The Official 2014 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[Eye Cue DA COLI GAWD]

You don't get handles in three weeks

Still no left hand finishes

You can tell he go be one of those dudes who's go to move will be a contested jumper.

thats arguable.

Is it really? His own team is thinking about trading him so they can take Exum.

From calling him Harrison Barnes to saying he wouldn't go top 2..your dedication to being wrong about him shouldn't be unnoticed.

That handle is coming along nicely.

That handle is coming along nicely.

This guy is like a robot with the ball in his hands.

The fact he dudes stan this guy is beyond amazing to me. Its very obvious the guy is not built to be what you all want him to be. Uber-role player is his ceiling.

He is the next Harrison Barnes. Maybe a bit more fluid athlete, but still they have more in more than not.

workouts don't mean shyt, but I just don't see it

When they renegotiate in 2015, the NBA needs to work like the NFL with the TV deal including the draft be simulcast on NBA TV.

Really don't wanna sit thru Bill Simmons and Jalen Rose not giving a good enough perspective, and tho I like Jay Bilas, he shouldn't be doing it all alone. It's just not good TV imo.

NBA TV's "NBA Draft HQ" is great with dudes Fratello and Ronnie Thompson knowing a lot about both the college players/programs and the NBA.

No he wouldn't but after his production I'd say he's worth an 8-10 in fact if I was sac I'd offer my pick to Philly.

he's also 3-4 years older than most of the prospects in this draft, he's already 22... he turns 23 in october

Chad Ford said the hope around the league is that Embiid's rapid growth and poor nutrition were the reasons for his injuries, would make sense. He was only 6'8" 3-4 years ago, now is 7'1", there's a picture of him and Patrick Ewing when he was 15 or 16 and Ewing is a few inches taller.

Also, the Cavs and Bucks are the only teams with his medical records, and Arn Tellem isn't handing them out to anyone else so far, trying to get him to the Celtics/Lakers.

Sixers just got them too

 

[Kang Deezy]

thats arguable.

No, it's not... he's way older than all these prospects. Chad Ford said it himself on the Simmons podcast that there's 8 players (at least) in this draft that would have gone #1 last year.

MCW turns 23 in October, all these prospects are 18-19.

He put up inflated stats on a fast paced garbage team with what, only one other NBA quality player? (Young)

His own team is trying to trade him, who trades the rookie of the year? A TEAM THAT REALIZES HIS VALUE WILL NEVER BE HIGHER. Smart, Exum, and Payton are probably all better than him, especially in the long term.

Man fukk this Embiid dude...I'm going to take the UTah trade and Philly,Orlando can just have him.

 

[Kang Deezy]

Did LeBron need to opt today the week of the draft?

I guarantee Wade is hoping for a Kevin Love trade or something big to happen on draft day, that'll probably be when he'll opt in hoping it'll get swept under the rug (it won't)

There is absolutely no evidence that the Sixers are trying to trade MCW, people are just speculating based off the fact that we're interested in Exum that this means the end of MCW. For all we know the SIxers visualize Exum as an off the ball playmaker while MCW initiates the offense as a facilitator.


It's not his fault he played for a bad team.

 

[NatiboyB]

The more I'm starting to think about it could a sign and trade of Chris bosh for Carmelo work? It seems as if they could give a damn about Bosh....Or maybe he can go to Another team like Chicago.
