The Official 2014 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[#1 pick]

If I said kyle Anderson will be a better pro than Otto Porter would I be wrong?

Could be but Porter was a better prospect and still can be a very good player. In all fairness, Ariza and Webster were in front of him in the rotation. Those are solid NBA players and he was on a playoff team. You can't expect too much minutes on a playoff team as a rookie.

My personal mock draft: (Lottery only)

1: Cleveland Cavaliers- Joel Embiid
2: Milwaukee Bucks- Jabari Parker
3: Philadelphia 76'ers- Andrew Wiggins
4: Orlando Magic- Dante Exum
5: Utah Jazz- Noah Vonleh
6: Boston Celtics- Aaron Gordon
7: Los Angeles Lakers- Marcus Smart
8: Sacramento Kings- Juilus Randle
9: Charlotte Hornets- Gary Harris
10: Philadelphia 76'ers- Zach LaVine
11: Denver Nuggets- Nik Stauskas
12: Orlando Magic- Dario Saric
13: Minnesota Timberwolves- Doug McDermott
14: Phoenix Suns- Rodney Hood

I'd like to see if the 76ers would be nice with MCW-Lavine-Wiggins-Noel fully developed.

2-3 zone wound say otherwise

 

[Loose]

@Loose can you not handle the pressure of making a pick?

I thought i already went KJ Mcdaniels

 

[AAKing23]

2-3 zone wound say otherwise

LaVine shot nearly 40% from 3 in college and Wiggins is perfectly capable shooter at 37% from 3

Ehhh...

I always saw him as a hyperathletic Gerald Wallace with range.

Which is still damned good imo. If he can maintain Wallace's best years like when dude was averaging 2 blocks, 2 steals, and 8+ rebounds per along with consistent, physical offense for the majority of his career - which he definitely has all the tools to do - then he's absolutely worth his hype.

wiggins is gonna be more than gerald wallace.
this is just pure hate, on wiggins.

This plus things went south for Otto when he first messed up his hip in Summer League. Whitman admitted that after that happened he just wanted to bring Otto along slowly.

crash is trash, breh.
he only played one year for a contract.

he is Chris Wilcox with a slightly higher draft pedigree as a straight from hs guy.
which is why he was given more than Wilcox and made t look good on paper.
past that and sympathy for catching the bionic elbow from that Lakers basketcase Bynum.
I see why they eliminated the jump from high school.
when, you factor in how huff he really was.

crash is that one guy who the knicks drafted who was a garbage energy guy with the dreads.

You have no idea what you're talking about lmao

chris wilcox comparison

find yourself a bush and nosedive homie

crash is not that great, breh.
if he was so great.
he would have great playoff superstar output.
he does not,...
he has that once in a lifetime chris wilcox on the sonics in the off's type talent.

if not for draft situation, and more emphasis being put on that.
to get him on the floor more consistently off of grade.
he would not have seen the floor like that.


i don't give perrennial okay, just a shade from the bushes ass nikkaz no props.

i damn sure not about to say wiggins is comparable to no fukk'n crash, fool.
you did that,...not me.

no way in fukk is wiggins gonna be crash, or is that even a logical fukk'n comparison.
crash is strictly a pf, period.
with no other discernible ballhandling skills, other than standard stock handles for his positoin..
wiggins has way more discernible ballhandling, a tre ball, way more leaping ability and creativity in the air. just a way better player than crash was in highschool just for starters.
they are not comparable and i will not buy your hyper athletic crash comparison.
that shyt is just as huff as saying wiggins is gonna be gerald wilkins, nikka.

your comparison needed to be thrown in the bushes, nikka.
