Agree on Embiid and Exum (I was first to bring both those names to the board, btw.. dick swag).

I see a big drop from top 4.

I think I agree, but I have not seen Exum play so it is tough to say.

Which is as much a reason to be the worst as any: it sets the basement of the pick as the 4th.

Have you soured on Randle THAT much? Really?

Yes. Nothing to do with losses either.
His athleticism is overrated.
His handles are closer to average than elite for a PF.
Too below the rim.

He's good. Going to be very good. But I don't see elite in his future.
 
why is everyone so meh on gordon. I wouldn't put him with wiigins and parker but I don't think he's a bust. I think he has room to improve his game wjich is a good thing. I think he will be better than Hayward.

Why are you comparing a low-skill big to high-skill perimeter players?

It's not a comp.

I can say that Wiggins will be a better player than Burke. That doesn't mean I think he would be a better pg, just that he will have a larger impact.

I don't have an opinion on Gordon. Haven't had the chance to see him play a single minute. Hope to watch him sometime soon

So what you are saying is that you are a closet Phoenix Suns fan. That is just great BTP.

No I'm just saying that I like good quality basketball and Phoenix is showing that. So I'm watching. I'm also watching the Pacers amongst others. Does that mean I'm a Pacers fan? No! It means I'm a fan of the ball that the Pacers play right now. Or do you think wanting Dragic makes me a Pacers fan?
 
Am I the only one that thinks Marcus Smart strongly resembles Russel Westbrook? I'm not sure if he'd be #3 for me in this draft, but I think he'd be a solid choice.
 
So, the Jazz have the #3 pick. Is Kanter, Burks and #3 enough to move up to #2? Then a GM could have Smart, Kanter and Burks for the #2 pick. Not too bad. They would be the new Kings. Same players, better attitude. Lol.

Anyways, I think Parker or Wiggins is available at #3. Someone will call in love with size and potential. GM's can't help themselves.

Then why trade that much to move up?

I think this depends on who's BPA and who's looking for best fit. For example if Randle is clear cut #2 then that's possible, because for example Philly wouldn't really need him IMO. They'd want Exum or Parker if they don't get Wiggins(unless they have miracle workers who can transform Nerlens Noel into Hulk). So if they would take Randle primarily for retooling and trades at #2(e.g. letting both Randle and Noel play for another 2015 pick and then decide who makes the team) then they might be tempted to take an offer like to swap picks and get their player at a lower salary. I also think giving up Kanter + Burks for 1 slot is way too much. I think Burks + future 2nd is more reasonable. But that would depend on who's picking where and if there's a concensus BPA at these slots.
 
I'm all for Embiid. I like him more than Randle at this point, and Smart and Exum are both SG/PG, which I don't think is a big need. If Jazz were at 4 and Parker/Wiggins/Embiid are both gone, then it gets a little tricky. Do you take Randle and play him over Kanter, or Exum and move Hayward to SF?
