Following potential 2014 draftees

and yeah, Embiid looked awesome in that workout, they said he was bent into a pretzel stretching beforehand and he didn't seem bothered by the back whatsoever, I hope the posters who had Embiid less than 2nd on their boards checked that out.

I was kind of thinking maybe the Bucks would balk on Embiid because his agent wont release his Medical Info to them, but not after that workout, im not 100% sold Wiggins isnt the pick though, im 95% sure they go 1 and 2 though.

there was some rumblings the incumbent management for the Bucks wanted to rebuild with Exum at #2

Same. They have way more two way potential than anyone else in the draft.

Sometimes "potential" bites you in the ***. Do you think Atlanta regrets taking the wrong Williams instead of Deron or CP3 in 2005? How about Minnesota taking Derrick Williams at #2 in 2011?

Of course people don't always live up to their potential. What's your point? Embiid/Wiggins are more than just potential.
 
how about Nikoloz Tskitishvili over Amare Stoudemire... LOL, theres so many horrible picks.

its funny how the process lies, you feel like you get to know the players better throughout the year and leading up to the draft, there seems to be safely defined ranges and then Boom all of a sudden Anthony Bennett goes #1 and everyones scratching their heads in unison.

at the end of the day theres just too many factors to totally account for the transition into the NBA, any player can bust for any number of reasons. for NBA teams its kinda like walking thru a minefield, Im not into drama at all but i love the drama of the draft, everyone finally brings their chips to the table. im sure we will see a ****load of trades this year

Before Cleveland hit the first pick, they were trying to sell their fanbase on a big trade coming this summer to shake things up, i still think they make a move. Philly has too many picks not to be involved in at least one trade, and based on the activity in last years draft alone im expecting movement from the Jazz. The Lakers being 2 spots behind us makes the pick even more pivotal, if they get the Paul George to our Hayward, it will be even worse than the original gaffe.

I think it would be more likely that the 76ers trade down to 5 to draft Vonleh, then they get some more assets from us and we get Jabari.

I agree but that was not my point. I don't want to predict trades. this was based on team needs vs who is available. the reason I don't see Philly taking Parker is they are not ready to win now. vonleh needs some development time. there is a video of him hitting a turn around left hook and perfectly banking it off the back board. that was Tim duncnesque

I thought about exum but wiggins IMO is a better corner stone player. we also don't know what kind of conversations the bucks are having for sanders.
