Following potential 2014 draftees

I totally understand that 19/20 people hate Calipari.. but just sharinh his speech from last night.. like I always say, he's always talking to recruits when he's speaking. Dude is an incredible speaker.

Probably just the national perception of it being a 'clean' program and very strong academically.

What other Mormons did Duke get? Just Chris Burgess and Parker right? Granted, that's probably 2/2 on ones they actually wanted, but they were like 15 years apart so it's not like Duke is going to that well super often. I don't think there is anything there beyond why your average basketball recruit would be interested in Duke that would be more of interest to LDS guys. Though the campus looks one big church to me in pictures.....so maybe that's it.

there have been others but not top recruits just bench players that seldom played.
 
I'm not on board with this (just reserving judgement), but one NBA "director of scouting" said James Young looks like a top5 talent in the next draft.

He said;
Wiggins
Randle
Parker
Exum
Young

I don't have Young in my top5 and I have Parker SLIGHTLY ahead of Randle.. but just thought I'd share

This is GREAT news.


The more guys we have entering the top, the better chances we have at "grabbing" the likes of Parker, Randle, Harrison brothers, etc.
 
Analysis question for you draft gurus. Who has the better complimentary skills between Parker and Wiggins for the group of Favors, Kanter, Covert, Hayward, Burks and Burke? Pros and cons of each for the needs of this team.
