Following potential 2014 draftees

I've written on this topic extensively and lack the desire to do so again. I will say that I feel my reasons were very persuasive for those readers that asked the same question you did.

Indeed. I always argue in favor of this, but people cannot seem to wrap their minds around the idea. Makes complete sense to me. But I'm a libertarian, so I'm wacky.
 
Stretch four's are all the rage, and Jabari would make a very good one. He would get some abuse at PF defensively like Millsap took.

I think you'd try to have the 4 man set the screen for Jabari, force the switch and let him operate. But defensively you just have to face a Center who can shoot a little and lures Favors out of the paint. Then it would be easier to get to the basket than stealing from a shopping mall during a meteor impact.

If Granger has anything left, could sign him to a reasonable deal and put up a fairly potent offensive lineup with Parker at PF.

Favors (defensive anchor )
Parker (3 point bomber/#1 option)
Granger (3 point bomber/perimeter D)
Hayward (3 point bomber/secondary playmaker)
Burke (3 point bomber/primary playmaker)

6th man: Kanter
bench: Gobert, Burks, Rush?, GS 1st rounder

There's inside reports from Indy that Granger is done playing more than 20 mins a game. He also never played defense ;) So that would be a terrible D'Antoni lineup that wins regular season games but not playoff series. Please feel ashamed for suggesting that.

Could you link the discussion? The search function on that page is so bad I'd never find it.

Jabari is like the same size as Karl Malone and LeBron James.

Yeah let's speak about that when Jabari has the same strength. So we'll speak never again about it...
 
No idea where it was... I think in the 2013 thread (this one)... and also possibly the 2012 thread as well.
 
I watched this young guy. He looks interesting! Never heard of him before.

I'll try to watch a game that features him in the European competition.
 
Anybody going to watch Memphis v Okie State? Should be high on athletes and low on bball iq and coaching ability. I'll obviously be watching as a Big 12 guy.
 
Why not just make it more like baseball and have multiple professional leagues and not require college?

Who requires college? Guys right out of high school could go to Europe, D-League, etc. and then become eligible for the draft.
