Following potential 2014 draftees

If Exum is there at #5 you take him and never look back.

I hate the thought of taking Exum at 5, but taking Exum at 5 >>>>> trading the 5 and Burks for Parker.

So Embiid goes top 2, Parker slips to 3 or 4, depending on what Philly prefers. Jazz will end up with one out of Parker, Exum and Vonleh.

If they have a strong preference for Parker, they'll put a deal on the table with #5 + Alec Burks to move up to #3.

Why not #5, #23, and GSW 2017 1st-round pick for #3?

Exum has the most potential to become a star other than the top-3 in this draft. At #5 if you can get the 4th best player who has star potential, you do it.

And why I think he may be available at #5.

I think your scenario can happen. We have a couple chances Orlando takes Vonleh or Smart over Exum or Philadelphia likes Randle enough to trade down to #5 to get him.

I so wish we had a shot at Embiid.

He's a true game changer.

The better Smart does in these workouts the better our chances are of grabbing Exum......

That dont make SJF feel any better (he doesnt like exum at all)

Although Bill Simmons may have just scared me into being thrilled with Exum at 5.

Sort of like how i'd be thrilled with a POS coach like Gentry if it means we avoid Boylen.

Basically, all Simmons had to do was float the idea of Burks + 5 for Jabari, and I'll be happy with any of the consensus top 10 at #5 if we can avoid that nightmare scenario.

I'd do that no questions asked. I think Philly would seriously consider it if they wanted Vonleh or Randle.

If you have a chance to draft an All Star like Parker, you don't pass on it to play roulette with 3 other picks.

I just said this in another thread, but I don't think the Jazz will be successful in trading for Parker. He's the safest pick in the top 3, and no GM sitting there is going to take the risk of passing on Jabari Parker for Vonleh or Exum. There's just no reason to do it, unless you need to win now and some team is offering you a 5x All Star.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

The Jazz will make their efforts and do their contingency planning, but when it's said and done, I think they're keeping their pick at #5 and taking Vonleh, Exum or Randle. There's a slim chance they trade back a spot or 2 for Gordon or Smart.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

As much as everyone's talking themselves into Vonleh right about now, Randle plays a full gear or two faster than Vonleh. There aren't that many players as big and quick as Randle is.

How many PFs can really do this...
