Good. All the more chances Parker falls to 4th. If not, lets go get lil Z-bo.

chad ford embiid news

The Cleveland Cavaliers were "blown away" by Joel Embiid's workout last week, according to sources.
Two separate sources indicated after the workout that Embiid is now the strong favorite to be drafted by the Cavaliers.
There have been reports, however, about the possibility that Embiid's physical showed multiple red flags.

To be fair, the only reports I've seen have been linked to a local Cleveland radio host whose agenda against Embiid is quite clear. Said he doesn't want to take Embiid because of his bad knees.

And no, that's not a misquote. He also admitted he got that report from a different team in the NBA.

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

Maybe they're more tight lipped. Since you're a fan, maybe you can enlighten us on who the Bucks should draft?

Well I can't really speak for them. As far as I know, Hammond likes Exum, but he won't have final say in who we pick. One owner liked Jabari, and the other likes Wiggins and dislikes Jabari. If it were up to me, my big board would be Embiid, Wiggins, Exum, and then Jabari, but that's just my opinion. The Bucks insider that generally knows everyone says our big board is currently Embiid, Jabari, Wiggins, and Exum, but things can change now that we're finally getting everyone in for workouts.

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

As a Bucks fan I wouldnt want us to trade out of the top 4. Cant go wrong with any of those guys imo. But I am curious to see a Exum & Giannis duo.

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

All these reports of teams being "blown away" from workouts that involve nobody playing each other are stupid.

Actually in those workouts a lot of former players or current play against the prospects. There just private you probàbly won't here about it until 5 years down the line honestly.

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

Who will be a late 1st round gem for a team? I think that Ennis could fall and would be an intriguing target. Shubazz Napier could be pretty good if a contending team drafts him

Remember the workout video with Embiid that everyone was "blown away" by? He was playing exactly nobody. Real easy to look good on a chopped up video specifically made to make you look good.

I like Jarnell Stokes a lot. His advanced metrics put him right up there with Randle as a PF.

I don't think Ennis will be a gem no matter where he goes in the first round. Just don't think he'll ever be more than a backup PG or a below average starter. Definitely rooting for him though for what he accomplished for us at Syracuse.

I think Mitch McGary will be a good backup or solid starting center for someone.

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

so assuming boston gives miny #6 and 17, who do you think the t-wolves will want with 6, 13 and 17 to build their team around?

i am thinking randle @6, cleanthony early @ 13, and aidrean payne @ 17

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

@MarkG_Medina
Lakers source I talked to gushed about Julius Randle's "diversity." Believes he was more polished than Vonleh and Gordon

That dude is really going out on a limb with that statement.

yup, that's the equivalent of saying Wiggins is a better defender than Parker

I think they where blown away in private workouts if I'm not mistaken.

Think Hairston will be a steal if he can keep his head on straight. Also think Jordan Clarkson will have a long career

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

Maybe it's just me, but I'll get a good laugh at the Sixers if they end being 1 spot away from the guy they REALLY wanted (Wiggins) after that tank job.

Although then again they'll end up with a great player regardless so my laugh won't last too long.
