This should go hereA$AP_A$TON wrote: »Dude on ESPNU just called Dante Exum the next Darko. #Sheesh
I believe it!!
I seen the vid of Marcus Smart takin his cookies nh. Marcus Smart is 6'4...soooo what happens when a 6'1, 6'2 dude gets up in him nh, and hes not yet strong enough to post up to augment that
Then he becomes a SG
Ok, well as a SG what advantages does he have?
Be careful. Remember...1 of the Harrison twins was a "6'6 pg" and a top 5 prospect based on 'great size', then we saw him play and we came off the ledge. Exum hasnt had the chance to get exposed for a full year like that yet -
My last mock.
1. Cleveland-Wiggins
2. Bucks-Parker
3. Philly-Exum
4. Orlando-Smart
5. Utah-Vonleh
6. Boston-Randle
7. Lakers-Embid
8. Sacramento-The WILL trade this pick. I think the team that does will be looking to gamble and take a sleeper. Like a Levine or Elfrid Peyton. For the sake of the mock, i'll just say Gordon.
9. Hornets-Levine
10. Sixers-Mcdermott
11. Denver-Sakic
12. Orlando-Hood
13. Twolves-Stauskis
14. Suns-A. Payne
15. Hawks-G. Harris
16. Bulls-Peyton
17. Celtics-J. Young
18. Suns-TJ Warren
19. Bulls-J. Adams
20. Raptors-Ennis
21. OKC-Kyle Anderson
22. Memphis-C. Early
23. Utah-Capela
24. Charlotte-PJ Hairston
25. Hou-Napier
26. Miami-They'll probably trade up to get Napier in this scenario. If not, Jordan Clarkson
27. Phx-J. Grant
28. LAC- G. Rob III
29. OKC-KJ Mcdaniels-the new Thabo
30. SA- Insert international. Maybe Greek Freak 2

Im good with Embid or Exum

if the bulls are unable to move up to get one of the white boys i hope they use one of their picks on that european guy that shocked draft experts when he pulled out if hes available
i heard on the radio he got an opt out after his first year
he would be a nice asset to have moving forward no matter what happens this off season + thibs wont be giving 2 rookies playing time anyways might as well stash one
I agree about the euro dude too if they can't trade up and draft harris or one of the 2 whiteboy shootersThe Chicago Bulls are "trying hard" to trade both the No. 16 and 19 picks in Thursday's 2014 NBA Draft in order to get either Doug McDermott or Nik Stauskas, according to DraftExpress' Jonathan Givony. They would reportedly like to acquire a pick in the 9-11 range. At least one of them should be available there.
It's always seemed logical that Chicago would trade at least one of its picks, as it wants to create as much cap flexibility as possible in order to make a move to acquire a star like Carmelo Anthony.
This would be the ideal scenario -
So we posting here or offseason thread, I'm confused.

So you don't think they made that Afflalo deal because they are already sold on Exum? Pretty sure Orlando is going that route -

Both I guess. Cheers to a good draft. I think y'all end up with Embid or Vonleh..

thats the ? up part about having the draft before free agency
aside from being in the east these picks is what gives the bulls an advantage in sign and trade deals but not if the bulls draft for themselves
im ready for all outcomes -

Honestly I don't know what the ? were going to do or who were gonna take. Exum makes the most sense tho -
Ain't even gotta say ? but check the sig ?
-
all I know is the Thunder better draft a 2 way SG, I am sick to death of these 1 dimensional 2 guards we keep ending up with. Thank ? Thabo's ass is grass.
-
Honestly what is with this TNA wrestling type crowd tonight?
-
Hate when ESPN says something starts at a certain time just to get you to watch their idiot "analysts"
-
Aye somebody tell me who my Sixers will pick
-
Cleveland in the house. What's not to like? lol
-
Seems weird the Kings drafted Stauskas when they have McLemore, maybe Rondo trade in the works.
Liked the Hornets pick, PJ got to stay out of trouble but it's worth the gamble. Vonleh has the potential, but seems like a guy that'd need a constant kick in the ass.
Phila did the right thing grabbing Embiid and who the ? is Bruno Cabolco? -
I was skeptical of the stauskus pick but in a way it makes sense. Ben was the only sg we had so we needed the depth. And nika can actually play some point so he might b used in spots. I honestly hope we keep Ben even though he had a tough rookie season

EP and AG the new Payton and Kemp... don't believe me just watch

I notice a lot of people rate picks like this. When you're not a contender, and you're picking #8...in a loaded draft...u should be drafting for best avail, not for need or depth.

^^^ true but who else was there that could really help. McDermott maybe. Noah v. Was there but we failed with forwards and he's a project. Nik 2 as the best available I believe at 8
