Following potential 2014 draftees

Watching a little bit Sixers vs Rockets:
Evan Turner is having a very nice early season. Really making a MIP case for himself. He's not really a young player but nice to see a former #2 finally being productive.
 
Why are people even discussing mock drafts at the moment? It's too soon for that **** to even matter.

wtf cares? srsly.. nothing any of us talk about here impacts the team in any way... so what difference does it make. Nothing worse than Montana potato farmer going all dramatic elitist on a basketball message board.

think about it.

....Probably because he can get a long step on most guards, get in the lane and create for himself and others. He's a tough cover. Plus he can shoot, and his drive will give him space to raise up when he wants. Jabari is great, but I'm not sure he puts as much pressure on the defense as Exum could potentially. Plus, Exum could be an elite defensive player.


Edit: I saw this on Chad Ford's chat on ESPN...


Daniel (Miami)
Is Dante Exum a top 3 pick?

Chad Ford
I think so. Hearing from sources that he and his family are now strongly leaning toward skipping college and having him go straight into the NBA. Some NBA guys think he should be the No. 1 pick. Will be interesting to see how they feel if the college guys all live up to the hype while Exum is just working out in Australia.

Drafting players from Australia (Exum, Irving) & New Zealand (Steven Adams) is all the rage at the moment. They produce great athletes who are prepared to work hard and stay humble.


We should definitely get in on this.
 
I just hope the Jazz get either #1 or #3. With #2 they'd be prolly forced to take Randle and that IMO would mean rebuilding their inside player as I don't really see him mix up well with either Kanter and Favors. He must be paired with someone like Embiid or WCS to keep the team strong defensively inside.

We wouldn't take Randle with #2.

I saw people discussing how it was stupid to have somebody ranked #3 or #4 in a mock, and then people saying that based off of that mock, even if we get the #4 pick we could still get said player. It's stupid. You know this, in fact, you've even said so before. Try to be consistent.

And nice of you to make the insults personal. I don't see what me being a potato farmer has to do with anything.

Take the time to watch it. Whether you agree or disagree with him, there's still some good stuff in there.

Watching that makes me REALLY want Parker. Wiggins might end up better, but Parker looks ready to play more and play well. I just worry about Wiggins taking 4-5 years to catch up to Parker, then leaving. Parker in this team makes them really good.
