2014 NBA Draft Thread

Dude Wiggins smiling like he got Botox, you know damn well he wanted to go #1, said straight up he never cared about college ball growing up at all, NBA or nothing.
 
Just saw what Adam Silver said about the kid from Baylor who couldn't play anymore, literally brought a tear to my eyes. Scumbag Stern pales in comparison to the Silver Surfer
 
still can't believe the magic passed on exum


think a lot of teams pegged Exum as a 2 guard at the moment, and perhaps they just weren't sold on his ability as a point.

it's part of the reason why he skipped the Jazz workout, because of Burke.


He's dead-set on being an NBA point but some teams just don't see it, maybe including the Magic..


And maybe it was down to Gordon/Smart and felt Gordon had the higher upside.


They ended up with Elfrid Payton so, I guess they got who they wanted and not who we all expected.

 fingers crossed tho i hope it does 
 
Hinkie stockpiling assets. Can't say enough how much I love the strategy. Philly assembling an army.

The 76ers will continue to be in the Lottery for the next 5 years with that strategy... At some point you need a real structure and vets... Working like a farm system until your player leaves for a good team isn't a great idea but ya'll will learn.

I liked the sound of an Exum and Olapido back court. Neither are above-average shooters at this point, but both prospects have room for improvement in that department. Payton and Vic is nice in principle defensively, but Elfrid shoots poorer than Exum.
 
They wanted Ennis, he was gone, why not take Shabazz :{ ... really don't understand what they were thinking, same goes for MJ and Cho, why would you help the Heat.
The hornets knew what Miami wanted and drafted him for the sole purpose of getting the extra second round pick. With both of those picks being traded for cash and cap space. Powell went to Cleveland for Alonzo Gee and the cavs took Brendon Haywood's 2.5 cap hit and then the guard from Xavier was traded to Okc for cash. So now the hornets have about 20.5 mil after signing the rookies in cap for free agency. And if they can move Hendo that would give them an extra 6 or 7 mil to play with. Plus MJ wants Melo and now has enough cap to do it. Still think its a longtshot he comes.

Rich Cho building. Vonleh falls to #9, great value and resists Dougie. Hairston spaces the floor with his shooting.

Superstars ain't going to Charlotte unless Mike is putting another $10M per year into Melo's Jordan deal... which could actually happen.
