2014 Draft Combine

Didn't you hear? I'm part of the Wiggins centipede. I don't play it safe.

Safe drafting only applies for #23. When you have a chance with someone as sexy as Wiggins, you don't stop to put on the combine. You act immediately and deal with any consequences later.
 
I don't want safe with any pick.

I thought you would say "this".

But we can go with Porzingis, if you like. Darft him, stash him and wait for him to fill his body without losing his good traits. Or we can go with, a player like LaVine. If you want to go crazy then I suggest to look a second rounder Euro like Bogdanovic and Micic. Pretty unsafe at 23 but definitely steals at 35.

There are lots of safe picks around 23 though. A lot of close players, it's a bit hard to go unsafe.

Porzingis or LaVine are at the top of my list at 23. There really is only one other player that I like there but he will most likely be gone and that is KJ.

Every sport is like that. You can measure how fast, how high, etc., but you have to watch film to ultimately see if the guy is a player or just a workout wonder. Measurements only tell part of the story. And that's why you still have a lot of 2nd rounders that go on to become great players (Boozer, Millsap, etc). They were passed over because they didn't have the ideal height or speed to play a certain position - or didn't shoot well at first, but they maximized their strengths and minimized their weaknesses through sheer effort.

Yet, plenty of workout warriors get drafted way before they should. The NFL especially doesn't seem to get it.
 
I like Jokic at 35. He was an unknown last year and now he showing some real feel with his passing. He is still inexperienced and looks like Kanter as a prospect . He has a good looking shot and can shoot 3pters but he is somewhat streaky. Has a good footwork but gets blocked or puts himself on tough spots occasionally. He is below the rim and he is not a fast runner but he acknowledges his weaknesses. He had good in-game relationship with Mudiay receiving and giving passes.

He can also speak English.

Lavine, Bogdan, Inglis, and Porzingis will all be gone by 35. There upsides are too high to last. Micic will be there though, not that I want him.

I suggested LaVine and Porzingis at 23. I'd take Bogdan in a heartbeat at 35 but except DX, many draft sites project him lover, it's surprising to me actually.

Micic, in my opinion, is a no pass at 35, a true steal.
