The Official 2014 NBA Draft Talk Thread

Zach LaVine was a product of the hype this season. May get drafted in 1st round, but may as well go directly to the D-League.

 

[#1 pick]

why would denver move up? They need shooters, Exum/Lawson wouldn't be a good backcourt tandem

That was an opinion. I said I not word on the street. I don't know or care what Denver needs. I just wouldn't be surprised if they did.

I said this on the Hawk forum. He is less skilled than Jared Cunningham out of college. Now Zach has far more athletic ability and talent but he's years away. NBDL will be his first home but his potential is sky high if developed.

its the same shyt every year.... yet these super fans continue to circle jerk about whichever prospect the media tells them has potential

brehs zack lavine might sneak in this top 5



hes a shooter and possibly the most athletic player in this draft

yep

hes hella fast in a strait line, i can actually see the Tmac comparisons

 

[LurkMoar]

brehs watch kyle Anderson's tape and work out, this kid HAS to be a point guard. He will be food for SF in the league but he will have mismatches against point guards.

You should be able to get a player to start for you at SF with 16th pick tho, there's a plethora of really exciting players at that position available there.

I havent been this excited for a draft class in forever

sigh... dude they play nothing alike

In a straight line he is. His handle at the moment won't allow him to break nobody down off the dribble. Thats why I think its crazy to make those comparisons

I'm trying to keep my expectations in check considering there's a good chance we trade both the pics

It's normal, you watching these guys workout v. no defense. It's easy to love their talent and not notice their lack of skill.

No way he could play PG. Too slow laterally. They will eat his ass alive something serious. He couldn't play PG even in the 80's in the NBA, most def not today. No NBA team will put their PG on him anyway.

He's a Forward. SF/PF type. I like him better at SF due to his good instincts, hands, and wingspan. He will have to develop as a team defender. He will always be limited as a man defender. He is a boom or bust prospect. Too risky for many teams in this draft with the talent that's in it.
