What's new

Following potential 2014 draftees

Word out of Washington DC from Kevin Durrants Nike Game:

  • 1 NBA source in attendance believes Jabari is as good or better than Andrew Wiggins, the consensus top prospect in the class.
  • Wrote about the highly-anticipated 2014 NBA Draft yesterday. Related: Simeon's Jabari Parker, an incoming freshman at Duke was at Kevin Durant's Nike camp in DC. Heard he stole the show, even held his own playing with/against KD.

Thanks for the information. I'm hoping that you become a regular contributor to this thread throughout the season.
 
worried about Bennett getting blocked?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYpwWYw7lvc

at 1:30 wiggins throws down a dunk, runs back on defense, blocks the **** outa randle, then his teammate... Randle cant even scowl hes just scoreboard watching after the rejection

also Andrew Wiggins is an underclassman, Randle is the senior (the video to me looks like Randle is the underclassman going at Wiggins, whilst wiggins is in cruise control)

Randle tried to elbow and shove wiggins around this whole game, and got TRASHED in the 1v1, check the frustration in his offensive game, also Randle fouled out of this game with 15points

Wiggins scored 28 and his team won

when i watch this video of randle being a dooshe and sore loser, it makes sense that Wiggins didnt go to UK

randle will get tons of offensive fouls in the nba if hes gonna swing his elbows like that...

before we annoint other players over Wiggins lets remember this key point

Andrew Wiggins is as quick as a cat, none of these other 2014 guys are quick like that
 
to me Randle looks like a total dynamo half court player, inside of 18 feet.

in transition his handle is impressive for a player of that size (like anthony bennett)

to me Wiggins quickness is 10/10, so id never take him off the top spot,

but id take Parker over Randle, from what ive seen recently

Parker is really polished and efficent, hes always going to be crazy low turnovers, plus hes a threat from mid-range, 3, as a slasher and a passer. plus his BBIQ is much higher, as is his court vision

is Julius Randle a proficient FT shooter? or even a proficient FG% guy?

nike hoops summit 26minutes 9/17fg's 19 points, 1/4 FT's
at the Jordan Classic he went 3/7 at the FT line

i see in his fiba lines hes got some 8/12 FT shooting games but i see some 50% games too, i cant find proper stats nor do i have the time or energy to search for more than a minute

also is julius Randle ever going to be more than a 1:1 Assist to turnover guy? i think not

so whilst hes very dominant in his niche, give me Wiggins or Parker all day

also id take Noah Vonleh over Randle... but thats just me, i like Triple threat players, like lebron, everyones gonna taunt randle to shoot
 
i always base my ratings out of 100, this isnt up to the point where ive discussed it ad nasuem like the 2013 group

but basically i can give you a nice rough draft really quick,

#1 Wiggins 99/100
#2 Parker 97/100
#3 Andrew Harrison 97/100
#4 Mario Hezonja 96/100
#5 Noah Vonleh 96/100
#6 Julius Randle 96/100
#7 Aaron Gordon 95/100
#8 Marcus Smart 94/100
#9 James Young 94/100
#10 Dante Exum 94/100

(for perspective i had Len at 97, Shabazz at 96, Noel and Bennett at 95's)

i would have Kasey Hill in the top 10, but i need to see him return to form, Schroder dismantled him in the Summit game

Dear king of hyperbole,

Who anointed any player over Wiggins?

Thanks,

Everyone

I agree with Parker over Randle.. but not Vonleh. I may change my mind.. but having watched them both for two years.. that's how I see it.

Your methodology smells of bs but your list is pretty good. I really only have a prob with randle too low and vonleh too high.
