Diamond in the Rough: 2014 Draft

[Dr. Jones]

I'd probably go Vonleh then WCS then KA then kill myself.

Size/Huge/NAOS, who's your pick bro, I know you're reading this.

Yah, great picks.


You don't think Nikkk is worth the 8th pick? You're mostly concerned about his defense/physical toughness right? But what if he's Curry-lite type shooter in 2-3 years time? Isn't he worth the 8th pick?

Curry was picked 7th BTW.

I don't see it.

Would tank in picking/drafting to get even better next year. Being a loser wins you things right?

 

[bjunior]

vonleh is such a waste of a pick

Not when you half *** a tank like the Jazz.

When you lose like the Sixers and Bucks doe

Vonleh definitely seems to be grouped in the top 8, but I wouldn't be able to get excited about that pick. I just wouldn't.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

2011 draft was pretty average, I would probably rank them:

1. Kyrie
2. Faried
3. Klay
4. Kanter
5. Burks/Kawhai

I think --

Kyrie
Kanter/Valanciunas
K. Thompson
Burks
Kawhai
T. Thompson

Exactly.


He's just one of those "going through the motion" type pick IMO. He's certainly got a lot of potential, but I just don't see him having an elite skill at the next level.


To me he's kinda like the "Thomas Robinson" of the 2012 pick. Seems like a safe pick at the time, but just a bit 'meh' at the end of the day.

Dougie McBuckets. Next years rookie of the year. He doesn't have sensational athleticism, but the dude can shoot from any where and can score in the NBA.

I'd say rebounding is an elite skill he has. He's either 1st or 2nd in the NCAA in rebounds per minute.
