Blindly demoting him

Exum is a guy I know absolutely nothing about tho so I can't disagree. Not really concerned with where he is picked unless the Jazz get him. Seems like he'll be an unknown all the way until the draft

I don't know how much of a sense of whether these players will declare or not, but if you do, which players are most likely to stay in college next year, and which will leave?

Do you think the Harrison's will play another year at Kentucky, how about WCS? I think a lot of these players in the 15-25 range might opt to play another year, as well as 2-3 in the top 15. Just look at how many stayed another last year knowing that this year was going to have a much deeper draft (WCS, McGary, Austin, Smart, I'm sure there are others that were possible lottery picks that opted to stay).

It boggles me how some of you with normally good taste are blindly promoting Exum.

When it comes to Exum, there's not much any of us can do but take the words of scouts. I've watched scouting reports on him, some highlights, one full game, and I don't really see a "superstar", but scouts seem to, so I'm just going to trust them to an extent...for now, at least.

Wow, we think very similarly. Kinda freaky tbh

Only problem is I've never seen Gordon, Lavine, Hood play, and I've never even heard of this Walker guy until now.

I like McDermott better than most, but seventeen is probably high enough. I don't think I like young as much as you do, maybe drop him down a couple.

After watching Vonleh yesterday I'm really enamored with this guy. Could be a freaking animal.

I was only able to watch a few minutes. What stood out about him to you?

I think it says something that PKM would take Exum over his Kentucky boy Randle (even if it's only by a tiny bit).
 
Franklin does have a point. I never trust what scouts say about some of these unknown players. Scouts are usually wrong, and sometimes it's not even close. I don't have an opinion on him as of now, but I'm sure I'll form one as the draft gets around the corner. Hell I trust PKM more then I trust most of these scouts, so I will keep Exum.

Huh? If you trust PKM, then you trust the scouts since a great deal of what he says isn't necessarily his opinion, it's the opinion of the scouts he talks to.

In fairness to me, I was 'promoting' him before he was ever on any mock draft or being mentioned anywhere at all. How/why? Because I had several scouts gush about him that had seen him play and scouted him in person. Whereas I don't have much to go on personally, I am riding the coattails of scouts employed to know this stuff by NBA teams. Might they be wrong? Of course they could.. but it's not completely 'blind.'
