Bold predictions for 2014 Draftees

Here are my crazy predictions:

Kansas, Oklahoma St, Kentucky, and some mid major with a ton of seniors make the Final Four (or Arizona).
Duke loses on the sweet 16.

Utah has the worst record in the NBA...and gets the fourth pick.

Sac gets the #1 pick (their reward for not leaving Sac)
New York gets #2
Milwaukee gets #3,
Utah gets #4

Sac takes Wiggins
New York takes Randle (because they already have Parker in Carmelo)
Milwaukee falls in love with Smart's leadership and winning attitude and take him #3
Parker falls to Utah.

GS doesn't make the playoffs, especially after Memphis and LA get their acts together. PHX goes all 2003 Utah Jazz and finish 41-41, just outside of the playoffs. Shabazz finds his role next to Rubio and Love, and Minnesota goes on a tear to end the season. Same with NO. Their wings get hot, and they make a push for the playoffs. GS ends up with the 8th pick in the draft. The Jazz trade Kanter with Boston for their pick and draft Embiid.

Now have this talent at their disposal:

Burke, Neto
Hayward, Burks
Parker
Favors
Embiid, Gobert

That would be awesome. Great rim protection, ball movement and decent shooting.

I also forgot that we would still have our GS pick with that scenario. Ha ha. Let's just say we screw Boston over big time, give them #8 and Kanter, and they give us Rondo and Embiid. They go full tank mode. Ha ha.
 
Parker ends up being a closet gay, shocking and saddening all the mormons on the board. He moves into a "survivor" type scenario with Amaechi, Collins (both of them), and Marv Albert.

Wiggins ends up being the energizer bunny with no discernible skills at the NBA level.

Randle has beast moments, but also takes time out to eat a ham sandwich while his man strolls to the basket far too often.

This.
 
Jazz get a high lottery pick, they use it to draft a player that plays the same position as another recent high draft pick. The pick gets used sparingly and inconsistently in his first two years prompting all of Jazzfanz to propose ridiculous trades just to move the guy.
 
Jabari is coming to Utah. The spirit confirmed it at lunch the other day. He will play for the jazz for a long time. Karl Malone 2.0, but like a point guard Karl Malone who is a power forward.
