Guys ..... GUYS!!!

With all the injuries going around the NBA at the moment, Curry, Iggy, Rose, Gasol, etc, etc, ...

How would you rank who will be the most "injury prone" of the potential top 5 pick: Jabari, Wiggins, Randle, Embiid, Exum?????

OK - let me start. Most injury prone ranking:

1. Jabari - he's slightly on the heavy side with his frame/height. So I would suspect there will be some pressures on those knees/joins/ankles.
2. Exum - his frame is just too slight ATM. I suspect he'll get banged up easily in the NBA. Not having played in college is also a problem.
3. Wiggins - those off the dribble moves must catch up with him sooner than later
4. Randle - looks pretty solid to me. Post-moves aren't too taxing on the body.
5. Embiid - seems very durable. He hasn't been playing basketball for long, so there's less pressures on those joints.


Conclusion: Jabari potentially the most injury prone of the bunch is a bit of a worry. High risk/High reward ... I suppose. He's not fail-safe as many here would have you believed, that's for sure.

Thoughts?????

My thought process being, if Gobert can be the Jazz's Hibbert (12ppg, 9reb, 2.5blks) and The Jazz pick falls out of the top whatever(Please No!!!) The Jazz then have the decision to take Smart, Gordon, etc and maybe, MAYBE, pass on Embiid. Point is, if you don't find out this season, it will do little good next if you pass on a particular player.

I would be a little disappointed if the Jazz ended up with Smart, Gordon and even Embiid not because they aren't great prospects but the Jazz need to get a star player in the backcourt. I would love to get Embiid or even Gordon but the Jazz need to move one of these guys, Gobert Favors or Kanter if they bring in a fourth big.

So would I, but I believe they have finally figured out there roster that has the best chance of winning(not saying they will, just the best chance of). If they end up with the 5th pick, it wold be nice to know what potential Gobert has before entering this particular draft.
