Following potential 2014 draftees

So Chad Ford is now projecting Jabari as the #4 pick (ESPN)---Wiggy, Embiid, Exum as the top 3.

Could happen... Magic really want a point guard supposedly. It's all going to depend where people are drafting and how the draftees do at workouts.
 
If I'm Exum or his reps I only have him do measurement stuff at the combine. I guess thats probably a no-brainer though.
 
Check this out from Kevin Pelton's chat. More dumping on Harrison Barnes. Worth tanking for? Kinda makes me laugh.

I saw Thorpe wrote up on the disappointing sophomores. What do you make of Harrison Barnes' issues this year? We all know he's still young, but is it just confidence issues or is the system around him lacking in some way?

Kevin Pelton
I don't think he's very good at basketball. I mean relative to the world, obviously he is, but he didn't rate well in college and has rated well in the NBA for about a month last April/May. That's a long time to live off an assessment of potential from his senior year of high school, and it seems to overwhelm systems, etc.
 
I'm 6'2", 175lbs. I can touch the bottom of the net and easily dunk on an 8' hoop. Insane upside but I take complete months off, mentally. I could see me as high as 7, behind Randle, or as low as completely undrafted.
 
So there seems to be a consensus top eight, in no particular order.

Wiggins, Parker, Embiid, Vonleh, Gordon, Randle, Exum, Smart

Anybody know of any other players that could be picked ahead of any of these dudes?

tbh, I want a top 3 pick, but I'll be fine as long as we get one of the top 6 dudes, which to me are all those dudes minus Smart and Vonleh
