2014 NBA Draft Thread

[brandon3000]

 
Lavine hit 45.5"


 

and in jordan team 1's :x , that might be more impressive than what wiggins did.

word. I'm psyched for this draft to see where all these guys end up

 

[nick.]

Stauskas has a 40" vertical? :x

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Let me tell you this is why the historical vertical numbers are so funny, it's clear these guys have been traning specifically for these tests in a way guys in the past didn't.

Monta Ellis didn't crack 32', Andre Iguadala was 34' if I remember correctly. Jumping 40 use to be a rare thing, now the training and preparation is so much better guys do it way mor often.


Nik's a good athlete always has been but Michigan strength coaches deserve the credit for that 40.

 

[drones]

All these fake reports are coming out. You'll hear a report about X team doing Y trade, then the GM comes out and denies it, and then some espn guy says his cousins friends agent says its true...I'm trying to tune out all of these reports for the next week.

Like I said earlier in this thread, my boy OJ pushed a 41 coming into the draft That told me all that I needed to know about the significance of verts.

 

[denni5themenace]

didn't farmar have like a 42 inch vert?

 

[buc em]

I have a strong feeling Dante Exum will be a Sixer and MCW will be on another team come next Thursday.

If this happens look for Patty Mills also to join his Australian national team coach and teammate in Philly this summer.

 

[wavycrocket]

If I was Utah, I'd give up favors, the pic and something else for Parker. Makes Soo much sense.

 

[pmatic]

This "Jabari to Utah" thing is getting really tiresome.

I get it, but meh.

 

[mgrand15]

If Utah cared that much, they would've went after Jimmer.

 

[awwsome]

Farmar gets up there though, seen dude throwing down all types of crazy **** in a pick up game.


Dudes be freezing up when that NBA jersey on though.

 

[awwsome]

Come on fam, Bari > Jimmer by a long shot no pun intended.

Im sorry but if philly gives up on mcw for exum i might have to switch squads. Idc what anybody says, this dude is a future star man



I cant eem embed but click that link

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I would throw Demar Derozan off the side of a boat for Exum.

with a quickness and he's better than MCW.

 

[awwsome]

Willing to bet my SN on Exum.


You can't watch all his tape and not see it.

 

[pmatic]

There's so little tape to see.

 

[awwsome]

True but even at FIBA, kid was beating Payton who's a great defender/athlete easily off the dribble and while double teamed.

He played with a bunch of bums, was the focal point of every defense he faced and still flourished on all the elite worldwide talent at his age range, not even bringing up his measurements which are outstanding.



Also was giving dudes work at the Hoop Summit with Wiggins, so fun to watch, make it happen Philly.

 

[dacomeup]

There's so little tape to see.

That's the most scary thing about him as a prospect to me. 

 Enes Kanter effect. Do like what I've seen, though. Just seen so much more of most of the other kids. 

 

[100027]

I love The comparison of Jabari & PG or even Kawhi Leonard.... Great defenders, who aren't great shooters but can also finish

? Isn't Jabari a horrible defender

 

[100027]

I had high hopes for Kanter coming into this season. He has NBA tools. But.... It might be too late.

 

[awwsome]

? Isn't Jabari a horrible defender

Dude must haven't watched a lick of his tape.


Son comparing him to elite athletes who came in with better defensive IQ's than Bari.

They ain't touching him on the other side of the ball though, his offensive repertoire is immaculate.

I pegged him for Most Improved before the season.

If only he could play defense.

 

[victor page]

 
Nick Johnson and Lavine, two amazing athletes. I think Johnson will contribute right away.

Not that we need another guard but I wouldn't mind him on the Wizards with their 2nd round pick. Need somebody not named Andre Miller or Garrett Temple to come off the bench for Wall/Beal.

 

[awwsome]

Too late for Kanter when he just turned 22 in May though?

 

[rook]

Welp looks like philly really wants to trade mcw.

That rumor if mcw + young to lakers for that 7 pick + nash is kinda...eh

IF that happens, id go

Exum at 3
Emiid/vonleh at 7
Lavine/harris/staus at 10
