2014 Draft morphing

[Mainstreet]

I was being facetious. I don't understand how Vonleh could be falling unless something major has happened that wasn't reported. Good to great measurables, good to great production and one of the youngest players in the draft with huge potential.

Suns, make sure he is not William Bedford, then go get him.

Wiggins suit is AWFUL

 

[Mainstreet]

If I had the #1 pick, I would trade down.

If I had the #1 pick, I would trade down.

For the 14, 18 and 27 picks

 

[slinslin]

Time to turn off twitter

1. Wiggins
2. Parker

my draft coverage is still not at the Cavs pick

 

[Mainstreet]

For the 14, 18 and 27 picks

Nice thought. However, if the Suns had the #1 pick I would likely trade down a few notches and reap more assets.

The problem with Vonleh is no one actually watched him all season. They all saw his measurements and his highlight footage and he jumped into the conversation for best player. He isn't the best player. He brings the ball down on just about every shot, he struggles at the rim and so on. But he's got a great wingspan, huge hands, is an incredible athlete and is nowhere close to his peak. The people that thought he was almost a finished product are running for cover but the teams that are drafting for a couple years down the road should still be high on him. All of the above is just my guess.

Bucks plan to play Parker at the 4 and Giannis at the 3.

Bucks..

Come on #14.

I know... the Suns would have to move down to get him.

I think they compliment each other pretty well. Giannis has grown to 6'10.5" since last year, as he fills out he'll likely be able to cover any position.

 

[tobiazz]

Wow, Jay Williams just made the interview about himself.

LOL. I halfway think the "Vonleh will slide" rumor was started by the Lakers to increase the pre-pick value of their number 7. A lot of teams think they can handle the cost of moving to 7 but might be reluctant to pay to get to 4. If you get enough hopefuls you might get a sucker to make the deal unconditionally well before they discover Vonleh is gone in the top 5.

Embiid #3

so he did not fall so far... Philly sure does not mind taking risks with Noel and Embiid.

 

[SunsTzu]

Embiid looks heavily medicated.

 

[sunsfan88]

HAHAHAHHAHAHA did anyone else see Embiid's reaction?

That's what happens when you set records while tanking Philly!

 

[slinslin]

Aaron Gordon goes #4 to Orlando

#5 pick is also in on twitter..

 

[SirStefan32]

Slin, can you please stop? I enjoy watching the draft and following the chat here. Stop "spoiling".

 

[Ronin]

How many picks do we have tonight?

 

[HooverDam]

How many picks do we have tonight?

If "we" means Phoenix, we have 3 in the 1st round.

 

[elindholm]

Do we still have a chat? Also, how come Tapatalk can't find this site?

 

[sunsfan88]

Damn so this means either Randle, Exum or Smart will be available when the Lakers pick

 

[Mainstreet]

Also #50 in the second round.

 

[SirStefan32]

Oooooh, chat is a good idea.

EDIT:
Heh, last conversation in the chat room was from last year's draft.

 

[slinslin]

Exum had refused to workout for Utah and did not want to go there.

 

[Mainstreet]

Exum really looks good and he is not even 19.
