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

The Lakers' pick is the one we got for absorbing Ridnour, btw.

[Thunder Muscle]

Do you think there is any chance Wiggins, Parker, or Embiid don't enter the draft?

0% chance any of them return to school.

But imagine if all 3 did. I'd definitely pull a Thelma & Louis.

Thought about that last night. Hopefully Duke's upcoming recruiting class doesn't sway Jabari to stay. If I had a gun to my head though, I think none of them will even think twice about staying.

Wiggins.

After that I'm a bit torn. I lean Embiid as BPA but I don't think you can have Henson, Sanders or Embiid (or even any two of them) on the floor at the same time so it really depends on what you can get for Henson and Sanders. And Hambone needing to trade both of them scares the crap out of me.

Parker is certainly a comfortable pick at the 2.

I have never seen Exum. At all.

I'd love to get rid of Neal and attempt to sign Bledsoe (or Hayward) to "max" offer sheets. I imagine both would get matched but

Bledsoe
Wiggins
Giannis
Illy/Henson
Sanders

Would be incredible. Let the vets come off the bench and see where you are at in a few years.

[VooDoo7]

Right now, this is my top 7. The top 3 is subject to change right now. I think after the top 7, the talent level drops considerably.

1) Parker

2a) Wiggins
2b) Embiid

4) Exum
5) LaVine
6) Smart
7) Randle

[DanoMac]

There's something about Dante Exum that always makes me think twice when selecting the best from this class. He just has a Magic Johnson esque game to me. You pair that with Giannis, and you're watching not only a team that's good but a team that's entertaining as ****.

[No-Man]

PJ Hairston from UNC would be a great pick if hes still there in the 2nd round, Hes better then Reggie Bullock who I know alot of people liked last year. There are charterer concerns which would be the reason he would fall.

I love PJ and his ceiling is higher, but he has not the floor Bullock has, Bullock at worst is a 3&D guy that will contribute in any team.

I would rank PJ near the top10 in TALENT as a prospect, but he has huge flaws.

[VooDoo7]

Other players id be interested in the begin of the 2nd round:

Jahii Carson PG Arizona State

Carson is a kid I've been paying closer attention to lately. He's definitely on the smaller side (listed 5'11"), but I really like his game. Don't know if he'll fall to the 2nd round tho.

[VooDoo7]

I wanna see what LaVine's vert is. He has some crazy ups.

I would think even if all have mediocre seasons that they'll go top 5, hard to pass that up. But you never know if a kid really likes college ball, has a good team coming back, etc.

And Exum could choose to go to college, correct?

[jr lucosa]

My two favorites are Embiid and Exum.

[Matches Malone]

I think Wiggins and Exum will declare. I could see Jabari staying for another year just because he seems like a guy that knows the NBA will always be there for him. He might even consider going on a mission trip before coming to the NBA. You just never know. I could also see Embiid staying another year just to polish his game. He's only been playing for 3 years, so he might enjoy dominating at the collegiate level right now. If I had to guess though, I say all declare for the draft, but those were just some scenarios.

[ReasonablySober]

Simmons and Jalen discussing the draft, and it's sobering. Simmons thinks some of these kids return to school.

Funny, guess my question not crazy then. For some reason I think Parker is going to stay unless he's a top 2 pick no matter what. But if he has a decent to mediocre season and could potentially fall behind Wiggins, Embiid, Exum...I could see him sticking around.

They have 0 idea what they are talking about, I mean Simmons expend the whole report saying that Embiid is 7'2

They are funny and entertaining, but they are terrible as analysts.

You can put me there and another guy from this forum and we will do way better.

Dont say that. If we got 3rd pick and Parker and Embiid didn't declare i would be very pissed

[PedroGrande]

BTW am I the only one that changes is mind about the top 4 order i would pick almost every week?

[Ron Swanson]

Chris Walker from Florida is an intriguing prospect to me. He was academically ineligible for the first part of the year so there isn't a lot of tape on him.

Uber-athletic 6'10 forward that's projected to go in the late 1st, but I'm thinking if he's there with our 2nd, he'd be a great "low-risk, high upside" guy to target.

[Nebula1]

Only 40 or so days until the deadline which has obvious impact on what the Bucks do. Seems like it could be one of the more active deadlines we've seen in awhile because of the quality of this draft.
