Following potential 2014 draftees

So you envy him?

Wrong kind of whore.
No, I don't envy husbands/fathers that bang a waitress in a restaurant, get her pregnant, bribe her to get an abortion, give his asst coach a raise on public funds through the university to MARRY the chick to keep her quiet... then turn around and hire the best lawyers to wind up having her thrown in prison on some trumped up extortion case. That kind of whore.

Then, every year, whoever he's playing against, becomes the super-hyperbolic 'best ever!' That's fine and all.. but it needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

I thought you were describing a fictitious character when I realized it was Pitino...


My movie idea just keeps getting better and better !!!

There's no bitterness in this post at all. None.

Okay.. I'll bite. Why would I be bitter? I wasn't bitter, at all, when he left UK for Boston.. I said good for him. I thought it was a prick move to come back to Kentucky to coach the bitter rival.. that pissed me off.

What I wrote, though, has nothing to do with any of that.. bitter? No. Think he's got the morals of a cat in heat? Yes.

I didn't know that about Pitino

Just got back from May 2014. Jazz move up to get the 3rd pick. GSW pick nets us #20. Not bad.

I'll take it.

Randle or Parker
TJ Warren / LaQuinton Ross / Aaron Harrison

Ooooh I'd love it if Warren is available at 20. I have a feeling he could move up into the early to mid teens now that he's gonna have the green light. He averaged 12 as the 4th option.

Yes and no... I mean you take Parker for sure. But Randle?????????

We've got Favors & Kanter already. Who do you let go? Let go of Favors and you lose defensive presence inside. Let go of Kanter, uhh... not gonna happen.

Can Kanter & Randle defend enough to be a Championship team?


I'd rather take my chances with Andrew Harrison... a much better fit for our team. Then grab Aaron with the #20....

Andrew Harr.
Aaron Harr.
Hayward
Kanter
Favors

Much better balance. Long term 'grow together' potential. 3 UK alumni meaning hopefully they'll stick together. I can see that as a Conference contender in '16-'17.

It's so early to be talking about this. We don't know how Randle or Harrison will do. We don't even know how Favors and Kanter will do for that matter. Like PKM is always saying, this season is about evaluation. If Favors, Kanter, and Randle ALL look like they're going to live up to expectations, and he's BPA when we're on the clock, then okay...that would be an interesting situation.

I know it's too early, but basing off of my projections of each player, I'm not convince we can win a Chip with Kanter defending the paint. He just not that kind of player.

Unless Gobert really blows up defensively this year and you pair Gobert with Kanter in the starting lineup, and bring Randle off the bench. Or you start Gobert with Randle, Kanter off the bench.

In either situations you're bringing the 3rd lottery pick off the bench which to me is a waste of a pick... I'd rather have them all out there playing.

 

[Dr. Jones]

At that spot you go BPA. Period. Not debatable. Things are subject to change, of course, but most scouts believe Wiggins, Randle, and Parker are CLEARLY the top 3.
