What's new

Following potential 2014 draftees

Embiid may not be as dominant as Hakeem (at least offensively), but he seems able to do the things Patrick Ewing did. I think he's a lock to be an All Star center.

Burke + Hayward + 3/D player + Favors/Kanter + Embiid = championship contender.

Wiggins, Parker or Embiid added to the current roster would make the Jazz contenders.

imagine

Burke, Hayward, Parker, favors, embiid

or

Burke, wiggns, Hayward, favors, embiid


trade burks, kanter and gsw pick for another top pick

Realistically, I don't think anyone is going to give up a top-5 or top-6 pick in this draft, unless they're getting back a 1st-team All NBA player.

My thought has been 3-way trade Miami-Cleveland-Utah. We pickup Embiid from Cleveland. Lebron goes home. Utah gives up ???? to make it happen?

His son was finally aggressive and had a decent game...

Sadly, Michigan is just ok without the leadership of Burke. Ahh the good ol' days.

He didn't improve his long range shooting! I don't think he deserves any top10 mentions. Consistency is a big issue right now.

Well his only 19 playing in a pro league, but yeah the outside shooting is the big thing holding him back from being in the 6-8 range. I am wondering at 19 how good of a 3 point shooter Mirotic was.

In Mirotic's age 19/20 season he did 41.2% on threes in 29 regular season games in the Spanish ACB. His playoff production dropped a little. He posted 6.6 points per game on 39% long range shooting in the Euro League.
I really like Saric, but I don't think a turnover prone point forward without a reliable long range shot is worth a top10 pick in this draft. There's less risky picks with a similar ceiling when you factor in overall production imo.

You can see a summary here how he performed in each year. I'm a big fan of Mirotic and I'd be super thrilled to have him in Utah.
