Pick who you think will be the top four players from this yrs draft

[green]

What are the differences between Exum and Wiggins? What little investigating I've done, they seem to be the same player to me.

Wiggins is a Shooting guard that maybe can play small forward, Exum is a combo guard. Wiggins is 6'8" 205 and Exum is 6'6" 180.

And no, Hotkkk, I don't think Wiggins is a small forward. He is less of a small forward than Hayward.

Not to siderail this conversation but I really think that kid from AZ needs to be in the conversation. He's a beast.

So, if the only difference is one is a SG and one is a SF, then I think I want Exum, due to his willingness to take things over. Hasn't a big crack on Wiggins been his "fire"? If they are the same player, with the same potential, then I want the kid with the "fire".

Yes the crack on wiggins has been his fire and it is valid.

As far as them being the same player...... wiggins looks to be alot taller and much longer.... exum is not even close to wiggins in jumping ability

 

[Coach Ellis]

1. Andrew Wiggins
2. Jabari Parker
3. Joel Embiid
4. Dante Exum

I'd prefer an elite athlete or scorer to go with the Core5 guys. Also, I wouldn't complain too much about landing Julius Randle, Marcus Smart or Aaron Gordon. If the Core5 keeps playing like they have AND can learn how to play together, one of those three listed could be a BEAST coming off the bench for a few seasons.

What fairy land do they invent this stuff in? Exum is the most laxativical high school player you'll ever see.

1. Andrew Wiggins. Just a young pup right now. Gonna grow up to be a beast.

2. Jabar Parker. Underated defender. Gonna beast

3. Joel Embiid. Looks pretty good. Not sure I buy into the Hakeem comparison hype. Thats a pretty lofty expectation .. Tons of potential though.

4. Julius Randle. Not sure his style will dominate the NBA but he is only a freshman. Man child.


Honorable mentions.

5. Marcus Smart

6. Aaron Gordon...... Seems destined for the Jazz. I can feel it

Laziness is next to Godliness.

Thank you, thank you

1. Wiggins - Once this dude hones his skills he'll be unstoppable. Quickest 6'8'' dude I've ever seen and he's got some Durantulesque arms.
2. Embiid - This dude is really long, fast, and appears to be pretty freaking intelligent. Lethal combination.
3. Parker - He. Can. Score. Very. Well.
4. Exum - Never seen him play. That word of mouth taking him into the top 4. I claim no responsibility for his positioning.

The thing that I like about Wiggins, Embiid and Exum is that their length and athleticism should allow them to develop into great defenders. If they develop offensive skills, then they'll be pretty damn valuable.

Parker, Randle and Smart all seem to be more offensive players than defensive ones, and I don't know if they'll have the athleticism to really become elite defenders.

The plain and simple fact is that ANY of them would have been the first overall pick last year. The fact that the Jazz came away with one of the top players in a crappy draft (and Burke might end up being the best player out of the 2013 draft) AND then get a guy like the six previously mentioned is pretty good for a team that's finally starting to show some of its potential. Things look good and should keep getting better.
