What's new

Following potential 2014 draftees

He is not a 3 and never will be. Good thing is he is superyoung for being freshman so his body will fill out and will be an excellent 4 in the legue. Great at blocking shots. Also Gordon name don't belong with Aminu. That's just clueless


I'm okay with Vonleh and think we might be able to make him an SF like Rashard Lewis early in his career.

So we'd be....

Burke / Garret
Hayward / Burks
Vonleh / Marvin or whatnot
Kanter / Marvin or Evans
Favors / Gobert

We could also bring Kanter off the bench.

My big board looks like this though:

1 Embiid - he's the guy you build around
2 Wiggins - need to see more dribble/drive moves and a first step
3 Parker - guy's just a shooter/scorer from all angles
4 Exum - defense breaker with a will to pass
5 Vonleh - size, defense, rebounding and inside/outside scoring - more perimeter game than Randle right now
6 Randle - still explosive, but needs more mid-range game to set up his drives
7 Smart - I like him as a pro, just think he's redundant with Burke; Smart has to be on the ball
8 Gordon - athletic wing defender and run-out guy, okay, but he could slip more than this if he's just an Aminu redux
 
Where are the idiots that said Wiggins was nothing special?

Yeah, that's right they are in hiding.

i still have my doubts. first i always thought he was a great athlete, but not a transcendent athlete. he is no bron. not even close in terms of pure natural athleticism. i laugh at those who think he is remotely close. and he really was over hyped because he is no consensus #1. he is no 2nd coming. he is no doubt top 3 in this particular draft. i don't see him fall below 3.

but like i said if brow was in this draft, brow would be consensus #1 pick. i would've picked brow over wiggins in a heartbeat. not even think twice about it.

i see that his offense is improving, but i still have to see it more. i need that controlled aggression more and often. i need to see that 'i want to be the best' drive. we are talking about #1 pick here. parker is a safer pick. embiid is a better potential pick. if you wanna be #1 pick, then show me. show me more of that 'holy *****' game and take over in march. then i'll believe. potential to be great is there for sure.

The best freshman against top-25 teams

Interesting to see that Kansas played the top-25 teams eight times already. Pretty tough schedule imo but they are doing great against those teams. Kenucky and Duke on the other hand just played four games against top-25 teams and their records aren't that great.

I really like the fact that Wiggins is playing well against other good teams. Great to see! Jabari has more points but Andrew is way more efficient(FG%, 3P% and FT%). He is also rebounding better. Andrew is rebounding better than Randle too(thats a little bit of a surprise). But it is really disturbing that Embiid has the highest AST number.

The canadian kid is my guy. I want Andrew!
