What's new

Following potential 2014 draftees

Anyone see how SA put a stretch four in tonight, nullified Ibaka, and proceeded to roll the Thunder? This is the new NBA. Whoever we pick better have three point range.
 
Interesting comparison, the posters who've pointed out how Noah's 7.2 field goals attempts should have been more considering his talent and 26.5 minutes would probably like to know that Tim Duncan took 6.3 FGA's per game in over 30 minutes as a freshman, other than tim duncan blocking almost 4 a game, and getting a few more minutes their Freshman stats are very similar

Both are also humble and really smart

I love that turn around left handed hook shot and banking it perfectly off the back board. using the backboard is a lost talent that vonleh has. (also what Duncan is known for)

I think vonleh and favors will be great.
 
i don't really see the Magic passing on Exum either, there's maybe a 2% chance Milwaukee could take him or trade down to 3 or 4 and grab him.

the only player i see with a chance of unseating Exum @4 is Vonleh, i guess they would take Ennis at 12 too, its not likely though, all of the mock drafts pretty much agree its Dante, and their asssistant GM was apparently 'one of the few' high level NBA execs watching Exum last year in Prague
 
"He can shoot the ball out way past the arc. For a stretch four, that's what you want," said Ryan Blake, senior director of NBA scouting operations

its not just us in the draft thread saying it.

15/25 from 3 in 16 Big10 conference games is fairly prolific.. no?

Prolific? That's a very small sample size.

It's not that bad a sample size in my opinion. Of course, it doesn't guarantee that he's going to be a great shooter by any means beyond the arc, but it's definitely a very good sign.
 
Hear Phil Johnson on 1280 today? Seemed to be implying that a factor in choosing Hayward over Paul George was that George hadn't really led his team to anything.

Didnt he also imply indiana would have taken Hayward if they had choice on draft day?

Shooting draft: Vonleh, Rodney Hood, PJ Hairston

in this scenario id hope the Jazz buy a late 2nd rounder for Jokic or Moussa Diagne to stash.

Burke/ Livingston/ Garrett
Burks/ Meeks/ Hairston
Hayward/Hood/ Honeycutt
Favors/ Vonleh/ Evans/
Kanter / Gobert/ (Jokic/Diagne)

without Jokic/Diagne they are sitting at 14... the average age of 23.5 doesn't make me think this is all too realistic though
 
After hearing Lindsay talk about how the Jazz need shooters I really think that the pick is Vonleh or they trade down and take McDermott.
