Chad Ford on ESPN 700 with Keith Stubbs today (6/11/14)

Do you want me to go look up the place where Favors said that?

1) Demarcus Cousins wants to be a PG. Who ****ing cares?
2) NOAH VONLEH IS NOT A SF. Refer to sig.

The best player on our team cares. The NBA is a players league; you need to take their preferences into account.

2) NOAH VONLEH IS NOT A SF. Refer to sig.

Then, if we draft him, it would be to play the same position Favors prefers?

You didn't tell us your thoughts on exum. And every single one of the players you named were guys that were drafted because they were big guys perceived to have skill. Exum is a guard who is supposedly lightning quick with a decent shot. The comparisons are not even at all alike.

Again, tell us why you don't like exum. And when you tell us why you don't like exum, tell us what is crappy about Derrick rose, Westbrook, mcw, penny hardaway, young Kobe, and any other tall, quick combo guard.

I told more about Exum than any other player, go reread my posts. Players you mentioned are way superior to Exum when it comes to athleticism. Don't be silly putting Exum' name with Westbrook and D.Rose... seriously watch the tape he is a turtle compared to cheetah with these guys. He has no lift or body strength either to finish through contact in NBA either. Plus Westbrook and D.Rose had way more experience and exposure before draft.
You talk about decent shot... my oh my... Exum sucks at shooting. Big time. 10-23 FT in two medal games where his team needed him the most and he failed badly. 5-17 3 pts = decent shooting? Another game I found on youtube he shot 4-15 from 3pt in one game! He is poor shooting volume chucker who will be absolutely negated in NBA by real defenses. Which exactly what happened even when he faced team USA in U19. Smart, Gordon and company send him hiding to bench after 11 min. Dude had 4 turnovers to 0 assists in 11 minutes!

can you tell me your thoughts on ginobli and parker? same applies to exum.

Sure if he is drafted in 20's or 50s... I don't mind. Not in top 5. Exum's draft position is crazy overrated. Get him at 23, stash him in Europe for 2 years than see if it was worth taking him.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Giannis is a decent comparison simply because there's so much of an unknown factor with Exum. I personally am not a huge fan of his. I'd love him as an upside draft and stash pick in the back end of the lotto, but certainly not at 5. The big thing for me is that for all the potential and hype, he hasn't done a single thing at a high level. Wiggins, Embiid, Parker, Gordon, Smart and even Randle have shown that they could perform at a high level in college against quality opponents. Vonleh wasn't as successful, but still performed well and has that same level of upside. Saric has been a solid pro in Europe for years.

IMO, all of them are better options than Exum. He's probably the player I'd be least excited about them drafting.

My wish list.
1. Trade the pick. Up preferably. Or with other assets for an Allstar
2. Exum
3. Vonleh
4. Smart
5. Gordon
