Funny how that impressive motor doesn't translate to any defense at all.

Either he's trying and he sucks at it, or he's not trying, thus, his motor is not impressive.

Good read.

It seems pretty clear to me already that Embiid is going #1.

I'm starting to think Exum will go 1 or 2. The secrecy that surrounds him is almost like he's so good nobody wants to tip anybody off that they want him. The secret that none realizes everyone knows. He might be the most legit #1 offensive player in the draft. He is a 6'5" pg with a supposedly super quick first step, killer instinct, and BB IQ.

Players who are quick, strong and coordinated do well in this league. The PFs that bust are the ones who are slow (like a Patrick O'Bryant), are too small (like Derrick Williams) or who don't have any ball skills (like TRob). Randle is so relentless, he's going to have an impact in this league. It'll take a double-team to stop him most often. He'll get blocked and get called for some offensive fouls, but he'll battle his way to a double-double every night.

To me, he and Vonleh are still neck and neck.

I was the first to pull back on Randle's expectations.. but I do believe his rebounding and getting to the line will translate. From there it's just a matter of improving his deficiencies like anyone else.. but he does have a decent floor because of boards and FT's.
 
Seeing how effective Shaun Livingston looked in the Nets-Heat series makes me think Kyle Anderson could be a solid 30-minute player in the right situation. He could play on or off the ball as a combo-guard or point-forward.
 
As of right now (assuming top-4 go as planned) my big board for the Jazz pick is:

1. Marcus Smart
2. Aaron Gordon
3. Noah Vonleh
4. Julius Randle
5. Dario Saric

Subject to change, would love it of somehow Exum fell to us.
