1. Cavs - Wiggins
2. Bucks - Parker
3. Sixers - Embiid
4. Magic - Gordon
5. Jazz - Exum
6. Celtics - Smart
7. Lakers - Randle
8. Kings - Stauskas
9. Hornets - Vonleh
10. Magic - Payton
11. Bulls - McDermott
12. Sixers - Saric
13. T-Wolves - LaVine
14. Suns - Warren

my pick is Marcus Smart. he can't shoot, has questionable handles, and doesn't have elite quickness to get into the paint. he'll be a good defender, but that'll be it. I see him as a future backup/defensive stopper not a quality starting PG.

another bust will be McDermott, he's Adam Morrison 2.0

Warren and Saric I don't see being difference makers. the rest however should be quality players.

LaVine is the obvious front-runner. Dude drove @tremonthustler1 to a drunken pit of despair. Had him wandering around like shep for the first 1 hour of the movie.

Aaron Gordon is the other likely bust, here. Unless he grows another inch or two, he's kind of without a position. Can't really shoot or dribble, probably can't guard NBA 4's....

I think he'll be a star. Everything you want athletically, can shoot, and handle the rock. he was just in a bad situation at UCLA playing with other ball dominant guards in the congested college game. he should thrive ala Russell Westbrook in the wide open NBA game.

skillwise I don't see a single hole in his game. unlike most superathetes who bust, he can handle the rock.

I'll say Lavine mainly becuz of who he went to. Anywhere else and he'd have of glimmer of hope.

Kevin Love's sorry ass developed into an all-star. if he can do it, i'm sure lavine can as well.

if this kid busts it'll be cause of his mind, not his skills. his game is all there. all he needs is to add strength.

He has no skills though. Was he even the third best player on his team? Dude made no impact.

He's like Josh Selby if he was even dumber but with a crazy vert.

Both UCLA products too :ehh:

Still that team is very dysfunctional right now; more than when they didn't have Kevin because at least there was hope at that point

What's Shabazz Mohammed up to

Edit: another UCLA product :snoop:
