Following potential 2014 draftees

I think Wiggins got tired of people saying that he wasn't that special. I was hearing a of comments like. He's not as good as Lebron or Durant. Basically so he's not a game changer. Wiggins is a future All-Star. So what if he's not Lebron or Kobe. I think he'll end up a lot closer than some think he'll be.

When I watch Wiggins for most of the game I think what is the big deal. Then he'll make two or three plays that make me scratch my head and wonder why he doesn't dominate. Maybe he isn't strong enough yet and his handle isn't ready. But his jumper is there and his finishing ability will continue to improve as he becomes stronger.

I would still be very happy drafting him.

Said this in another thread, but fo real...PKM was calling attention to emblid and Exum a few years ago.

We need a top 8 pick. I think you can almost guarantee an all star in that range. a little dicey the next 4 and then some nice role players through most of the 1st round.

Here is my call

3 superstars

8 All stars

13 starters

( superstars and all stars factored into the starters)

Didn't you hear, this draft is overrated.

I agree with this. I think Embiid is on a higher tier than Parker as an NBA prospect. Embiid and Wiggins should go top 2.

I agree and the more I see Embiid the more I think he is the number one guy. He has that it factor. Just watch how he battles and man can he defend the basket. I think his offensive game is behind but I really do believe he has the potential to be a star. The more I see him the more I want to trade any one on the Jazz roster to get him.

Wiggins is getting better. People have to realize that he is trying to play with his teammates and not be a ball hog. Kansas has a lot of guys who want to get their stats too. I still go away wanting more out of Wiggins while Embiid just gives me the WOW factor when I watch him.
 
2 way players are worth their weight in gold. to often players just want to score and seldom give any more then passive effort on defense. embiid is the best 2 way player in this draft. wiggins is also a good 2 way player. smart is one of the best on the ball defenders also.

this is where Parker drops off. he is a great offensive player, although we are seeing a drop off now teams are game planning against him, but he is not a great defender.

I don't know enough about exum to say.

Gordon looks like he might be a good defender but lacks some the offensive polish but if he gets that polish he might be good but I don't see the desire defensively.

Would love it if somehow we get the 4th pick and teams talked themselves out of Parker and he somehow grabbed him there.


That would still be like winning the lottery in any other year.

I disagree, name me a high quality Center in the last drafts who wasn't a Senior who had such developed inside moves like Embiid?
