to get to the basket, yet he still led the conference(4th in NCAA) in 2pt FG% at .580 on a ridiculous 15.4 2point FGA's per game

bad 3pt #'s but he improved to 35% in conference play, his midrange game is top notch, and i like how he measured at the combine (like a SF) down from 230 to 220

We won't have that pick, cause we'll have a nice shiny Parker.
 
Just had an interesting thought...

What are the chances Parker is the next Evan Turner. There are some simularities. Both highly sought after as prospects, and neither very athletic and slow of foot. Both versatile offensive players in college which made them very popular as high draft picks

I do realize Parker is a better shooter though.

Thoughts.

Actually Evan Turner was a better shooter (51% FGs, 36% 3pt - to Parker's 47% and 35%) and he was a true all-around player in the sense that he averaged 20, 9 and 6, where Parker scored and rebounded, but averaged just 1 assist per game (to 2 turnovers).

Having said that, Turner was a junior when he was drafted and Parker is bigger and just a frosh.

Turner was nowhere near the 3 point shooter that Parker is. He only shot 1% better but attempted half as many.

Either way, he shot a better percentage. Also, keep in mind, after the first 7 games of the season, when Duke started to play real teams regularly, Parker shot just 28% from three. One of the biggest misconceptions about players in the draft is that Parker is a good 3pt shooter. He might become one someday, but over the bulk of the season and during conference play, he was not.
