2014 NBA Draft Thread

[HEATHEN]

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.

I liked that combo as well, and I really thought Exum under the mentorship of Nelson could've grown into the position.


But when GM's tend to pile onto a popular opinion, a kid's plans can go down the drain. He's gonna have to resign himself to playing the 2 in Utah.


Awkward...

dude is so overrated.

his athleticism is what gets people making wild comparisons.

Trey, Exum, Hayward, Kanter, Favors. Burks, Hood, Gobert.

Trey, Exum, Hayward, Kanter, Favors. Burks, Hood, Gobert.

a lot of young talent there, Jazz just need to develop it properly. Favors is a great centerpiece.

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

Yeah I don't think Melo comes with Chicago still in play but Jordan could make Melo a lucrative off the court deal. But regardless the hornets are in position to make some good moves along with quality draft picks.

DeAndre Kane and LaQuiton Ross landed on the Lakers SL team.

Honestly not sure if Favors and Kanter are compatible as a starting front court.

dude cant shoot, cant go east or west or create for others. idk man i just think hes very overrated

 

[jumpman91023]

Hope Kane makes the squad.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Nice move by the Lakers. Kane could be 6th man right away for them.

Wiggins reminds me a lot of Harrison Barnes

Me too, both black, 6'8 and play basketball.

Trey, Exum, Hayward, Kanter, Favors. Burks, Hood, Gobert.

Probably my new favorite team.

Says more about the Lakers than anything.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

True if the Lakers could sign Bledsoe and Monroe (or someone else of that caliber) that would be a pretty decent offseason.

Any word on Patric Young? I really thought he'd make a good pro prospect. His build, maturity. Like Dejuan Blair you know?

Kane will make it.

Nice glue guy. He'll get picked up by someone. Hopefully the Knicks. Good defender, tough player, cleans the glass.

I get the mitch mcgary pick for the thunder.. if he doesn't hurt his back, then who knows where he goes.. and he stopped working out for teams and didn't give medical info (presumably after the thunder made him a promise)

if their is any truth to the heat want perkins (please dear lord baby jesus), then i'll fly to OKC to help him pack his bags.. but if not, he's gone after next season when his contract is up anyways

and nick collison's deal is also up after next season.. and he's getting older (currently 33, going be 34 in October)

so we need that 3rd big to go with ibaka and adams, if both perkins and collision are gone after next season

I have no clue about huestis and christon

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Semaj should do well in Charlotte.

 

[brandon3000]

Semaj should do well in Charlotte.

I agree. He did well up there in Cincy with the Musketeers. Will be interesting to see him learn from Kemba

 

[awwsome]

Semaj should do well in Charlotte.

Like him a lot, great change of pace off the bench.

Really love what Charlotte did in this draft, Rich Cho tryna be great.



Zeller better be in the gym working RIGHT NOW.

Traded to Okc for cash

Homeless man's Russ on OKC? I like.

Presti reign continues.





















Brooks won't know who he is till his 3rd year in the league.
