I think if I had to pick today, I'd go Parker at 2.

He had to be escorted out there at the end too. He was justing making it worse.

Those dudes better all declare. I would absolutely have taken any of them as our draft pick at the start of the season (not that I knew who Embiid was!!!)

That's the problem. The unknown with him. We've all beaten up these other five guys over the last three months and still have another six-weeks of competition. I think anyone who says "Exum rules" or "Exum is a bum" is doing so from a very limited knowledge base.

There is A LOT more video of Exum's games than there was of Giannis predraft

Yeah, but Giannis went 15 in a weak draft. Here, some are talking taking Exum as high as #1, and many saying #2-3. That would mean that the risk is much higher than there was with Giannis at 15, because you'd be passing on Embiid/Wiggins/Parker in the process.

So for me, the risk/reward calculus on Exum puts him at #4.

Right but I'm also saying the risk isn't as great as it was with Giannis because more is known about Exum's game, but I also agree that he's #4, and with Vonleh at 5 atm. I'd bet Ennis is right there at 5-6 by the end of the tourney too.

You'd think something racial was said to provoke smart to that extreme.

I have long defended Smart on this board, but I simply can't justify him in the Top 4 anymore, especially with him going all Larry Sanders at the end of the game tonight. I still like him as a prospect, but even I would now take Exum above him. (You wore me down Exum lovers! :wink:

)

1a. Joel Embiid
1b. Andrew Wiggins
1c. Jabari Parker
4. Dante Exum
5. Marcus Smart
6. Julius Randle

If I'm a team sitting at #6-10 I am hoping this hurts his draft stock.

It would have to be...I gotta give Smart some benefit of the doubt, but that was my thought as well when I saw it.

Man, I can't believe he did that. I bet that guy said something really **** up.

imho I believe it depends on what that old dude said. the old guy even goes "sorry about that". if it was extremely derogatory (which i believe it is), i think the punishment should be lower; but it doesn't excuse ultimately what he did. It does hurt his stock for sure.

other than that, could you imagine having smart, zaza and sanders together? bahaha, watch out

I heard that the old guy was an Albanian.

He clearly said something pretty bad (most likely racist). Smart was just slowly getting up and then just reacted randomly.

ReddWing · Post #2859 » by **ReddWing** » Sun Feb 9, 2014 5:32 am

Why are we jumping to the racial conclusion? Maybe he called him a b---h. A p---y. A flopper.
