Not saying that's a championship formula, but it would be fun to watch.

Add Elfrid Payton at point guard and that team would be as exciting as they come.

Fixed.

I guess I don't see Exum as having elite athleticism for either a PG or SG. He'll be taller than other PGs, but I think his run-jump athleticism is oversold. His game, body, athleticism look just like Devin Harris to me. A 3 inch taller Devin Harris may be a great player. I don't know.

We need to find a way to get Stauskas.

Jabari has more in common with Grant Hill than Wiggins does

I'd say there is pretty much zero chance Exum goes #1, Cleveland is doing to their due diligence in case of a trade down.

Correct. Glad you agree.

Zach LaVine is not a point guard.

Have you ever seen him play point guard? Just because Steve Alford didn't use him there doesn't mean he's not a point guard.

Guys, we know that we are staying pat and taking either wiggins or parker

LedZepp007 · Post #311 » by **LedZepp007** » Sat Jun 21, 2014 9:18 pm

So, why are we even talking about Exum at this point, unless we can get another pick in the top 5?

Nothing against Exum, but in my mind he's the third best player in the draft now. I don't want to pass on someone better just so we can get something out of Philly.

Sorry but getting possible 2-3 lottery picks in exchange for the #2 pick seems like a great idea.

Also, Zach LaVine is not a guy you want to draft.

I've seen him with the ball in his hands and asked to make the right decision. And he can't. The only thing he can do that you would like from your point guard is dribble a ball. Even that's misleading considering he can't create for himself or others while dribbling a ball.

Lavine comes off as guy who should focus on improving his ability to move without the ball. He should be exciting in the open court.

Harris was elite-level quick when he entered the league. His speed was a decisive factor in the series against Miami when Dallas took the chip.

Yeah. I guess I remember Harris running away from more NBA players than I've seen (albeit in limited highlights) Exum run away from high school kids.

So glad it's down to these two. Been on Wiggins all along but will be okay with either pick and anything that is not Embiid

This. I think I have him 6th on my board... And could be talked into taking him over Exum.

I really like Stauskas, but someone here correctly pointed out that we could get a guy just as good at 31 in Bogdan Bogdanovic.

Parker or Wiggins?
