2014 Draft Thread (Early offseason panic edition).

[hands11]

Wiggins
Parker
Embiid
Exum
Randell
Aaron Gordon
Marcus Smart
Noah Vonleh
Gary Harris
Nik Stauskas
McDermott

I think there are going to be some trades.

Cleveland could easily trade the #1
Sac trade #8

ROTY between Parker and Randell. Well depending on Randells foot. Stauskas McDermott will be in the mix with Shabazz if they land where they get minutes.

People will kick themselves they didn't pick Embiid. He still could go #1 depending on trades.
If OKC get Shabazz Napier I'm going to

Randell reminds me a lot of Beal in his interview. He could be once of Beal bigger football brothers.

Is there going to be a draft prediction contest this year? I wouldn't enter (I never do well on them) but Dat, CCJ, Doc, Hands, LyricalRico, etc. all seem to predict pretty well. PIF would probably do pretty well too.

Spencer Dinwiddie looks like a R2 sleeper to me. Am I wrong?

41% on 3pointers (taking a good number, too). 85% from the line (and gets there a lot). Gets a high number of assists for a 2 guard. Terrific size and length. Looks like an NBA player to me....

No, you're not wrong. He's also got a low turnover rate. People aren't excited about him because of the injury and because he looks lanky/weak and not particularly athletic - the "low ceiling" label. But how many unathletic players get to the line as much as he does (actually, Jordan Adams comes to mind), and how many too skinny guards are there that come out of college at 6'6 205? I think we have a near Danny Green situation - though they're different types of players.

Dat's a ringer. I think he's won at least the last 2 years.

You're right. Did everyone else give up? Maybe Dat can run a draft prediction camp.

Actually, that is not true. I don't know about the year before, but last year it was

Rafael122 and Gesa and Myself as the top 3

As for the interest this year. Maybe people didn't review the players as closely because we don't have a pick. I know I didn't. Didn't even watch as many college games to track players as I did last year. But as a WAG, I think the list I put together should be viable.

Noah Vonleh could go a slot or two higher. Depend on who ends up with those picks. I think some top picks will get shuffled around this year.

The CSN article has me hopeful that Deonte Burton might be the pick.

Would be a good pick IMO. Short, but has the wingspan help to make up for it. If he pans out he could be a good replacement for Andre Miller after next season, he doesn't have a 3 point shot, but he can score well and distribute a little.

[Dark Faze]

hard to have any hype about our second rounder when we couldn't even find minutes for GRJ or Porter--two really good prospects.

depressing day

I thought Trevor Releford was a pretty good second round PG prospect...

Not sure I recall ever seeing him on any of DraftExpress or NBADraft.net's mock drafts.

He's a short pudgy looking PG who doesn't pass the eye test, and isn't a pure PG, so he probably won't get drafted. But yeah, if given a fair shot, I think he could make an NBA roster. I also think his brother Travis could play in the NBA.

[gambitx777]

That' same article made me pretty hopeful that we might take Dwight Powell. I love him, I think he could be the steal of the second round ! A much better and less bone headed Andray Blatche.

[Rafael122]

Powell intrigues me...but I just don't know if he'll be able to contribute considering where he might be picked. If he's picked top half of the 2nd round, you're looking at a rotational player, spot starter. At 46? Who knows if he'll even get off the bench

[fishercob]

depressing day

Be honest. When is the last day you weren't depressed? Snowmageddon?

[Ruzious]

Forget the tiny chance that McGary could slide to the Wiz. The Bucks reportedly gave him a guarantee that if he's there on the 1st pick of the 2nd round, they'll pick him.

It does not matter if he get's taken at 46 or not, it's how he plays, if he plays well he will get time. We have a big need to keep nene's minutes down, if he can handle being on the floor, they will put him on the floor.

[truwizfan4evr]

Will Ernie keep the 46 pick? Having Ernie as a gm is so depressing.

[gambitx777]

I hope he take some one with it.... It's starting to feel like 2009 all over again......urgh
