What's new

Following potential 2014 draftees

Wiggins - Jordan
Jabari - Bird
Randle - Barkley
Exum - Wade
Embiid - Hakeem

Did I get that right? :)

Not bad.. except I call Jabari a rich man's Pierce.

Yes.. this draft class is THAT good. I first started calling out the quality of this draft in 2009.... and so glad it's finally here.

And that the Jazz are going to take part in it.
 
Wiggins = Kobe/Nique mash

Randle = Webber/Zbo mash

Exum = Penny/Kittles mash

Embiid = Hakeem/KG mash

Jabari = KD

I think Embiid will go higher than Exum and Gordon.
 
Tell me if you see potential finger swag... remember.. this is ONE year after he picked up a basketball.

Lindsey, find a way to use all our assets to get another pick in the top 5, plz.
 
I would want 'another' pick..

/depending

Give up;
Burks for a top 20
Hayward for a top 8
Favors or Kanter for a top 5
Garret for a top 3
 
No love for my boy Aaron Gordon. Lets just completely overlook him because "he can't shoot outside". I gave some of you the benefit of the doubt, but now we are starting to see him play actual games.

We'll in his first two games he's hit some 3s. I'm going to give him an honest look, and so far I think he should still be in play.
He plays defense, rebounds, and can hurt you from many different spots.

How about Detroit trading their pick. They have their bigs. Not sure what they would want from the Jazz though.
 
From the link PKM posted. Why have the Harrison brothers slipped? Oh there is my boy Aaron on the rise! **** them haters.


1
Andrew Wiggins, F, Kansas: Wiggins is going to get a run for the No.1 spot from Julius Randle, Jabari Parker, and others. But we'll keep him here to start. If Utah lands here, what happens to Gordon Hayward?

2
Julius Randle, PF, Kentucky: Touch, power, strength, and physicality. Randle would fit in perfectly with what Brian Shaw wants to do and he can develop him into more of the pure big man he wants.

3
Jabari Parker, SF, Duke: Parker's the rare forward who can shoot from range and handle the ball, but also bully inside. He'll fit perfectly with DeMarcus Cousins and could become the alpha dog for Sacramento's needs.

4
Aaron Gordon, PF, Arizona: Exceptional athleticism and at 6-9 can play at power forward next to Cody Zeller. Fits a need and could form a great combo with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.

5
Dante Exum, SG, Australia: If the Cavs are in this spot, then absolute disaster has struck and you could be looking at a new GM. Let's pretend, though, and they would want to trade this to whoever wants Marcus Smart since they have Kyrie. If they don't move it, Exum fills the need and has great athleticism. Dion Waiters can work on-ball as a sixth man and Kyrie has a better transition running mate.

6
Joel Embiid, C, Kansas: The Lakers are going to be gearing for a big free agency splash, so really, getting a project center works just fine for them.

7
Marcus Smart, PG, Oklahoma State: The Bucks would jump at this situation, and Smart would be a great fit on this roster. He'd have pretty much the offensive flow to himself.



(from Nets)

8
Willie Cauley-Stein, C, Kentucky: The Hawks would have a ridiculous cache of young talent if they get Cauley-Stein, but the Nets, who the Hawks get this pick from, will likely shake off their rust and finish much higher.

9
Andrew Harrison, PG, Kentucky: You know. Just in case Rondo isn't around for some reason. Hypothetically.

10
Aaron Harrison, G, Kentucky: Ten is just high enough to draft for need and the forwards above him at this position are just questionable enough to draw question marks.

11
Glen Robinson III, SF, Michgan: Defensive forward which gives them leverage with Luol Deng and another offensive weapon which the Bulls need.

12
Wayne Selden, SF, Kansas: Selden has incredible body control and shooter's touch. He'd fill in perfectly. Of course, odds are the Sixers are in position to draft another Kansas forward instead.




(from Knicks via Nuggets)
13
Montrezl Harrell, F, Louisville: The Magic are heavy on forwards (and will likely be higher than this) but Harrell would provide a nice combo forward to pair with Oladipo and Nikola Vucevic.

14
Semaj Christon, PG, Xavier: I like his potential in pick and roll sets at his size, and his defensive upside. He'd be a nice fit here.




(from Hawks)
15
Mitch McGary, F, Michigan: This is a little lower than I'd expect him to be, just by virtue of the early season draft order. McGary will be a productive pro and should go closer to ten.

16
Mario Henzoja, SG, Croatia: I'm not as impressed with Henzoja as some scouts, but I'm sure he'll turn me around by the end of the season. An athletic wing for the Rockets to stash and develop.




(from Trail Blazers)
17
Isaiah Austin, PF, Baylor: This is a bonus pick for the Bobcats, so they can afford to take a gamble on a project big.

18
Gary Harris, SG, Michigan State: Shot 41 percent from the arc last year. Literally anyone that can make a jumpshot will do for Memphis.




(from Pistons)
19
Dario Saric, SF, Croatia: I don't like this pick and feel like there are way too many ways this can go badly for the Cats. Of course, that also leads me to think that's who they would take here.

20
Doug McDermott, PF, Creighton: Someone with a little more polish to put at power forward behind Morris and beside Len. This is a nice fit, really.

21
James McAdoo, F, North Carolina: McAdoo is still so gifted and how he's fallen off from his freshman year is really surprising. The Spurs could do some amazing things with him.




(from Mavericks)
22
LaQuinton Ross, F, Ohio State: A player with former
