Wiggins is #10 I believe. And Brandon Roy wasn't even a top 5 pick in his own draft was he? He was already 22 when he entered the draft, had major health concerns, and couldn't shoot from the perimeter. He wasn't a home run prospect.

your phone must make bold invisible of something!

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

I can see every bold except Wiggins for some reason. There is no number 10 on my phone, skips from 9-11 oh well..

I though Roy was going to be huge coming out of college.

Half the list panned out, the other half didnt with the 3 exceptions. To me its still crapshoot on guessing how these players will turn out.

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

embiid reportedly suffered a broken foot..doing who knows what.


here comes the #1 pick plumetting because he is injury prone.

[OSUFan_88]

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

If he really broke his foot, the Cavaliers should take Andrew Wiggins and never look back.

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

Randle at a Lakers workout had a 38.5 inch vertical, one inch higher than Vonleh's.

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

I doubt he falls past them honestly. I think drafting Gordon ahead of him would be a huge mistake too.

I honestly would prefer seeing Lakers go after Smart, he's who im hoping for regardless, if he's gone then Randle.

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

i wonder how the thad + #3 rumor is going to pick up steam now that embiid is hurt

[jeebs9]

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

I think it would be tough for Smart to go to the Lakers. Would be asking a lot from him really early.

Seems the big man might have a injury problem. Might scary some teams away.
