The Official 2014 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[I.V.]

Ayo @tremonthustler1 - who do you see at the back of this first round that can contribute, or has real potential... I feel like if you get Payne in the 20's... that's a steal.


Also, where do you come down on Shabazz vs Elfrid?

Anybody catch Wiggins on ESPN today on First Take and now on NNL?

I see where all the "too nice" comments are coming from now. Not sure if it's humbleness or timidness from how he talks about himself and his game.

He's just a quiet person breh. Plus he's a Canadian.

 

[Poitier]

There's plenty of film out there of his international play as well. You either watch film and evaluate skillsets, or you post on the internet about how he looks like that other light-skinned guy.

You mean U18 tournaments against unathletic Euros?


Hmmmm... Exum is taller, 25 pounds heavier, and has the longer standing reach... but barbosa is "bigger" because he has 1 inch on his wingspan?

Is that how you do math, tho

Barbosa has a longer reach.


Again, go watch him play. Most of your misconceptions can be cleared up by actually watching him play. He's not a 6-2 shooting guard like barbosa... he's a 6-5 point guard.

I watched him play and nope, no advanced footwork.


Oh, you tried to get me with that "steals = defense" game, huh? That middle school logic. That "AI WAS A GOOD DEFENDER THO" logic

You brought up passing lanes, not me.

@Poitier What have you heard about that Ukraine kid lately breh?

@Poitier What have you heard about that Ukraine kid lately breh?

His coaches and advisors want KU because of established NBA pros

His family wants UVA because he has family and friends close by

Euro teams are throwing million dollar offers..

 

[GoldenGlove]

Yeah, but you can be quiet and confident. He just came off as whatever with pretty much everything they asked him pertaining to basketball.

Yeah.... on offense.

Ehh, he's on the media tour. This is what he's being coached to say.

I'd take Payne at 13. Probably have more confidence in him than anyone else.

As for draft steals, Spencer Dinwiddie. If he want hurt, that Colorado team is a sweet sixteen squad and he's a lotto pick. Get him if he's in round 2.

A lot of geeks like KJ McDaniels out of Clemson. He's got talent even though I was disappointed by his combine.

Also think Jabari Brown has some promise a la Danny Green.

As for Payton vs. Napier, I'm betting on Payton. Much higher ceiling.

 

[GoldenGlove]

Ehh, he's on the media tour. This is what he's being coached to say.

He needs better coaching then

 

[Eye Cue DA COLI GAWD]

Payne is going top 15

I see him as a great fit on a Minny or Atlanta

 

[Apex]

I hope Damien Inglis is available in the 2nd round, but his stock could really rise in the next month. The Raps might have to consider their 20th on him.

Wiggins looks like a little ass kid in that video.

Wiggins looks like a little ass kid in that video.
