Following potential 2014 draftees

Rep-Bet:
Parker won't be AllStar in his rookie year, which is basically what you're claiming.

If he is in the east, he will be. If he is in the West, maybe not.

I'll take that bet.

Also, I'll say that Parker is ROY.
 
If level 10 is top 50 player of all time (LeBron, Jordan, Shaq), level 9 is 10+ All Star (Pierce, Garnett, Malone), level 8 is 5-7 time All Star, level 7 is 3-5 time All Star, level 6 is 1-3 time all star, level 5 is borderline all star, possible 1 time All star (Millsap).

I think Parker's ceiling is level 9 and comes into the NBA at a level 8.
Wiggins ceiling is 10 comes in at a level 5.
I'd put Embiid's ceiling at level at 10 comes in at level 5.

Parker is the safe bet, but you probably need one other piece to win titles. Embiid and Wiggins are bigger risks, but if they pan out, they can win you a title single handily.

lol, no.

Nobody can win a title single-handily. Jordan needed Pippin. Shaq needed Kobe. Lebron needed Wade.
 
I heard Sixers CEO O'Neal on Philly talk radio. He said that the Sixers top 3 is the same as the consensus. Sorry, no Randle
 
Chunky, non-defense, Parker is a guaranteed 5-7 time all-star.

Defense hasn't kept most All-Stars from being All-Stars.

Parker will be an All-Star at least 5 times. If he goes to a big market (Philly, LA, Boston) he will be an All Star at least 10 times.

If there is one thing we've learned over the years is that NBA front office types always tell the truth leading up to the draft.

That's kind of what I meant. Parker comes in ready to play and score. That makes Utah a better team from Day 1. Embiid is more raw, he improves fast, but not as much impact from Day 1. Therefore Jazz finish with a worse record and get a better pick in 2015.

Yeah I was just irritated because you wrote: improve slowly.

I think a healthy Embiid will be 8PPG 7RPG 1.5BPG 4FPG as a rookie and avg a solid double double in his 2nd year and his 4th he'll be a 20-10 threat. That's how fast I think he'll improve.

Well... you asked what I disagree with. If you actually thought that I don't think you'd have him third on your big board.

If Philly loves Randle, could you move Burks to move up?

Philly can let Young walk, and start this team:

MCW
Burks
FA
Randle
Noel

not too bad

I have him third because I'm terrified of drafting Oden or Bowie. Give me Durrant or Jordan and I'll take the risk that Embiid turns into Hakeem.
