'14 Draft Thread - Parker Declares. List your top 4

[SupremeHustle]

I'm sure you're not, but who is your 4th guy? Let's say you can't trade it.

Zach LaVine.

Good shooter. Good size for a SG. Athletic as a muggafugga. And my favorite (and the thing that keeps him from being Swaggy P) he can handle, so initiating offense should be a strength eventually. And he just turned 19.

Watching his DX video, his decision making seems pretty horrible right now, but all of his weaknesses should improve with age.

Could also make a case for Fat Harden.

You'd get fired so fast if either of them busted.

Making a pick to save your job is how you end up with Derrick Williams instead of Kawhi Leonard.

[ReasonablySober]

I've said it in the past, but if LaVine isn't mentioned by Ford back in December or early January or whatever it was, he's never prospect, none of us know who he is and LaVine is still at UCLA.

1. Embiid
2. Wiggins
3. Parker
4. Exum
5. Vonleh
6. Smart
7. Randle
8. Adams
9. Warren
10. Nurkic
11. Stauskas
12. Anderson
13. Saric
14. Gordon

Probably where my lottery would be sitting now.

Personally, I don't see how anyone can look at Exum highlights then look at LaVine highlights and not see that LaVine "looks" as good or better.

[bucksbrewers3]

The new owners want to make a splash. They will not take Exum with the first pick. Yes you all here know who he is but the casual fan does not. It will be either Parker wiggins or embiid

LaVine is atrocious at getting into the lane and converting. Like really bad. That's where Exum thrives. I mean it's nice that LaVine has a tight handle, but he really did nothing with it this season.

It's cool, I've been called a Wiggins hater in this thread too .

I don't see any point guard or creating ability in LaVine. To be fair it doesn't mean it isn't there, I just haven't seen it like I have with Exum.

[TroyD92]

I really want to like Lavine...My impression of him is always...meh.

I always forget that you guys think Exum is a PG. I think that's part of the reason I don't see the massive hype. I don't think he's going to be a PG in the NBA, but admittedly that's based off the highlights I've seen. Not any games.

[LUKE23]

Don't think I've ever seen him play but Dinwiddie's numbers to start his junior year were pretty impressive, especially the ones that usually translate. Pace adjusted per 40 he was 18.6 points, 4.8 assists, 1.9 steals, .670 TS. Legit SG size at 6-6 200. Need to watch some tape on him. When is he projected to be back?

[buckboy]

Not if any of the 2-3-4 teams get a top 3 pick.

Yep. You're right.

technically we could know the bucks are picking 4th after the 1st envelope. If Denver was sitting at 14 it would mean Phoenix, wolves and magic (from ny) had all moved up. Now the chances of that happening are about the same as winning the actual power ball lottery. What you really gave to watch for is philly being in the 5 spot or magic at 6. Since that's the worst they can fall if their name is in that spot on lottery night then you will know the bucks are picking 4th before they announce it. Again odds are slim that none of mil philly or Orlando end up top 3 but it could happen.

Right. The only for-sure news we can have is bad.

I didn't think my earlier response through. If no one has move up before the 4th pick is revealed, it could still be us. That was my flawed thinking.

[Zeezprah]

kind of dumb how they wait so long to do the lottery.

they could literally do it the day after the deadline for prospect to declare. don't know why they don't

I *really* like Dinwiddie. The ACL just scares the **** out of me. If he loses a step...

[LUKE23]

Did Semaj Christon go back to school? Don't see him on DX's new mock.

He isn't in their top 60 anymore.

[LUKE23]

That's crazy to me. I think he's early 2nd caliber for sure. Ford has him at #33.

Yeah I really like him as well. Probably around that 25ish area on my board though my gut tells me that I want him even higher then that. DraftExpress has been really down on him for a while, don't think he's been over 40ish in a while.
