Following potential 2014 draftees

Using the final mock as the be-all indicator of nbadarft.net's ****tiness is not good. Particularly since they can just become an echo-chamber.

What should be taken note of is their mocks in the middle of the season and also some of their terrible profiles that they EDIT mid-season (my favorite ever: Derrick Favors being a SF).

I didn't find these mid season mocks and stuff. And it'd be way too much work. I think that's just mid season attention whoring because they wanna set themselves apart of other sites at cost of respectability with hardcore fans. I mean I watched 15 min of that Kansas game tonight and Embiid ****ed up more than he did right. If you pick him #1 you better hope he's the next Olajuwon, because Jabari Parker is definately skilled enough to make a lot of fans very angry on their franchise if his development at some point stops for whatever reason.

I just thought it's noteworthy that they steer back on draft night and stop trolling. They took tabloid strategies to the basketball scene.

don't get your hopes up. embiid will never be olajuwon. just not likely. olajuwon was the 2nd best post player in this history of NBA. 50 year old hakeem has better footwork than dwight or even melo right now.

Not very good..... got to the line a bit and made all but 1, had some nice finishes in transition (where he is basically unstoppable), had some nice drives to the hoop in the half court........... but his shot was off and he probably missed about 3 or 4 from deep plus a couple of other long 2's.

Played good defense for the most part.

His concerns are the same as they have always been: suspect jump shot and suspect effort/motor/aggression. I really believe his jumpshot is gonna be just fine (good mechanics and usually his misses are not bad misses) but I worry about the effort/motor/aggression aspect.
Probably will need a really coach in nba to get every drop of his ability turned into production.

If he every gets it all put together watch out

i see.

damn, he really might lose #1 status to his own team mate. i think big march showing is necessary to lock #1 or #2.
 
and mchale basically was automatic when he gets the ball within 10ft radius. dude just had that natural soft touch.

hakeem was more aesthetically pleasing, but mchale was just awe inspiring

So when we draft Wiggins we will need a coach that likes to play fast to take advantage of Wiggins current abilities in order to maximize him?

I agree.

I'll take Parker over Embiid right now every day of the week. And Wiggins 6 out of 7. There's just too many if's connected to Embiid.

me too. picking between wiggins and embiid is bit tougher. IMO, both have question marks.

if embiid can consistently show me dream's moves then maybe i'll consider. :p

IMO, saying anybody is next olajuwon is like saying 'so-so is next MJ'. borderline blasphemy IMO.

is it odd that I think slow mo might be a steal in this draft?

I'm watching his 3PT% and its at 54% on limited sample size. A stretch four with elite passing skills will have some place in the NBA I think. Worth a look in the second round.
