Is that kid who came to the us and toured colleges for basketball that also posted here still playing?

Exum is so intriguing. If we pick at 4 and he's there we better take him.

So at pick 4 u would rather take exxum than either randle or smart knowing exxum hasnt played any major competition or havnt been abke to see him play on TV.Would u consider him the biggest risk just because of that

So is Deonte Burton (the Nevada one not Marquette one) Eric Bledsoe 2.0? He has insane athleticism and strength for a guy only 6'1". If he really can play the point, I would love for the Bucks to snatch him up.

I'd scare you then, because I don't see an easy choice between the two.

I'd take Exum over Randle or Smart in a split second

I'm getting aboard the Jabari Parker-at-all-costs train. Rig the lottery. Do whatever you have to do to get this guy, hook or crook. He's going to be better than Carmelo.

Wow. I had completely forgotten about that.

This kid is going to be incredible. I would honestly consider him at 1

I think Randle could be a 20/10 player but with his play style I really have doubts of him being a real building block. I think he'll be a monster in the post but if he can't step out or defend how much is 20 points in the paint really going to help a team?

He looks like Zach Randolph to me, except he has T-Rex arms.

David Lee without a jumpshot?

Every Aussie wants us to take Exum.

Stun.

Stun.

I think we're all torn on it, to be perfectly honest. It would be nice to have an Australian to cheer for on the team again, but I think we have the same level of caution about the ability of management to turn things around. In theory you hope Dante could help turn things around.

Speaking for the pack, but that's my feelings on it.

Randolph's a good comparison but I think even he has a good amount more range right now.

We know what Smart and Randle are. They aren't building blocks. Maybe Exum isn't either, but there's an upside to him the other two don't come close to having.

Carmelo's a good-to-great offensive player undone by stopping the ball and porous defense. If you want to call him a top-30 player, I guess, but he's not even in the George/Harden/Parker/Westbrook... the "Not LeBron, Paul, or Durant" tier of superstars. Criminally overrated, and I look forward to him sinking the payroll of the Lakers or Bulls after this season.

Randle has the highest floor out of all of them. I would argue Exum actually having displayed an ability to run an offense and orchestrate an attack makes him both a better prospect than can't shoot/can't pass Smart and gives him a higher floor.

Who ya got. Vote early, vote often.
