2014 NBA Draft Thread

I get if your belief is Bari has a higher ceiling than Batum, Chand, and Gay. Especially because Gay is a volume shooter. Batum and Chand aren't as natural scorers as Bari has shown in one year at Duke with the jumper. But top-6 SF right now before even playing a minute in the league? Come on, man.
 
Stop it. AD got fried his rookie year on the defensive end. Bari will come in and avg 17 easy his first year.


I know this dude cash didn't say he would take smart over Bari. Wow.

Smart will be weak as hell in league. So overrated.
Anthony Davis has become an elite defender in less than 2 seasons. In the entire NBA. Is Bari's offense going to translate that quickly? I think not.

AD is nowhere near elite yet lol. Dont let the blocks fool you. Opposing PF's ate him up at times this year
 
If Jabari didnt play out of position for Duke and that weak frontcourt, he wouldnt average as many rebounds.

Their ball handling is about equal.

If jabari didnt go to duke he would put up beasley stats, do you have anymore ifs

What a hypocritical statement. You're saying he's already better than Batum, Rudy, Chandler.

You're gonna have to elaborate. Smart over Bari?

I'm all for differing, gutsy opinions. So please explain.
great athlete tough physical guard , competes every play . i can live with the spotty shooting in the right pick n roll , dribble penetration offense . has the body you want from a guard to finish strong at the rim .he can bully most 1's out the gate , the main reason i can live with the so so shooting. a little emotional but i rather that then jabari getting benched in the notre dame game for just straight up looking disengaged , personally .
 
Anthony Davis isn't an elite defender?

He will be one of the best defensive bigs next year and threaten to win DPOY for years to come

He is not elite yet. He will be at some point, yeah.

These were opposing pf stats against NO:

50.82% shooting (2nd highest in the league)
21.34 PPG, 12.26 Rebs.

Ranked 26/30 in general vs PF.

I still don't see Wiggins being a superstar in his NBA career.

Tony Allen type dude without the Knee injury at most.

You're really going to use team defensive stats to prove he isn't elite?

Your using ELITE man. I read what you posted and it still isn't implying he was elite. He's better than most simply because nobody plays freaking defense anymore. Games I watched he still got washed by opposing forwards. He puts up stats, but he didnt shutdown anyone.
 
:lol compared wiggins to tony allen, the disrespect

i dont think he'll reach his potential but im gonna go with a kawhi type, we'll see flashes but not consistently
