Following potential 2014 draftees

If you're looking for a shooter than Jabari's your guy.

Don't disagree however, I was talking about the GS pick. Jazz need more than one shooter.

I'm loving Embiid.

All of a sudden the 4th pick not looking all that bad.

Andrew won't fall that far. This team is starting 5 freshman and Cal's PGs always have a very steep learning curve and start slow. All of them... and none have ever had to start with an all-frosh team.

I'm not certain what Andrew is or isn't yet (as for projecting) but I am certain his best days of the season are ahead.
Young is who I'm watching.. not sure what his draft stock will do, but I'm seeing a top8/9 player right now... thankfully somewhat hidden by having to share the ball a lot.

I love Andrews potential. Part of me wants the jazz to draft Embiid and trade Kanter and gs to get Harrison. Embiid and Favors front line would be scary good and unfair to the rest of the league. I'm not sold on Burke as our starting pg. love Andrews size and potential.

Harrison
Burks
Hayward
Favors
Embiid

That looks like a scary good lineup in a couple years. Thoughts...

At the same time though. Remember I said part of me wants to trade Kanter, not all of me

maybe he will fall to the GSW pick

I'd sell my soul if this could happen.

Good Sir, I must respectfully disagree. I would much rather have a sure thing such as Parker or Randle than Imbiid. Plus, I think eventually Kanter and Favors could get to the point where they would be good together. I would however be fine with trading any asset we have except for Favors and maybe Hayward if it meant we could get another top 6 or 7 pick.

Don't call me good sir!! I'm not your good sir. I can see Embiid play himself into the top three or four discussion.

Also.. TJF said "suddenly the fourth pick not looking so bad." I never saw where he said Embiid was a better pick than Parker. C'mon, Batman, get your head out of your bat cave.

Big men always move up come draft day. I think this reality is good for the Jazz chances at moving up to get another nice wing/pg piece. I get where Batman is coming from, I want a top 3 soooooooo badly I might cry if we don't get one.

You got a thick skin my man, but that's cool. You make a valid point, but personally I just can't see Embiid getting into the top 3 discussion. I'm thinking the top 2 tiers are pretty distinct and I can't see Imbiid getting into that first tier, but of course i could be wrong.

First Tier:
Parker
Randle
Wiggins

Second Tier:
Embiid
Smart
Exum

of course, Exum could very easily be in that top tier. I think it depends on who you ask. But if we are talking about being the #1 pick, I think it is a 3 way battle between Wiggins, Parker and Randle. I Think these guys in the 2nd tier could be a number #1 pick but they are big time long shots, and thus, by default, less likely to be in the top 3 than Randle, Parker, and Wiggins.

I was just commenting on when he said part of him wants to draft Embiid and pair him with Favors. my inclination is that Wiggins, Parker or Randle could be considered 100% go get em's

Good hell!! Where did I say I'd take Embiid over any one of those three?

Let me say this in a way even you would understand!

I. View. Embiid. As. The. 4th. Best. Player. In. The. Draft.....

Part of me hopes Embiid stays at Kansas and works on his game. He'd probably be the top pick in 15. The nba just lacks great centers in the league.

This is of course assuming we land a top three pick, but I deffinetly take him with the 4th pick, unless things really pick up for Andrew Harrison, then I'd have a hard time choosing.

Forgive me for the misunderstanding. When i read the initial post, I missed the part under the video that said "suddenly the 4th pick is not looking so bad" which, when prefacing your latter comments with it, adds elucidation regarding your statement that part of you wants to draft Embiid. I hear you.

I am surprised at your settled position regarding Embiid as the 4th best prospect, solely because of Exum. The Hype is great regarding that one (Exum) and would lead me to believe he's going to be a stud. Can certainly understand why you would prefer him over Smart though.

Good sir, I must respectfully disagree. Embiid is not, in my view, the best player in the draft.
