Following potential 2014 draftees

[orangello]

I would probably only do the trade if wiggins was there at #2.
If not then i keep favors and trey and grab best available at 3.

I think wiggins is the only player that i would trade burke and favors for in this draft

Wiggins is my #1 but if Utah could get Parker and Exum in the deal then I'd make that trade. TBH, Favors has been disappointing this year. I keep telling myself that it is Corbin but then doubt starts to creep in.

 

[orangello]

Would be fine with Wiggins + Embiid, as well as Parker + Embiid. Wiggins + Parker would be fine as well and Exum + Parker would be intriguing as well. So yes I'd fly over to SLC myself to drive Burke and Favors to the airport for such an offer.

Yep.

Good call.

Wouldn't we just give Aminu an offer instead?

Aminu is a bit different then Vonleh hes 30lbs lighter and his shooting mechanics are worse but he jumps higher, passes much better and hes got quick hands as a perimeter defender, hes more of a 3.

I want this guy

Wiggins' strides are a full foot longer than Kevin Durant's.

Let that sink in.

Dunk with only two steps from the three point line...drrroooollll, me want him.

Wiggins' strides are a full foot longer than Kevin Durant's.

Let that sink in.

That "science" is pretty vague. Does 1 foot longer than Durant's strides mean on average? Because I'm fairly certain anyone can alter the length of their strides. I understand the value of being able to take 1 dribble from the 3 point line to the basket, but in general, smaller strides lets the player change direction more effectively and allows them to "jump up rather than out" as my coach always said.

That being said, gotta get Wiggins.

Dont forget about hayward and neto.

While we still lack a small forward or depth in our bigs rotation.

Great, then we have burke, neto, burks, hayward, smart, stauskas, and garrett at the 1 and 2.

Hayward can play SF...

Isn't that what we've all been begging for when we say we want to see this lineup more?

Burke
Burks
Hayward
Kanter
Favors

Hayward is fine at SF.

I wish I could get excited for Wiggins like everyone else. It bugs me how weak he finishes in traffic. Doesn't anyone else see this as a huge red flag?

I agree but until a coach agrees i will continue to covet gordon, and vonleh more than smart.

He just turned 19 so no im not worried. I think he will gain some weight as well as improve in all aspects of his game once in the nba a few years

I definitely see him putting on 20 lbs. That'll help a lot.

But I get what you mean. However, they show in the sports science video instances of him contorting his body to finish in traffic. I think he's better at finishing in traffic than you're giving him credit for, and he'll get better at it with added strength.
