Following potential 2014 draftees

In fairness to me..

I didn't just mention Exum.. but specifically said I am particularly watching him during that game... because an int'l scout tipped me off.
I never said anything about Jaiteh Pinkut other than he's on the roster.

No, I wasn't calling you out. It's just Ugli, that picture of Will Farrell and saying 'tbh' at the end of everything... idk man. I feel guilty, but it just cracks me up. I'm ashamed...

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Dat dream shake doe...

I'm serious.

Damn, that is a lofty comp. If that is true, we should just trade Favors for a top five pick and get him and Wiggins/Parker/Randle.

PKM, you can't seriously think Embiid will be as good as Hakeem?

Splain plz.

 

[slc]

Yes please
IMO Hakeem is a top ten all time player

Best center ever.

I'm no longer sold on Andrew Harrison. He was hurt and has only really played 1 game, but I wasn't impressed, at all.

Good thing we've got dat Trey Burke.

OKay.. here ya go.

Embiid has the upside Hakeem. A VERY high floor, as well.
Rather than me get into a detailed player evaluation that includes way too much opinion and forecasting.. I'll gladly just go on the record as saying I think Embiid WILL be THE top defensive center in the league within 5 years and have an astonishing career.

It's not 'today' but will take a little time.. he's only been playing bb for a couple years... watch some vids. His height, reach, length, and athleticism... as well instincts are quite remarkable considering his noobness.

So if he's BPA when Jazz pick what would you do?
Who is expendable?
Kanter, Favors, Gobert?

Great question. Gobert is redundant but hasn't yet reached his height of trade-ability.
Kanter is who I would pair with Embiid because we need a scoring PF.. but I'm not crazy about Kanter's ability to guard most PF's..
Favors would be interesting from a defensive standpoint, but we're lacking too much offensive output.

I may scrap them all .. tbh.
