What's new

Following potential 2014 draftees

I think it's not clear if Parker is SF or PF right now is what PKM wants to say with it. But his weight says PF,height indicates SF. Wingspan ignored cause prolly unknown. Game between the 2 positions is pretty much interchangable in some ways. Speed, agility and strength are the decisive factors determining which forward position he'll play long term.

I believe that he will slim down in the NBA and play at SF ala Paul Pierce.

Won't disagree. Highly possible. I just think PKM went with how he looks right now and 240 on a 6'8" frame is more Powerforward-ish. Seeing the Interview at the McDonalds highschool game, it looks like his mom is really gifted in the kitchen ;)

Parker had been injured for a while and was very much out of shape. He'll primarily be a 3 that can also play the 4.
 
Nice post cowhide. Precisely what we did <--------------- understatement.

Let's take a VERY early look at some SF's in 2014;

Andrew Wiggins (6'8) - Kansas - Needs to introduction (freshman)
Glenn Robinson (6'6) - Michigan - We'll see how he does this year at Michigan .. especially without Trey Burke. (sophomore)
T.J. Warren (6'8) - N.C. State (sophomore)
Sam Dekker (6'7) - Wisconsin (sophomore)
Alex Poythress (6'8) - Kentucky (sophomore)
LaQuintin Ross (6'8) - Ohio State (junior)
Kyle Anderson (6'8) - UCLA (sophomore)

OG already brought up Parker, but where is Vonleh? Or do you view him as a PF?
 
I'm not PKM, but I view Vonleh as a PF. I just don't think he'll ever have the ball handling skills to be an effective SF.

From what I've seen, I would take his handles over Shabazz' for sure. I actually thought they looked pretty good in videos I've watched, but I guess I should read a scouting report.
 
Alright, lets get this one going. I enjoyed my day off yesterday.

First question: Is Noah Vonleh expected to be in this draft, and can he play SF in a Josh Smith sorta way?
 
sf seems to be the biggest need.

wiggins (in our wettest dreams)
Parker (best fit)
vonleh
poythress
young
Robinson III
hezonja (don't know anything about him)
tj warren
Sam dekker
saric (if he can hit outside he will move up)
