2014 NBA Draft Thread

[shoeking2101]

Seems like Embiid is at least decently healthy. Tough to get much more out of a video like that other than he moves much more like Dre Drummond or someone along that line rather than Hakeem who was cat like.

That's why I've consistently not liked the Hakeem comparisons. Hakeem moved with so much more fluidity, and that was a huge part to what made him who he was as a player.

I see JE if he pans out as a 2012 Andrew Bynum with better defense.

I'm with you man, Hakeem was much leaner, Embiid looks huge brah. Don't get me wrong, Embiid is still agile for his size, he just doesn't strike me as an Akeem type.

I have a feeling it's going to be a no-brainer he goes #1.

LaVine is a smooth operator but something about his game just doesn't really intrigue me. Those videos somehow always make the dunks look Godly, ultimate hype vids

 

[buc em]

Christ he has bounce. Is he a good defender though? I didn't really see much of him at UCLA.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Draftexpress article in April said he wasn't a good defender right now but he's only 19. If someone can teach him he has the physical tools and he's 6'5 and 3 quarters. Not bad size. The article said his body and wingspan compare to Jamal Crawford who happens to be his close friend.

Can't name 10 players I'd take over Jordan Clarkson.

About that Elfrid Payton life as well.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

That's quite the statement

 

[champcruthik]

Watched him at Tulsa and Mizzou. Big, athletic combo guard. Does everything well.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

What's his mentality like, especially defensively? I just youtubed a highlight tape. Has pretty good size at 6'5 with solid form on his jumper. Draftexpress has him in the 2nd round

 

[champcruthik]

Raw defensively despite athleticism and physical tools. Struggled to lead the team, unnatural distributor. Faded end of the season.

100% cosign this and if Miami picks clarkson and ask him to run the 1 :x


I'm pretty sure everybody will agree but Emiid > Noel

And Levine will be really good or J.Lamb. Meaning he has all the skins and is nice but it just something holding wrong and you can't put your hands on it.

Lamb is one of my favorite in the league and it makes me sick he's not the starting 2 for the Thunder. Also he doesn't have that "Killa go get it attitude" kid just doesnt play hard. Or it doesn't look like he does. I'm gonna guess that's the issue in OKC.

 

[awwsome]

Lamb's problem is defense.

 

[buc em]

Lamb's problem is Scott Brooks can't tell if he's asleep or not on the bench.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Brooks is lost. Dude playing Fisher's corpse over Lamb is beyond me.

 

[awwsome]

Also true, Brooks slander even extends to the Draft thread, ain't eem mad.

 

[ballinsam23]

Tyreke Evans with a jumper a good comparison for Jordan clarkson?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I never saw Clarkson play but that sounds like a really talented player. Reke should be better than where he is.
