Following potential 2014 draftees

I think if Vonleh drains NBA three's during workouts he'll go 4th. Legit PF size...check. Great athleticism...check. Huge hands.....check. Stretch 4 potential...check.

We could give them #5 (Vonleh/Randle) and Trey Burke for #4. We'd take Exum. That's a good deal for Orl if they want a more traditional PG. I realize I'm reaching a bit here.
 
K.J. McDaniels to me has a lot of the tools that Gordon has at a fraction of the price. He can be had with the #23 pick. Plus he can shoot FT's.

We can grab Randle with the #5 pick.

There's a chance, at least a chance, that Vonleh and/or Randle are so impressive in workouts that they go top 4 and push someone to the Jazz. Or maybe, a team in the top 4 will think Embiid is too much a risk.

I could see embiid falling if Wiggins and Parker are taken 1 and 2. The 76ers already have Noel to work with. The Magic could go with smart as their point guard then... or Embiid...

1. Wiggins
2. Parker
3. Exum
4. Smart
5. Embiid...

And people always say that size moves up... so Vonleh could potentially jump up... I can't wait for some individual workouts to happen.

I saw a mock draft that had us darting Mcdermott at 5, got a good kick out of it.
 
As has been mentioned earlier, there is a very solid chance that Smart or Vonleh sneak into the top 4 depending on workouts (seeing as both had great results at the draft combine).
 
Cavs should take Wiggins and not think twice.

If I'm the Bucks I'm a bit nervous about taking Embiid at #2. He hasn't played publicly in months and isn't sharing his medical report so easily. If there are any questions, I could see the Bucks going with Parker. It's new ownership who probably doesn't want to blow a #2 pick when Parker and other talent are on the board. Embiid and Parker could be close enough with Parker being the safer pick.

Wiggins and Parker are off the board.

Sixers then have to decide if they want Embiid. Probably they take him, but if Vonleh is a versatile stretch-4 he could look attractive next to Noel. The Sixers also have to decide if Noel is a PF or a C. Exum is a lot like MCW, and they could go with it, but neither is a knock-down shooter at this stage. I think the Sixers wanted Wiggins or Parker (because they already have MCW and Noel), and Dr. J was pissed they didn't get into the top 2. If the Sixers are squeamish about Embiid, I could see them dangling this pick to Orl or the Jazz.

If the Sixers think Embiid is risky and take Exum, then Orlando has to ask if they want Embiid. If not, they might flip picks with the Jazz to draft Marcus Smart and pick up another asset. You look at how far Nerlens Noel slipped last year, and Embiid could potentially be available to us. Orlando could think Embiid is risky when they already have Vucevic.

I think the Jazz WILL offer #5, #23 and a player to move up for Exum or Embiid, and they have a shot if a) teams are squeamish about one of them, and b) Vonleh or Smart are off the charts in workouts.

Well people have been saying that we need to swing for the fences for a franchise player and this would be it, even if people don't like that they haven't seen him play.

I would be ecstatic if we got Exum, fwiw. I had a head's up b4 the Nike Hoops Summit about him, from a trusted NBA scout, and brought the info here................... before he was on ANYONE's draft board (incl DX).

And I have heard nothing but RAVING reviews from multiple scouts that have traveled to see him in person.

I don't think we get him... but I would be thrilled... big time.

Do you think he is more of a point guard or shooting guard

He is definitely coming in as a SG. But scouts think he's one season removed from being a TOP pg.

I hope he is a pg
