Following potential 2014 draftees

I think I feel the same that pretty much everyone else does.. that Embiid has the higher ceiling, but Davis is already the real deal badass.
If Davis were in this draft I'd take him before Embiid, because he's a clear #1 pick... even knowing Embiid's ceiling is higher.

Hmmmmmmmm
 
How about Wilson Chandler, Rudy Gay, Igudala, Batum, Pierce, Jeff Green, I'll even throw Hayward in the mix too.

You speak about your list defending KD and LBJ? Or Marcus Smart defending the guys on your list?
I also think that Adetokunbo may be the only guy in the NBA who has a shot at REALLY defending Durant in the future. I'm serious.

How do you think Brow and Gobert could fair in that department?

Of course at the rim they can alter his shots. But how many times does he drive to the rim? His shot distribution looks a lot like Dirk's. He's simply too tall, too fast and too mobile. 1 fancy dribble and body fake to get to his sweet spot and he pulls up. Many 3s are simply too short in general to defend him at all.

yup. Durant is too sick with the handles. He'd blow by them if they crowded him, or he'd shoot over top if they gave him space. I think those two would do much better than most people though. It would suck to not have them around the rim, however.

With AD you may be right, but Gobert -> 1 crossover and he's gone.
