Am I crazy for liking Exum as much as anyone outside Wiggins?

Darft analysis isn't really my thing

You are indeed crazy, but liking Exum is the least of your problems. I think he's just the flavor of the month coming off his performance at the FIBA U-19's. Once college basketball starts, the board will change.

I'm curious to see if Aaron Gordon will be any good.
It's possible he'll be in our range instead of our dream picks.

How do you all feel about a Burke, Hayward, Gordon, Favors, Kanter line up?

im not sure Exum is the best international player in this draft, he should fill out and hes unreal quick/lengthy, he might be one of those players with a bit of trouble adjusting to the physical play, no way he plays PG in the nba, i dont believe that

the killler thing with Exum is he runs like the wind

his skill level is much less than Mario Hez, right now... but any team looking to run, will have Exum near the top of their board, id presume

if exum could shoot 3's id imagine hed be able to go as high as #2

Exum is also the youngest prospect projected to go in this draft. Right now he is 17. That's kind of a big deal.

i actually think he will fall, because his stats shouldent be too inflated on a loaded arizona squad, plus hes going to be viewed as a tweener

i do think measurements will affect this player, his wingspan is long for his body, but this player is actually the same siza as hakeem warrick, with slightly shorter arms

if he measures 6'9" in shoes and a 7' Wingspan, with crazy vert #'s i think that should secure his spot in the top 10, im very interested to see how he plays on the perimeter

Agree with most if this. He's not a PG. I do think he's easily the besr intl player.. I like Mario.. but not near as much as Dante.
 
Are Julius Randle and Josh Smith similar? I have yet to see Randle in action

Great athleticism. The thing that pops out to me is how balanced he looks on those drives-- pretty nuts when you realize that he's 6'9 ~240 or w/e. I wonder how much more he'll grow

I put a vid up of Randle a page or two back. I think his best comp may he Chris Webber.

now thats an interesting comparison!

do you think his hands are on the level of C-Webb?

also, do you think Julius Randle will have a line of shoes with spinning rims on the side?

back to Mario vs Dante though,

Mario can shoot really well, better than Manu

hes got... character concerns, he sorta celebrates like he scored a touchdown when he does something spectacular, everytime

ive seen enough video of him to be sure that he talks a ton of ****

so with that being said, thats really the big downside here, hes got "Hero Ball" written all over him, BUT hes 95 born and playing against all sorts of competition on all sorts of teams. also his defense on the wing is sloppy, he gambles for steals on the dribble and in passing lanes, and he plays lazy defense

this is the best croatian shooter since Drazen Petrovic... easily(better than Kukoc).. plus he throws really accurate bullet passes... and his dribble and array of moves are really impressive, hes very crafty in transition, i like mario's chances to make lots of noise as a rookie, and make some Vets look bad right away

i like his chances to get 1 steal agame then eventually 1.5, hes got gamblers instincts, once refined this player could be a monster, advanced hesitation moves, plus he can just shoot it with a hand in his face totally defended, he attempts those kind of shots
