Following potential 2014 draftees

BTW, I think Aaron Gordon has some bust potential. I know he'll at least be a defensive specialist, but his feel for the game on offense kinda scares me. He's just not very skilled, smooth or nuanced, and I'm not sure this is something that can change. I just don't see him putting up many points consistently. I actually like Vonleh ahead of Gordon and Smart right now.
 
Had a good conversation with a friend of mine today who is a D1 assistant coach. The more I hear about him, the more I think Exum could slide into the top 3 (likely 3rd behind Embiid and wiggins). The guy said every college and pro scout who has seen him raves about him. Alpha dog type, very coachable, smart/well-spoken, and tons of talent. Smooth 6'6" PG's with great handles and athleticism don't grow on trees.

I think there's a very clear-cut top 4 in this draft. 5 or below would be crushing.

I'm really, really hoping for top 4.

We'll still get a nice piece if someone leap frogs us, but I was hoping for more than just a "nice piece" from our tank pick. We have more than enough nice pieces already. We need a bona fide star.
 
I have Exum ahead of Randle and at least on the same tier as Parker.

Our chances of getting in the top 4 are 43% or 44%. It's not quite 50-50.

The top 4 picks should all be All Stars, and I see some drop-off at that point.

There's a slim chance that someone will take Randle or Smart in the top 4, letting a top-4 player slide to 5.

I wouldn't bet a dime on that happening.

*Darren Collison and maybe he was talking about Exum as well? Who knows, I would be alright with drafting Smart, dude is a shut down defender.

Smart is my pick after the Wiggins/Parker/Embid trio. I think me, Vermin and a couple others are only on that bandwagon though.
