Re: 2014 Draft Class

Yeah Parker already looks really comfortable with his back to the basket. I'm still sticking with the Paul pierce comparison

I see what your saying with Paul Pierce. I just think his ball handling is much better. Kind of could run point guard a little.

i dont see that, pierce is a much better playmaker/ball handler and doesnt even come close to the size/athleticism of parker

They're the same size lol. Parker will evolve his ball skills, he's already well on pace to do that. It's not like Parker is on pp's level yet, I'm projecting him to have a Paul pierce type impact and career

Re: 2014 Draft Class

parkers got a few inches on pierce (realisticly, not the goofy heights teams give), and honestly it looks like parker weighs in over 240 but thats not what espn has ^^

but yeah, if he develops the leadership i could see him having a huge impact on his team...granted hes going to wind up on a terrible team with no leadership who will most likely be in the lottery again

but who knows, maybe atlanta ends up getting him if brooklyn doesnt turn it around...and if you put him on atlanta watch out miami

So how tall you think Parker is? And pp is pretty heavy himself

Re: 2014 Draft Class

I'd say PP is 6'7 or 6'8 and Parker is 6'8 maybe will get to 6'9

Either way I don't think their height and weights are that different nor will they be that different when Parker rounds into his prime

that may be true, but parker seems more solidly built, but thats really hard to tell. regardless, his athleticism blows pierces out of the water ^^

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

Re: 2014 Draft Class

So who outside of Wiggins, Parker, Randle, Smart, Embiid, and Exum are guys that you like?

I really like the flashes I've seen from Selden and Jerami Grant. And I'm still curious about Aaron Gordon too. He had a really nice game last night.

Paul Pierce now, definitely. But Pierce had a decent amount of athleticism when he was younger.

Re: 2014 Draft Class

I like Aaron Gordon. But he reminds me of Beasley.

I wouldn't go that far at all. Parker has some decent bounce but on the next level it won't show nearly as much as it does now. PP had similar athleticism as a freshman.

Let's not make Parker seem like an elite athlete or that PP played below the rim as a freshman. PP had some decent bounce himself even as a pro.

Re: 2014 Draft Class

Wiggins slowly getting exposed. Not his fault, the media hype was far too excessive. He could end up a fine player but he ain't no Kobe or Lebron. At this point I have a tough time seeing him as a Paul George

You ain't lying about the excessive media hype around these dudes.

Thankfully ya'll haven't bought too much stock into the hype and have been level headed regarding these dudes. Other message boards I frequent hype these guys like it's MJ, Len Bias, Lebron and Magic in their primes playing again Lol.
