He doesn't really fit on the Jazz.

I like Vonleh to CHA, he'll be an Ibaka type who can protect the rim in ways Jefferson can't.

Vonleh isn't near the athletic freak that Serge is. Still, it was a good pick. Perhaps Zeller is on the move?

I think they keep zeller since McBob opted out.

Wow, Philly tanking and proud of it. LOL

YUP, both of their 1st rounders will probably not play one minute this year. STILL, I would have taken EMbiid. The risk/reward is too great.

Sigh, the wait is interminable and the payoff minimal and the disappointment likely large. Am I a bad fan if I think it sucks to not be in the lottery? There are some really intriguing players still on the board though, too bad there's soooo many picks before we even get a sniff...

Post #909 » by **Rafael122** » Fri Jun 27, 2014 2:32 am

Talent still available:

1. Kyle Anderson
2. KJ McDaniels
3. Jerami Grant
4. Jarnell Stokes
5. Spencer Dwinddle
6. Russ Smith
7. Glen Robinson III
8. Cleanthony Early
9. Patric Young
10. Dwight Powell

Rankings are based on Draft Express and who's left.

Had a small twitter back and forth with Umair from BF about K. Anderson. I think he has to slim down to be a 3, he thinks he's a 4....Is Kyle's frame really conducive to adding good weight? He could be a good point forward, but I just wonder how he will develop physically. :/

I wouldn't be surprised if the Wiz give this pick away for cash or draft some eurostash.

1st round in the books. My pick for Wilcox went way earlier than I thought. Stokes is still on the board. Guys like Patric Young and Russ Smith may still be there at 46

Me either. It is Ernie's move. Sell it for cash. Save as much as possible to keep Gortat and Ariza.

I think Stokes will be gone and that to me is more of a Ted move than a Ernie move. A real owner that wants to win, would want to get the best talent even at 46 and not worry about the luxury tax.

Good luck getting a shot off against Philly in crunch time in about 3 years.

Do you take a chance on a 7-2 Walter Taveres, who just signed a three-year deal with his Euro team or do you draft an athletic but thin four-man like Cory Jefferson, who worked out for the Wiz?

Agreed - selling the pick would be a 100% ownership decision. But I don't think that will happen.

Assuming both are healthy enough to be on the floor together. It's worth the gamble but it's a big risk.
