Following potential 2014 draftees

Guys.. we've always thought that all these players will declare for the '14 draft.

My question is: What are the chances some of these guys stay for more than 1 year in college?

Guys that I think could stay back for 1 more year:

- Jabari Parker: He just seems a bit 'different' to everyone else... by going to Duke, by saying things like "I'm not ready to play in the NBA"

- Andrew Wiggins: Who knows what he's gonna do?

- Exum: Still lots of question marks around him

- Aaron Gordon: If he waited 1 more year, he could probably go #1 in '15 draft?

Anyone else???

Karl Towns and Jahlil Okafor say no.

No way Wiggins doesn't come out. You could make a case for Jabari, and especially Exum, but I'd bet the house on Wiggins coming out.

My point is, is there any possibility that it won't be as LOADED as we all think it would be?

Good point... but there's so much hype coming into this draft.

If I was a 1st round player, I might think about declaring just to be included in this "special" draft that will "go down in history"

What's the point of that again??? Also would you still do it if you have to leave $2-3million on the table?
 
couple thoughts

randle watching some videos of him he can definatly play the 3 at the next level, depending on the match ups. I would love to see him and labron go head to head. I don't see a ton of back to the basket play but his face the basket ability is insane. Chris weber with more athletism is a good comparison.

Jabari would be insane not to come out. I know what is being said but like wiffspree said for him and players like him, top 20 they are going to want to be part of something special.

exum I am a little worried about. great talent but he doesn't play above the rim as much as I would like. he is a classic tweener luckily he has enough height to be a 2 but I don't think he has the mental make up to be an effective full time pg.

James young is going to be interesting because he has a killer shot. if he can learn to attack the rim also he is going to be good.

I am still liking vonleh. if he can get a killer instinct he will be special. game reminds me a lot of kg.

great first mock also pkm
 
Guys will come into the league when they think they're ready and when GMs are ready to draft them high.

Yes, a few could stay in school another year (obviously).

I agree with most of this assessment, except Vonleh. I don't see the KG comparison. He's just not as quick and explosive as KG. What I see is a guy who plays at his own speed, with the feel of a slightly bigger and longer version of Harrison Barnes. I think he's a combo forward, but think he can play SF regularly.
 
If Jabari doesn't come out, then there's a pretty decent chance he'd be playing with Jahlil Okafor and Tyus Jones the next year. That'd be a hell of a team.


/It won't happen, but I can dream.
