Much rather that happen then Vonleh

if embiid is there henny may pass on him if he doesnt clear the docs. I could see henny trading down for Gordon and grabbing payton at 12. Honestly, im more excited about the potential of drafting payton than our 4th pick.

Guess I'm the only one feeling Wiggins' suit. I think it's fresh. Way to take risks on you draft day.

He seems to have the attitude, intangibles and abilities of a potential cornerstone.
which top prospects? Because no where has it said who hes worked out against.

Either way we dont know what, he'll become but so far I havent seen anything cornerstone worthy. Its all potential so far.

Exactly, which top prospects, Australian high schoolers? Sorry that doesn't scream superstar to me by any stretch.

Actually, I'm talking about the hoops summit where he went against Wiggins, Parker, etc. It was limited, but he has shown that he can at least compete with those guys. I'd still rather have Jabari or Wiggins, but I think it's much more likely Exum is an all-star level player rather than a bust.

I assume in case they move up from #10, but it wouldn't shock me to see either picked at #3.

That is way too small of a sample size, but unfortunately thats all we have on him. All Star level player !?!?...I hope youre right.

Let's just accept that now. Probably Ennis too.

Ennis
Oladipo
Harris
Vonleh
Vucevic

I think I would throw up.

Ennis gets really shafted on this board. We complain about not having a pass-first point guard and then are complaining about potentially getting one. The guy can flat out run an offense and for a freshman point, that's really impressive.
However, with Vonleh....yeah. We take Vonleh and we will struggle to be better next year after losing AA. Odds are we're going to have to take another rebuilding year.

So who we looking at in 2015. :banghead:

Is that 1 game or am I mistaken?

And there it is. 24 hours and 75 pages later...they're keeping the pick.

Now we just pray Philly doesn't take Exum. They hold the keys to our draft.

You guys hate vonleh now, but most of you are going to talk yourselves into him after we draft him

That time, yes. But he did go on to do well at the U-19 games.
Read the story here: http://espn.go.com/nba/draft2014/story/ ... an-mystery

A big key for Exum is that he appears to have intangibles. The maturity looks to be there which is huge.
