Since it has become somewhat fashionable to do a big board... let me do one today:

1) Embiid
2) Wiggins
3) Gordon
4) Paker
5) Randle
6) Exum
7) Vonleh
8) Smart

Notes:

- Embiid: No major injury concern he's a sure fire #1 and could set up a franchise for years to come
- Gordon: Following the news that his shot has improved dramatically, together with his athleticism, defense and upside, I think when it is all said and done he could be regarded as the 3rd best player from this draft. If his shot improvement is legit and he is there at #5, we need to grab him with open arms.
- Parker: Edges out Randle because he'll be able to score in this league. His (lack of) defense still worries me
- Randle: Still like Randle's fire and I do think his fight will be the difference. If a team is willing to invest time & train him as a SF, he could be 3rd best pick when it's all said and done.
- Vonleh: His lack of fight still worries me, he'll still be a SOLID pick though
- Smart: Sorry, but I'm just not sold.
 
Saric's draft stock is over-inflated, he will fall to the teens. his defense is an issue.

Saric had a bunch of turnovers and couldn't buy a bucket last night vs Nolan Smith and Jusuf Nurkic's team in the 'Final Four'. Cibona's down 0-2 in the best of 5, Next game is on Tuesday
 
Lol at "with news of Gordon's shot improving...". My shot always improves when no one is guarding me.....and im not playing, ya know, basketball.

We will having no idea if Gordon has fixed his shot until he plays actual basketball. No GM is going to be convinced by a workout, brah. He's a gamble, you take it or you dont. You live with it either way.
