Rusillo, three scouts, and Embiid, Parker, Wiggins and Randle

Also.... could someone look up the ppg averages of randle, gordon, smart, embiid, parker, vonleh, and wiggins?

I would like to know if the passive, shy, scared teddy bear averaged alot less points per game than all of those ferocious tigers

Per 40

Joel Embiid - 19.4 PPG

Jabari Parker - 25 PPG

Andrew Wiggins - 20.8 PPG

Aaron Gordon - 15.8 PPG

Marcus Smart - 22 PPG

Julius Randle - 19.4 PPG

Noah Vonleh - 17 PPG

Doug McDermott - 31.6 PPG

In the context of his peers, wiggins aggressiveness/assertiveness for scoring looks to be just fine.

Durant, curry, harden, and mellow are some of the best pure scorers of this generation so im not surprised by those numbers.
Did harden and curry play thier sophmore years in college?

Lol at the people who say Marcus Smart can't score.

Harden played through his sophomore year and Curry through his junior year.

The first two all stars from this draft will be Parker and Smart

those guys (along with randle) are the most polished/ready to play now so i would agree with you

Especially if those two end up in the east.

scout 2 is an idiot. embiid is not a true 7fter. hakeem was 6ft 10. so real difference between young hakeem and embiid is probably an inch at best.

anyway, health is a legitimate concern. just look at the 7fters around the league - bynum, oden, lopez, and bogut. it's a huge gamble.

wiggins - his lack of aggression is a huge concern. you want your #1 pick to be a ferocious tiger not a teddy bear. temperament is important in this league.

lol.

Joel Embiid's measurements at the workout on Fri: 7' 1" in shoes, 7' 5.75" wingspan, 9' 5.5" standing reach.

I love Grantland. I couldn't agree more. This draft is overrated. If we can't get Embiid we might be fortunate to be drafting 5th. Randle, Smart, Gordon, and Vonleh all might end up being very good players and without the high expectations of Parker and Wiggins.

maybe he showed up with bron X, that would easily give a size 17+ shoe a 2 inch lift. or maybe he even inserted dr. scholls which would give him another 1/2 inch lift. i never believe what scouts or any private workout say about player's height. great 7ft 1, isiah austin was measured at 6ft 11 1/2. is embiid taller than austin? i don't know. maybe or maybe not.

bottom line, the article is trying to make embiid 3 inch taller than hakeem. that's far from the truth. i have embiid anywhere between 6ft 10 3/4 to 6ft 11 1/2. i have young hakeem 6ft 10 flat. difference isn't that much.

maybe he showed up with bron X with dr. scholl insoles. that would easily give a size 16+ shoe a 2 1/4 inch lift minimum. i never believe what scouts or any private workout say about player's height.
