2014 Draft Discussion

Re: 2014 Draft Class

Yall are harsh meng lol



I will say having 4 number 1 picks in the past 10 years or whatever is ridiculous. That shouldn't be allowed hahahaha

Let's just say there are certain teams in Sports that have their culture/history for a reason. Cavs are one of them.

And now I have no idea who the Celtics will take.

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

Agreed, but unless we can get an upgrade over Dion, you dont draft a SG, especially when there are needs at SF and C. On Kyrie/Dion, they showed glimpses of being able to play off each other, just need to be more consistent.

How is Wiggins not an upgrade though...

Waiters played so much better when Irving was gone lol

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

lawl mattum no you dont, mainly because it wasnt 3 years in a row :P

ive taken multiple calculus and stats classes, and ofc there is google..

the odds 3 independent events of a 22%, 15%, and 1.5% chance event happening is 6/10000

same a flipping coins >><<


but jazzman, kyrie aint stayin

Doesn't have to be in a row. Don't know why I said that lol.

It fits a binomial distribution.
•fixed number of trials (3 years)
•independent trials (one year doesn't affect the other)
•2 results (#1 or not)
Here's where I take the liberty of using an average probability for each year because it has to be a constant probability.

I only took one semester though...freshman year, could be wrong. I'm a science guy.

But my reasoning: http://statistics.about.com/od/ProbH...stribution.htm

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

Kyrie and Waiters have horrible chemistry IMO. That's the biggest issue. I would part with Waiters now while his stock is still decent or move him to 6th man where he belongs at this point in his career. I wouldn't call Waiters "good" defensively either. Is he seriously a good defensive player?

He is MUCH better than Kyrie on defense. Its not saying much, but take it for what its worth.

Im gonna get ripped for this, but I really dont think Kyrie is that much better than Dion, they might even be equal. Kyrie is just terrible on defense and it doesnt look like he cares either. Thats just a huge red flag.

People say "Poor Kyrie, Cleveland has terrible culture" they dont even realize he is a huge part of that.,

the events are all independent of eachother you cant avg their probability

Kyrie ain't going nowhere.

He'll sign that first extension as soon as it's offered since he wants that payday ASAP.

Kyrie definitely has a lot to prove but yeah, Dion don't strike me as being a special player. Kyrie still has that opportunity. If Kyrie played for say the Blazers instead of Lilliard the narrative would be different IMO

Re: 2014 Draft Class

I have to say, my favorite outcome from this draft is that I'll be able to play for the Lakers from the beginning of my MyCareer in 2K15 without having to intentionally play like a bum in the rookie showcase.

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

lets just agree to agree odds wise cleveland has no buisness fairly having 3 of the last 4 #1's ^^

but wait... anyone cleveland drafts assuming its parker embiid or wiggins will be the 2nd best player on the team lul

[cavsfan2]

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

The probability of Cleveland winning 3 years in a row is .237% with their average probability per year of .1334.

You have to use a binomial distribution. If you've taken a stats class in college you'll know all about this lol.

OH GOD I DONT WANT TO TAKE COLLEGE MATH

inb4 2k15 doesnt allow top 10 picks in mycareer to prevent us from getting more VC?

Agreed ith some lol, Kyrie gets a lot of praise but a lot of the issues on the court start with Kyrie, he is almost Steve Nash like on defense and too many times last season he would stall the offense with his ISO. When Kyrie was hurt, our ball movement improved a lot, Delly and Dion did a great job in that. Still, Kyrie is our best player, but he needs to mature.

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

Why does everyone say Wiggins is a SG, I always thought he was a SF. Hes 6'8" without a great jump shot. Doesnt seem like a SG to me

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

Saw something on Twitter about how the Cavs should try and trade the #1 pick for Kevin Love. I'd do it if it was an option. Love better than anybody in this draft.
