Following potential 2014 draftees

[fishonjazz]

Doug McDermott with a very impressive 36.5" max vert. He measured shorter than most people thought, but his max vert will help him.

How the **** did he do that?

Everyone must be shocked by that

I have been saying he is more athletic than people give him credit for ....... for weeks ... so not along time but still.

Parker not in elite shape?

Rumors are running rampant among NBA scouts that Parker's no-show had less to do with his lofty draft status and more to do with the fact that he still isn't in elite shape.

Several teams told me that their intel has him as much as 15 to 20 pounds overweight. It's clear that Parker could be susceptible to weight gain, so that's not a surprise. But given his work ethic and character, I'd be surprised if he was really that overweight.

If the rumor is true, that won't bode well for his draft stock.

I wonder how much Parker gets credit for work ethic because he is a high character guy. How much is really due to his actual work ethic. If he were such a workout warrior, would he look so flabby and undefined during the season? Would there ever be whispers like above saying he might be overweight? Don't guys with great work ethic look like Karl Malone, Lebron, Kobe, MJ?

I guess I'm just not convinced Parker's work ethic is anything to write home about. In fact, I wouldn't be shocked if his work ethic were a little below average.

Some people can kind of cheat the system and work really hard to show out for these test and drills. I don't really care for the NBA combine outside of official measurements.

So is Wiggins fat and lazy, too?
Good to know. Now I don't want either with a top-4 pick. They should slide all the way down to 9/10.

Very true. I thought he'd look slimmer by the end of the season but he didn't at all to me.

I will need Fabtrey to verify that for me though.

yes because everyone has to have the same reasons for doing everything.

I just think it ridiculous for some writer to throw it out there that "NBA scouts" attribute Parker's absence to his physical shape, not to his agent telling him to skip the combine. No doubt Embiid was told to skip because he's lying in traction somewhere. Heck, for all we know, Wiggins skipped because he feared taking a drug test. Brings to mind the old "Rumors" song by Bobby Brown.
