Re: 2014 Draft Class

Some of you guys assessments on UK players are way of base.

Re: 2014 Draft Class

I gotta believe Wiggins 1st, Embiid 2nd, Parker 3rd. At least that's how I see it.

Re: 2014 Draft Class

Parker hasn't entered yet right?

Man... if he returns Duke is going to be scary.

A lot depends on the need (like Sacramento wouldn't pick Embiid second) but I think that is probably the "consensus" top 3 in order right now. In a couple more weeks we should know who all is coming out & who's going back to college.

Re: 2014 Draft Class

Embiid's back sort of scares me. It'll be interesting to see if he let's doctors examine him.

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

Re: 2014 Draft Class

If Embiid's back gets cleared by doctor's I think he'll go in the top 2. Jabari could still slip to 4 if Exum kills it in workouts IMO, but who knows?

Sidenote: In Chad Ford's weekly chat, he said that Ennis is a better prospect than Trey Burke was a year ago. I just don't get it lol. I really hope he pans out, but I can't understand that kind of hype being around him.

People are forgetting that he said he wants to finish school. That's one of the reasons he stayed. Also he has a religious obligation I think coming as well?(won't go into it would be breaking TOS). Along with his buddy Jahil coming I think it's still 50-50 on him staying. People that had him 1 and done was more so the talking heads IMHO.

Re: 2014 Draft Class

That tourney exit was also just a disgrace. This is a kid who won the state championship all 4 years in high school. Might want to stay another year and try again.

Did anybody ever peg him as a for sure 1-and-done though??? I think they all just treated it more like a big board situation, where if anyone was available he would be a top 3 guy or whatever.. I never heard anybody actually say he would leave after 1 year??

Re: 2014 Draft Class

Duke would have a crazy team if Hood and Parker came back. But I think with Parker actually playing his natural position they would go deeper in march. They would get 4 McDonald All Americans and have guys like Cook, Jefferson and Rasheed coming back. They would be pretty deep.
Even if Hood left that would be a pretty solid team.

Cook has some problems he needs to weed out.

Every talking head every mock had him coming out. It wasn't treated as a big board alot of people had him being 1 and done along with Wiggins and others. I think people are missing the big picture of why he went to Duke along with his friend Jahil coming. If he comes back people will act like it's the end of the world .

Re: 2014 Draft Class

Is there anywhere with a list of players that have decided if they are declaring or not and a list of players that decided already?
