The Official 2014 NBA Draft Talk Thread

LeBron didn't participate at the combine either. If his agent said his vert was 44", I'd believe it too.

I understand Breh Wiggins is a top 3 pick no matter what but I still don't trust the agent.

lol at Cleanthony Early having a higher vertical than Aaron Gordon

 

[tremonthustler1]

McAdoo ain't getting picked. I hope he knows Croatian

For anyone trying to argue that Wiggins isn't a freak athlete, watch this and then try saying that again

Vonleh's explosiveness, length and ability to switch on guards was really felt on the PnR against Michigan (best PnR team statistically).

None of LaVine's athleticism is functional, in-game, in the half-court. I feel bad for the dumb team.

Vonleh has the most room to grow of the bigs, outside of Embiid.

I think how LaVine turns out depends on who he's paired up with in the backcourt, the best place for him IMO would be Philly and most of these young guys are gonna suck in the halfcourt for a few years.

Bulls should be able to grab a good wing @ 16 with all that talent in the top ten

Who do you like going to Chicago? They own the 16th & 19th picks

Selfishly I've wanted yall to draft a Tar Heel for years now. Yall lost Gordon and seemed to need a shooter/2 guard in '09 and passed on Wayne Ellington twice, once for James Johnson Thought there was a good chance yall was gonna take Bullock last year but went Snell instead. Really hope yall land Hairston with one of your picks if he's there when you're picking.

Maaannnnn, if we lose our pick in this wing heavy draft, its Jihad on the whole Dumars family. Draft got more wings than Hooters and we could fukk around and miss out cause this nikka had a hard on to blow more money on nikkas that don't compliment each others games.

 

[Dwight Howard]

Markel Brown could be a sleeper. He'd go alot higher if he wasnt 6'3. at Ok state he showed a good shooting stroke and outstanding athleticism. He's has the potential to be a good starting SG. His combine #'s are crazy too, 43' vert.

 

[I.V.]

Vonleh with a 9'2" standing reach & a 37" vert

86 in labia tho. :Bellywood:

Exum is basically grading out to be a taller Leandro Barboso. He has good length and first step explosion for his size, but the guy is frail as fukk and he's gonna have issues finishing in the paint. He's anything but a top 5 lock.

The fukk?

Barbosa was 6-2.... Exum is 6-6... He's four inches taller, with another 4-5 inches of wingspan, and he's 25 pounds heavier.

I get that you don't like him, because you've never seen him play... but PLEASE don't pretend that the rest of us can't use google.

nikkas continue to sleep on cleanthony early...best player in the draft by far

:WoodRLY?:
Shut up.

What does that have to do with playing style?

 

[I.V.]

Also..... this julius randle face should prolly be a smiley.

They're playing styles are so different... it's not even worth addressing.

Exum projects out to best as a real point guard. Barbosa was only out there to score with his speed.

Saying they're similar means you've AT BEST never seen one of them... and AT WORST never seen either.

No, they actually play eerily similar.

Don't see Presti using both these picks unless Reggie is getting moved. He'll probably try kicking the tires on a Shumpert deal again & then look at other teams that don't have a pick or want another if the Knicks say no. Or try something bigger to move up or something.
