A lot of teams don't have shotblockers, cyclops or not that's one thing he can do adequately. I'm surprised Semaj Christon fell all the way from top 20 to undrafted...what happened with him?

I really don't know but he didn't improve on his 3 ball at all...I think that and elite athleticism is what keeps him from being a top 20 pick...I think he'll play his way into a 2nd rd pick in workouts.

2 things:

What does it realistically take to move up to the mid/late teens in this draft? If the Bulls are willing to package 16 & 19 would any of those teams be interested?

If the Wolves are scheduling exclusively PFs for workouts, do you think that is signaling a Love trade this summer?



Always possible. It could get you as high as probably 11

To your second question, it's that but also keep in mind they don't have a PF on the roster if Love gets dealt

so many signs are pointing to a Love trade this summer, what do YOU think is the likelihood?

DX just posted a new mock this morning after Jonathan Givony got back from the Adidas Eurocamp with NBA GMs there. http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-mock-draft/2014/

They got Smart and Vonleh as top 5 picks now. Exum moved out of the top 5. Stauskas moves into the top 10. Nurkic and Saric move out of the top 10. Kristap Porzingis moves 6 spots up to #15 with the Hawks. TJ Warren falls to #20.
Mine looks different. I'll post it tonight but I'll say some stuff about it now.

I can't remove McDermott from Utah at 5. I think Utah moves the pick anyway but I can't see Utah waking away without McDermott.

James Young to me feels like the odd man out and that's due to Rodney Hood shining in these workouts.

After pick 20 the draft gets very Euro

log-jam? :wtf: I wouldn't call Courtney Lee, Jamaal Franklin, & Tony Allen a log-jam. They need shooting and Hairston has the strength to play and defend the 3 spot also.

eh... Hairston would be the 3rd SG slightly in front of Franklin. Especially the way Joerger gives vets playing time.

Im not excited about bringing in another below the rim guard that cant finish at the cup. The team needs a athletic SF to take Tayshaun Prince's minutes and swap out with Qpon, and if Ed Davis is gone possibly a backup PF.
