'14 Draft Thread pt 2: vote again? VOTE AGAIN.

[breakchains]

You think he got hyped as a top pick from playing Australian high school basketball. There just isn't a facepalm big enough for this post.

Look, it may have been hyperbole, but he isn't playing against the competition and specifically size and athleticism that the other freshmen of this class are. I know you love him, and I would be excited to get him, but there's no way I could justify taking him over Embiid.

I don't love him I've just called out your ridiculous statement and you're being a tit about it. Maybe do some research.

I have probably watched as much of him as you have. The difference is, I'm objective, Aussie Buck.

Aussiebuck was being very objective in pointing out that your statement was ridiculous.

Objectively ignorant? Do you even know my opinion on Exum?

Which part? Because I said 6'0 Aussies? Everyone knows he's being considered highly leading up to and after the Nike Summit. And then this past summer playing U19. You guys are both clowns for even taking this discussion there. Sorry Aussie Buck for dissing your countrymen. Now get back to discussing prospects.

Parker looked pretty bad on both ends today. Not surprising that he hung out on the perimeter the entire game against VA's D, but his D was really poor as well. He looked pretty lost on multiple P n Rs. I'm not sure how he projects to impact the game at the pro level outside of scoring.

It's still early, but I'll be really surprised come June if Wiggins/Embiid aren't the top 2 taken.

[steger_3434]

Wiggins has looked bad the last 5 games but part of that is because he was so so great before that. Honestly he's basically looked like wiggins lately on the offensive end of the floor.

[steger_3434]

Omg that rebound put back by embiid was totally Hakeem!!!

[Wooderson]

Well Wiggins supposedly stepped up his game in HS during big matchups. So far he's delivering. Embiid has handled the quick doubles pretty well so far.

I just don't know how anyone could feel good taking him top 3 after this stretch of games. His only real strength is supposed to be scoring and he's putting up 10 a game. He looks fat and slow...hes settling for jumpers...what happens when he's facing NBA level defenders? And its assumed by most that he'll be a liability on defense.

I'll change my tune if he starts putting up 20 again but Melo he is not. Not even close.

It wouldn't hurt if Parker cut up a bit. He looks "melo soft" right now.

And there's 0% chance LaVine drops to the 2nd round. I'll cut off my nuts and eat them if he does. He's lottery bound, if he declares.

[breakchains]

Embiid has the Larry Sanders anger down pat

[steger_3434]

Damn, I might be switching my vote to wiggins now

His reliance on scoring to impact the game always deterred me a bit. I do think he'll be a good scorer in the NBA though. He has a good handle for someone his size and I think eventually he'll use it more effectively when he improves his jumper and develops a post-game. But relative to Wiggns/Embiid, who I think project to be great all-around players, he doesn't hold-up.

[breakchains]

It will take Wiggins longer, possibly significantly longer, to make an impact in the NBA than Embiid IMO.

I just did. The whole mission this scares me. Even if he doesn't go right away, he could retire at a young age and go on it then.

I'm Wiggins now, then Embiid.

[cinematographer]

Selden's a real nice player.

[randy84]

Embiid is a great passer out of the double team for such a young guy.

Perry Ellis really makes me mad. I hate his game.
