I'm not sold on Exum but you would play him at SG. Which would work because Trey is an excellent spot up shooter.

He is pretty bad from 3 and to slow to defend SG in NBA. He is big slow playmaker kind of like Vasquez in NBA. You don't waste top 3-4 pick on that.

Haha now I know you are a dumbass.

Exum has elite level quickness. His first step is his biggest weapon. The kid is crazy fast.
 
There is a chance that Embiid ends up like Oden. You don't take that risk with the #3 pick. I honestly believe that Randle is the second/third best player in this draft, I go BPA.

Embiid is much more polished offensively than Oden. And stress fracture of one vertebra which does not require surgery is nowhere near as dangerous as knee problems Oden had. Yes the risk is there but is not as bad.
 
Haha now I know you are a dumbass and don't what you are talking about.

wtf you are talking about, all video's I have seen him playing he is slow as hell.
 
Exum's perimeter shooting is horrible. If you can't get a good shooter, draft Embiid and move Favors/Kanter.
 
No freaking way Exum should be taken over Embiid. Unproven, poor shooter, average athlete pg ( We do have Burke right?) at best over true 7 footer with elite defensive and post up skills? Only concern about Embiid I have is his back now, otherwise it is slam dunk decision here. Unless his back is really effed up badly Embiid will be top 2 pick , mark my words.

Burks already fits that role way better than Exum.

Think this might be the first time I've ever agreed with AK666, but you have to consider the rodent that started this stupid thread!

No need to move either one of them they can both play the 4. That 3 man rotation sounds pretty sweet to me.
 
Jazz can never turn down the chance of drafting a center. Embiid has the potential to be one of the best bigs in the league. Just can't see them turning that down.
 
I watched numerous videos of Exum and even if they say he is "extremely quick" I have not seen a single episode/play where his speed would be anywhere close to NBA speed. Keep in mind he is playing vs very weak competition here so he may look quick, but it is just illusion. He has long stride which helps him with first step vs these slow guys here, but in NBA he would be negated very easily. And on defense his lateral quickness is average at best. Hope he proves me wrong but I just don't see it in him.
 
I think a lot of people underrate Exum due to not seeing him play against competition and so on, but as good as scouts think he could be, Embiid's ceiling is even higher.

I take Embiid if his back checks out. He's someone you could potentially build an offense AND defense around. Guys like that don't come around often.
