Barnes was just never really that good. Everyone saw that he wasn't the all-world player he was gassed up to be when he got to UNC.

Don't matter what team he went to.

He is what he is. He's a fringe starter. He'll never be a 1st or 2nd option on a team

I agree

With my luck, the Celtics will move up in the draft and nab Wiggins and he's going to be a monster and elite player.

And I'll have to watch his career in Boston as he lights up the Knicks for 50 point games in MSG routinely.

But mostly likely they'll nab Jabari, he'll be a beast and I'll have to watch him light up the Knicks in MSG for 50 point games routinely.

So either way I'm screwed.

We'll take care of Wiggins for ya J.

Sorry you'll have to deal with Jabari tho.

I don't know why but I've always had this notion that the first pick the Celtics make would be a big man. I don't know how high their pick will be anyway

I want to see Wiggins end up in Orlando.. but if they get Exum that would be awesome as well.

**** I forgot about Randle too.. I'm really high on him... basically whoever Boston drafts just pencil them in to multiple all-star teams and all-NBA lists.. because the Knicks don't suffer enough.

 

[captainjackson]

knowing how much the NBA loves the bucks, they'll finish with the worst record but get the 4-5th pick

hows the draft looking guys? Randle, Wiggins, Embiid, Parker, Exum…. How do y'all think it will go down? 

Draft is still weaker than it's made out to be. The best players in the draft right now are Jabari Parker, Andrew Wiggins and Marcus Smart IMO. Parker can be an immediate 25/5/5 guy on a terrible team, but I don't think he contributes enough defensively to get anywhere in the foreseeable future. Wiggins is too raw, he won't be making any impact on anything for a good 3/4 years. Smart will stay in his lane but he can bring Ws to any team on either end of the floor and he has mad potential. He reminds me of Eric Bledsoe.

Exum is a question mark, but he looks to be a big guard who can actually shoot, and that is a deadly combination, so in a few year he'll be great for anyone. Randle doesn't play enough d for me and Embiid is also too raw. The potential is there for Embiid but it will be well into his career before he becomes elite in any aspect of the game IMO. Kind of like Hibbert

Parker is not a 25 ppg scorer in the NBA right now. Absolutely not

 

[rook]

Lmao son really said parker can avg 25 as a rookie. Man wut in the world

[dt43]

I saw that too.. when was the last time a rookie averaged 25/5/5? Jordan?

 

[$tacy]

Wow jabari gonna be the next mj

As they should. They should penalize the worst team in the league or make the odds more closer

The team with the worst record can't get anything worse than the 4th pick.

Sixers are two games in front of the Bucks. We need to keep this losing streak alive.
