Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

the embiid injury is bad for boston, moves everyone up a slot if he drops as i would expect now. although now they would probably be picking marcus smart or julius randle

Philly's hopes just got dashed for Wiggins. I see Embiid slipping to 10 off of this foot injury. Wiggin's, Parker and Vonleh just got into the top three. I wonder how this will effect Charlotte's draft.

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

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

Three is Vonleh unless Philly wants another MCW in Exum

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

this is actually a big game changer for prettymuch the entire lottery.

--my revised mock

1. Cavs- Parker
2. Bucks- Wiggins
3. Sixers- Gordon
4. Magic- Exum
5. Jazz- Vonleh
6. Celtics- Smart
7. Lakers- Randle
8. Kings- Levine
9. Horncats- Harris
10. Sixers- Mcbuckets
11. Denver- Stauskas
12. Magic- Embiid
13. Twolves- Cleanthony
14. Suns- Young

i took gordon over randle/vonleh @3 because i think the sixers are leaning towards the athletic freak, multiple position versatile player to build around, such as MCW is. With thad on the team it also gives them the flexibility to play gordon at either the 3 or 4, depending what hes showing in the summer

Don't disrespect my Hornets lol. We are on the come up lol.

I think we are getting either LaVine had a good workout, Harris or McBuckets (although McBuckets is to much of a Higgins pick). I wouldn't mind James Young.

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

I think Ebiid still going top 3...

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

I think if you are the Cavs this is even more reason to trade down and take Embiid. Philly still wants Wiggins badly(if the reports are correct) Cleveland can still get their man without the pressures of making him the face of this draft and still be compensated with a piece like T. Young and a second rounder.


Of course everyone will hit the panic button with this news, but it's certainly not the end of the world and we don't even know what happened.

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

i call them horncats cuz imo best name ever my secret closet team

i was down to harris or mcbuckets but i think harris gives them more use. He will add extra defense which they seem to be in love with now, keep MKG @ the 3 spot, giving him extra year or two to try to develop a shot, and he also provides a secondary ballhandler who can shoot. He and kemba can pull off a bledsoe-dragic type backcourt IMO, but probably even better defensively

I wouldn't be upset with Harris. But LaVine is so intriguing. He is a risky pick but the kid can be a great all around guy at a spot we need off the bench or move Gerald to the bench. The athleticism and potential is something we have never had in Charlotte. We can get Shabazz at 24.

Philly with Wiggins and Randle would be my second team in 2K. After playing as the Hornets and somehow getting Parker on the squad.

Yeah if that happen I fully expect the articles about our trade with the Sixers to never end. That is an impressive young core if they can come together.


Carter-Williams
Wiggins
?
Randle
Noel


I almost hope it does if so there will be a lot of Philly games I'll be watching this season.

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

wroten would probably be the missing starter talk about a freaky athletic team, theyd probably be better served with a stretch 4 over randle though. that lane will be clogged to the max

That would be simply crazy and strange enough if MCW gets a steady jumpshot that team fits perfectly with one another.

Randle has the ability to get a Randolph jumper. I see him maxing out as a more athletic Randolph. They can hang their hat on defense that first year and if they can get a quality vet that can help stretch the floor that is a very exciting team their.

Part of me wishes The Hornets tanked this past year lol

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

they should trade both picks and thad for #1 and bennett ^^
