Following potential 2014 draftees

Im cool with trading 23 and 35 for Porzingis.

Kristaps, LaVine, Hood or possibly a reach for James Young are the only players id consider trading both picks for.



Apparently last month Rondey Hood told hoopsrumors.com hes going to be drafted between 6 and 12.

Forgot all about that..

I think I could make a strong case for Porzingis in the Lottery, his athleticism and fluidity are no BS, hes very quick off the ground.

There's no doubt in my mind that hes a better prospect than Willie Cauley-Stein. I'd contend once you get past him playing a little weak while being ~210lbs, there's really not all that much to complain about.

his size is legitimate, not official #'s but he appears every bit of 7' in shoes (doesnt look more than 2" shorter than 7'2" teammate Ondrej Balvin), hes the 3rd youngest player in this draft. Kristaps has some SF moves in his arsenal too

https://sportacentrs.com/basketbols/legionari/01062014-porzingis_un_cajasol_parspej_specigo_vale - This move at 1:10 is nice for a 7'er. Cutting down the baseline from the corner, a catch in traffic into a reverse/ fadeaway

Ohhhh I can't wait for the PG_AB rant about this. Too fun.

That's exactly why I've been updating this thread.

Bump.

Saric clowned himself by talking all that trash about Wiggins and Jabari then getting swept in the Croatian League Championship. I could see Phx taking him though.


If I was Porzingis' agent I'd have done the same thing, mission accomplished. His value is somewhere in the mid-teens in this draft, but thats not good enough. Kristaps is better than Cauley-Stein, hes going to have a great season for Cajasol playing PF so his value is safe and can only go up.

Karl Towns Jr > Porzingis > Myles Turner

I've backed you up a number of times, and no one follows the draft like you do. I probably trust your judgement on deeper draft picks ahead of all other ppl on this forum (even when you whiff-- Robert Upshaw comes to mind).

With that said, I really don't understand why you go back and delete all of your posts. I have my fair share of whiffs too-- the well-known one is me thinking that Burke would be able to be a very capable starting PG in this league (although this still isn't technically impossible). But I have more than that. Another is me wanting the Jazz to draft Singleton instead of Kawhi with the 12th (none of us assumed that Burks would fall). I thought Singleton had equal defense, and a better shot at hitting 3s at a good clip in the NBA. Idgaf.

did you watch this game? got something smart to say about it?

Lets not pretend that once my talking **** about Trey Burke and hyping of Dennis Schroder were once cast as 'meltdowns' by the collective genius here. Now there's not a word spoken of it.

You're the nobody who makes threads about me, not the otherway around, remember your place bitch.

Bitch? Am I the one who runs and hides for months at a time? Am I the one who goes back and pathetically changes or deletes old posts/predictions of yours?

Rofl. Trust me when I say, you're the only bitch around here.

Now go get your ****ing shinebox!

For what it's worth (and to help put things in perspective), here are some general comparisons on the top guys that I've read:

Andrew Wiggins - Michael Jordan
Julius Randle - Chris Webber
Jabari Parker - Paul Pierce
Andrew Harrison - Jason Kidd/Deron Williams
Aaron Gordon - Blake Griffin

God, I want a pick in this draft so bad. You pair one of those guys with our core and HOLY ****. We wouldn't be able to keep all of them long term, but man....

Jesus, this draft didn’t age well.

Am I the only one who is interested in Jokic? Never seen his nane on this forum.

Hah. Receipts.

And who the **** is Inglis? Not surprisingly a terrible take but Jokic makes up for it.

I do think he is a better prospect. Higher potential. Athleticism is a concern with Micic as well. What makes me like Jokic more is his passing. To have an advanced feel for the game while you were almost unknown the year before is amazing. He also said in his interview that he would work on his athleticism.

Big board is Inglis/Jokic/Micic/Tavares

did Lunatic Wolf hack your account?

Nah.. Wiggins is a bust.
Embiid is too much risk.
Parker will be a slow fatty.
Exum no one has seen and is overhyped.
Smart is a combo guard that can't shoot.
Gordon is a tweener.
Randle is an inch too small.

**** this draft!!!!

did Lunatic Wolf hack your account?

Wow I am so shocked. Turns out 2 of the 7 turned out to be somewhat stars instead of 1 of 7 like I said.

I thought all 7 were supposed to change their franchises??? We needed to playsorry4Jabari or whatever ******** was said.

Y'all are hacks.
