So Parker just declared this draft is officially loaded.

Going to be interesting to see who goes first out of him and Wiggins.

Let's look back At this post in one year.

 

[MarcusGarvey]

So it looks like Adam Silver and the owners will be pushing 20Yr minimum starting in the 2015-2016 season. Y'all can stop complaining now.

That shit is wack as fuck in my opinion. I wonder will they try and make the D-League more like the minor leagues of the MLB with their age proposal?

 

[thagame]

My predictions with how I expect the teams to pick. This isn't necessarily the best prospect in order but based off team need and likely selection

1. Milwaukee Andrew Wiggins. Can pair with the Greek Freak and he will be the number one option at the 2 with the Freak at 3.

2. Philadelphia Jabari Parker. Some think Sixers will go Embiid here but I see them going number one scoring option. The team needs a face of the franchise player to provide the offensive scoring with little injury risk.

3. Orlando Dante Exum. I see them passing on Embiid when they already have Vucevic who is a rebounding machine double double guy but not a rim protector. The only other option is selecting Embiid and trading Vucevic for a future first. I think that is a long shot.

4. Utah Joel Embiid. Utah needs upgrades at multiple positions center and SF being the first priority. They are not sure they want to pay Gordon what he appears to want 10 plus million a year. I can't see them passing on Embiid fills an immediate need.

5. Boston Julius Randle. If the draft goes this way Boston is out of luck and may have to re-access their plan. I see them taking Randle and then trading him. They would go center and then sg but none of those players are worthy to be selected this early. They have Bass, Olynyk and Sullinger as their 4-5 rotation.

6. LA Lakers Marcus Smart. Steve Nash will be paid next year but will play little. Smart is the long term replacement

7. Sacramento Noah Vonleh. I flipped between Gordon and Vonleh but I think the Kings will go with Vonleh. His game looks basic but he has prototypical 4 size and is still young. Kings have Derrick Williams already as a tweener so I find it hard for them to select Gordon who appears to be that as well.

8. Detroit Aaron Gordon. I think Detroit will just go best talent available at this point. They probably need to trade Josh Smith but most likely can't so I think Monroe will be traded. They need a shooter at the 3 McDermott is a possibility but I don't know what his position will be. Detroit can't win with pick might actually be better to trade down

9. Cleveland Jusuf Nurkic. I think they are going with him. They have plenty of questions at the center spot. Will they resign Hawes plus Varejao and Zeller on the roster? I think Varejao will be let go and they draft this guy to be the center of the future.

10. New Orleans to Sixers Nik Staukaus. Sixers will go SG will this position. Gary Harris is available a better defender good spot up shooter but seems to lack or hasn't shown the ability to create off the dribble. I think they go with Nik. I think the Sixers would probably look at Zach Lavine as well

11. Denver Gary Harris. Deep at every position except at SG

12. New York (To Denver or to Orlando via Denver) Orlando I believe gets this McDermott. They probably have so many 3's but he can definitely be a rotation player

13. Minnesota Rodney Hood. I think they are going this way

14. Phoenix Adrien Payne. They get a 4 that can do something stretch the floor and is athletic

15. Atlanta James Young.

16. Charlotte to Bulls TJ Warren
