Following potential 2014 draftees

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Don't have to worry. Jazz will NOT darft Embiid, no matter where they land. The back troubles are a HUGE red flag. It is definitely an extremely high risk/high reward pick. In a draft this deep, whichever GM misses on a top-10 pick could find himself out of a job. And of all the players, I think Embiid has the biggest chance of being a miss. 1) He's still raw; 2) Will he stay healthy?

Jazz already have Favors and Kanter inside, with a promising defensive prospect in Gobert. If they draft a big, I think it more likely they go with a PF like Vonleh or Randle. If Wiggins and Parker went off the board first and the Jazz had the #3, I think they'd either trade down 1-2 spots or just take Exum.

Jumping to conclusions that NBA doctors will decide that Embiid's back is that serious.

Jumping to the conclusion that Core4 isn't stupid.

Don't worry, he's not. The media wants him to be cause it would make a good story for the Mormon kid to go to Utah.

Lindsey seems serious about building a defense-first team. I'm very confident he likes Wiggins and Embiid better. Maybe Exum too.

A story 99% of the NBA-loving population wouldn't give a **** about.

I doubt that non-Utah Jazz fans want the Jazz to land Wiggins or Embiid.

Chad Ford reported he loved Aaron Gordon.

Guessing this is DL's big board:

1. Wiggins
2. Embiid
3. Gordon
4. Parker (might draft him ahead of Gordon though cuz of pressure)
5. Smart

I'm sure non-Utah Jazz fans don't spend much time thinking about the Utah Jazz.

Only you like Gordon more than Parker, chump.

Its Official: Tyler Ennis will be entering the draft. https://espn.go.com/nba/draft2014/s...s-syracuse-orange-enter-nba-draft-per-sources

Out of the top 20 ranked people expected to enter the draft, Ennis is the only 1 I would be down right furious if we drafted.

NBAdraft.net could be run by my mother-in-law and it would be more informed than currently constituted. (to be fair, she's a Timberwolves scout)

Gordon ahead of Jabari? This is getting a bit much.
