The Official 2014 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[DetroitEWarren]

I still dont understand this "Wiggins is so athletic" talk, dude looks nowhere near the athletic level of nikkas like Bron, Wade, Westbrook, Rose, ect when they were drafted. I dont even see this ridiculous vert nikkas be talking about, where is the proof of this shyt. Fasho he has athleticism, but to be compared to Lebron athletically seems disrespectful to Bron. Even when I look at Parker, he looks a lot more athletic thn Wiggins as far as finishing at the basket.

Everytime I seen Wiggins I see him shooting floaters when he got to the rack, the nikka is too young and supposedly athletic to not be getting to the rack and going over nikkas. Something all the nikkas I mentioned did with ease during there pre pro careers. I see a great ability to pull up off the dribble with Wiggins, but I seen the same shyt with OJ Mayo and we all know how that turned out. I want Wiggins to live up to the hype and be a beast, but as of right now I just dont see the positives that analysts have brought up. For a supposed super athletic nikka, he has no highlights that showed that shyt thru his college career and I was not impressed by his athleticism while he was in high school. I see a lot more athleticism from Parker and analysts have said that Perker lacks in that area. Whats the deal breh's?????

We're walking away with the best player

We traded to get the guy we really wanted at 10.. adding a 1st and 2nd round pick in the process

Man we need a legit SG or SF, last fukking thing we need is another stretch big.

It was actually a good pick breh. You saw what happened when Horford/Antic went down last year. Payne can step right in at the 4/5 if any big get hurt and can probably stretch the floor better than the all of them. He's already a Better defensive player than Mike Scott too. The Hawks are gonna get a wing in free agency...probably Deng. Next year the starting lineup gonna look something like...

Horford
Millsap
Deng
Korver
Teague

 

[Akata Man Bromo]

Flip Saunders did it again brehs

@khoff31

How you feel about Stauskas?

@khoff31

How you feel about Stauskas?

He'll be better than Ben McLemore. Stauskas has that edge. Dude can flat out shoot, and that's what we need. His handle is solid, can create off the dribble. Not afraid of the big moment. I love this pick. He's a legit 6'6" and has good athleticism. Loved watching him play at Michigan. I get people have flashbacks about Jimmer but their games are nothing alike.

@Brozay @red222

I REALLY like that McDermott kid... He's basically Steve Novak w/ the ability to create his shot & although he lacks athleticism, he has drive & hustle.

He will excell in the league.

If Melo asks to leave...

We appreciate yall giving us Taj & McDermott
