Official 2014 NBA Draft Thread (the race to the bottom)

[MarcusGarvey]

Men might think I'm crazy but id take.

1. Wiggins

2. Parker

3. Exum

4. Embiid

5. Randle

6. Smart

7. Hood

Embiid has offensive skills, that's what I look for in big men. He can run, no knee or feet injuries known - I don't see him being a Thabeet. One thing y'all trying to rewrite history but Oden was nice that season at Ohio St - what should've scared Portland was the knee and feet problems.

 

[MarcusGarvey]

Some highlights from Oden freshman year:

14pts 11reb 5blk v Cincinnati

24pts 15reb v Tennessee

29pts 10reb v Iowa

17pts 19reb v Purdue

22pts 8reb 4blk v Michigan

25pts 12reb 4blk v Florida (National Championship game)

So don't tell me he had busts written all over him.

I have no idea how Randle will pan out in the league but at 6'8-6'9 he's an undersized power forward in the league.

Thats more the size of this generations small forward and if that's the case he better work on those handles and jump shot.

Randle is nice on the College level, but the more I watch dude at Kentucky, he reminds me of Beasley when he was at K-State

He's has a good handle and a decent mid range jumper.. Just hasn't showed it off yet. Honestly 6'9 isn't a bad height fora PF but his wingspan isn't anything special and he just doesn't have great defensive instincts. I think he will be a 20 10 guy but if a team with a weak defensive front court is in position to draft him that might be the reason they pass. I think Randel would be a perfect fit in Philly along side Noel or. Milwaukee with Sanders and Henson.

Bulls Celtics and Lakers welcome to the race

 

[WhoisDonG???]

Im starting to see Randle in a new light. Is he a franchise player or is he Mike Beasley... Is he a legit 6'9 or is he just 6'7

Hoop Summit 2013 Box Score. A long time ago in 'development' years but interesting to see who did well in a one off game.

Spurs drafted the MVP (Livio Jean-Charles) of that game last season.

Projects to be a solid role player according to Draftexpress.com. That's a great thing if true for one of the lowest picks in the 1st round.

There's so many prospects out there....O/P forgot bout guys like Doug McDermott, Gary Harris, and others

Neither one of those guys have high ceilings. Harris does a lot of good things but isn't great in one specific field. I can see him being a Eric Gordon clone. I love Doug Mac but he's just not a great athlete..he's gonna get exposed in the pros.. Who's he gonna guard? Best case scenario for him is a shorter Ryan Anderson. Both those guys will be solid pros but probably aren't worthy of lotto picks imo

Smh I been sayin for years how stubborn and stale the Bulls roster is. Now that its too late u salutin to change with a Lebron gif. Clown. @tommybilfiger

 

[af.r.i.c.a.]

For those of you who haven't got a chance to see Wiggins and Embid cook yet Kansas is playing Oklahoma on espn 2. UCLA plays Arizona tomorrow that will probably be the best game in the PAC 12 this season. Plenty of pro prospects
