Following potential 2014 draftees

[bigmike]

I've been completely sold on Gordon for some time. Drafting him #4 and on would be fine by me.

He'll defend 4 positions, rebound, he can score, create his own shot, high character guy...low risk, high reward guy. He will be a great pro.

He can't even start for UCLA, but he can contribute immediately in the NBA.

Ok. That makes sense.

Google Marvin Williams



Have a good night

I think he would contribute immediately to a fast break team (rockets, lakers, warriors) or to a team with a young star. I'm not sure if there are more than 2-3 players faster than him in the entire league.

I doubt he will be ready to run any half court sets for a few years. He's a project, no doubt.

Yeah, but in the NBA teams have players that can play better D, have more offensive skills, and play in transition. He wouldn't get much playing time at all before a significant period of development.

His jump shot doesn't look awful either. The exciting that his shot looks fixable, might never be, but there is hope he will eventually become a more complete offensive player.

Google Marvin Williams

I would say Marvin was a more consistent contributor though, and his body was obviously more NBA ready. Atlanta kind of regrets taht pick though.

And his game dropped significantly in conference play. That is a big red-flag that the player gets overwhelmed by competition.

Backtracking, how typical. Yeah but yeah but yeah but....

LOL.

The point is, Marvin wasn't a starter and contributed immediately to the NBA. True, it's probably more of the exception than the rule. But it sort of blows up your point that a player who doesn't start in college won't contribute immediately to the NBA.

Lastly, there are literally only 2-3 players (David Lee, cp3, d will)that Atlanta probably wishes they had taken instead of Marvin. Altogether, he wasn't that bad of a pick.

Lavine.

Really though the top 7 guys all look great and I'll be happy with one of them. Wonder which will bust though...

A lot of it has to do with the physique more than anything with Lavine. I just don't see him playing much at that size. Not sure they even feel confident enough in his ball handling ability and decision making to play backup point.
