2014 NBA Draft Thread

[The Young One]

And Jabari doesn't put people on posters every now and then? Remember that dunk vs. KU in Chicago?

 
You forget how athletic a young Melo was. That was a nice dunk but I don't see Jabari dunking on people like a young Melo did.

Not to downplay those poster dunks, but they really didn't show much hops.

Parker doesn't get very much lift around the rim, and as a result he doesn't finish at the rate you would think he should.

 

[The Young One]

I'm starting to feel the top 4 is almost a lock to go this way.

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

Wiggins makes more sense for the Bucks than Parker imo. Can't really see Jabari as a good fit at SG. If the Bucks don't want Wiggins, they'll go Exum.

 

[The Young One]

Supposedly One of their posters on realgm talked to the owner and he said something along the lines of them wanting Jabari or Embiid.

Giannis is a SG/SF

if thats true its probably because wiggy would leave that city as fast as he could. jabari seems like the type of star that'll stay his whole career in one place.

Yeah I think that's a undersold angle. I think he would eventually leave there if they drafted him. His team supposedly wants him in a big market. I think Philly will get him at 3.

Chad Ford is claiming six teams are actively shopping their lotto pick.

Why would they do that in such a special, once in a decade draft?!?!

 

[Mexi]

Well i i know the kings dont want another project
Im sure phoenix is shopping

 

[bosoxlover12]

technically boston is shopping the pick too, but thats more in an attempt to get love

 

[elcheato]

Phoenix wants to win, Sacramento wants to win, Cavs want to win, Lakers & Celtics want Love, and I'm sure some other late lotto team is open to trade.

 

[Mexi]

I dont believe chad ford
6 teams?

Though maybe the sixers are shopping theirs to move up

 

[Pugz]

detroit needs to try and jump on one.

 

[The Young One]

Think Philly may try to trade up to 2.

 

[bosoxlover12]

I can see a Utah/Milwaukee trade


Jazz wants Jabari, and the Bucks biggest need is really PG. If the Bucks can get another good asset along with #5 to take Smart, I think it's a good deal.

 

[buzzy]

I think you gotta take your chances with a top 3 pick, regardless of positions.

No ammmmmmmmmmmmmo.
