2013-2014 College Basketball / '14 NBA Draft Thread

Pssh Randle/Gordon/Stauskas all suck anyway...who needs them

/Barganing Stage is a go

What's everyone's nightmare scenario?

Mine is Embiid's injury concerns are bad enough for us to take him off our board followed by Wiggins and Exum going 1/2 leaving Sixers to choose between Parker and Vonleh.

Getting Parker is not a nightmare scenario. I'd be smacking babies purely out of excitement if Parker miracled his way to us at 3.

anyone of Wiggins/Parker/Exum and I'm thrilled

[cksdayoff]

if it's between Exum or Embiid, I'd rather the Sixers trade down 1 or 2 spots. I'm not thrilled with the idea of taking a 7'0 big who has a stress fracture in his foot, or an unknown australian who can't shoot from the field or free throws.

I like Embiid and considered him top 3 in this draft for a while now, probably would be selected #1 overall if he was completely healthy, but I think this is a big red flag, especially when he will undoubtedly put on more weight as he gets older.

Exum, I was on his bandwagon, but I was never impressed with what I saw from him, even his highlights, . imo, he is one of those guys that gets a lot of hype for his athleticism and potential but then plays 1 year of college, gets all of his flaws exposed and then goes from a potential top 3 pick to 7-12 pick range in the following draft, like Julius Randle.

the world isn't going to end if the Sixers can't work their magic and land Parker or Wiggins, but if the Sixers can't move up from #3, I'd prefer them to drop down 1 or 2 spots and grab whoever remains of the two

The only issue I see in that scenario is who would be willing to trade up for Embiid or Exum? Utah? Boston?

If it's Boston, then I'd ask for 6 and 17, but at 6 you're looking at Smart likely as BPA. I suppose that wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

I would be fine with Julius Randle at 6.

How in the world could getting Parker be a nightmare situation, first of all not a hcnace in hell this happens, but getting Parker would be amazing. He's my #1 over Wiggins, but he's all Milwaukee's

Woj is like the Shefter of the NBA. When he tweets it, it's gold.

And now if Cleveland wants to deal, they have to come back to Hinkie and ask nicely. Love it.

It's gonna be chaotic. I expect several conversations in multiple threads. And ballboys will make a thread every time they think out loud after every pick.

[joefrizzle]

I am so friggin pumped right now. I feel like a kid on christmas eve. And when we draft Embiid, ill be that disappointed kid on christmas who asked for a bike and got a batman bedspread.
