2014 Draft Prospects Thread

[Devilzsidewalk]

SG crop is hard for me to figure out. I think I actually like Dinwiddie and Adams more than Harris and Stauskas.

[Klomp]

I think Payne and Harris would be towards the bottom of the "box" of prospects Flip has talked about.

I still think that someone we're sleeping on is Elfrid Payton. Dude is going to be special.

Adams did not have one dunk last year. I find that stat simply amazing.

Draftexpress just updated their mock.

They've finally gotten with the program and put Gordon at 6. Smart is falling to 8.

Even more reason to trade for 6 and then combine assets to get either 7 or 8.

Smart at 8 is a steal.

--Flip was asked about how important character was when drafting. During his answer Saunders offered this nugget about something he calls an S-box regarding players the team won’t draft. “It’s a box I call an S-box,” he said. “I put players in there and that means no matter what we’re not touching those guys. We’ve got a few guys in that box. As we brought the 60 guys in to work out, I told them you don’t want to get into that box, because it’ll hurt you a little bit.’’

Neither did the entire Lynx team, AND ALL THEY DID WAS WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Checkmate.

I could do without that kind of attitude when probably 80% of NBA players have the Wolves franchise in their S-box.

So was Ben McLemore at 7...allegedly

Dinwiddie would be a steal at 40. Hope he's still on the board.

Jeez, Matlock. For a simple country lawyer, you're really getting fussy today.

Did you know he was in the sequel to Roots?

basically says the #13 pick is awesome and for God's sake, don't trade Kevin Love for Boston's #6

I actually have heard of Roots: The Next Generations, but I haven't seen it. I actually find it just as crazy that James Earl Jones, Pam Grier, and Marlon Brando(!) are in it.

A guy no one has been talking about at 13

I was interested in him early in the process, but, for whatever reason, haven't thought about him in a long time.

If his defense is getting good reviews, thats big news for me because Warren is one of the best pure scorers in this entire draft class, and he is EXCELLENT working off the ball in cutting and screening. He's struggled from long range at times, but don't expect to get the perfect prospect at 13.

[Krapinsky]

The Timberwolves front office has reportedly fallen hard for the spectacular athleticism of UCLA's freshman, and sees him as a likely star in the making. Look for the Timberwolves to go into next season with mostly the same roster as last year and try and convince Kevin Love to stay in Minnesota with a playoff run.

Honestly, I agree.

People like to look at his low floor, but if everything comes together, he's one of the only guys possibly available at 13 with elite upside.

If we do the GSW trade and draft Lavine there will be no in between in people's emotions here
