Following potential 2014 draftees

obviously you are not watching his game carefully enough. if favors has randle's post game, favors would turn into 26/12 monster. randle is a classic PF who can play down low. something many teams will value over a step back over lazy defender.

modern day Zebo.

Randle will have to make a pretty big skill jump to ever to get Zebo's level. He plays bully ball against smaller college players. Not sure he has the offensive IQ of a Zebo in terms of how to use his body down low against bigger players.

Not saying it's impossible, cuz obviously he is still young. Just don't like him as a top 5, and would rather take the higher potential Gordon.
 
Wiggins nearly had a 5x5 in college basketball. Would be interesting to see a list of players who have actually done that in Division 1 history.
 
How can you be more impressed w/ Randle today when his team lost by 20 points and he played an average game? He commands double teams because when you play UK you have 2 free defenders because you don't have to guard the Harrison twins.

he sucked early, but he got his mojo back and put on a great run. and when he got the ball he dominated. I was impressed with 4 things he did.

1. He didn't fumble the ball while 3 guys were all over him.
2. his spin move is fast. i mean super fast.
3, and he pack that natural power. torque. something you can't teach. nice bun buns, and upper body strength. and have a very good body control.
4. drew double team everytime he touched the ball.


let's put it this way. Wiggins had the better overall game. but randle impressed me more.


i really am curious how he will move if he naturally gains 15lb over the years.

my only down side is that i suspect he will get measured around 6ft 7 3/4 ish. and i doubt he has crazy hops. probably around 33 inch. i hope i'm wrong because i like this kid's game.

lol waht?
 
Smart was a man today. I'm happy to see his stock rebound a bit these last few weeks.

I can honestly say I'd be happy with any of the top 7 prospects. I think there's a clear cut top 3 (Embiid/Wiggins, Parker) but 4-7 would all make me happy.

We just need to do our job and lose. We have a big opportunity tonight.
 
So if the Jazz miraculously get the #1 pick, who does everyone want? I know the consensus seems to be Parker, but I'd rather have Wiggins, though I'd be ecstatic with either. I definitely get the arguments for Parker, but for once I'd love to see the Jazz swing for the fences for an elite level of potential.

Wiggins
 
I've had Wiggins #1 on all season. You bandwagoners can come aboard if you'd like doe. Come to the light.

Been ridin shotgun all year
