"The Official 2014 NBA Prospect Thread 4 Thruthiness and Justivity"


  

          

Two weeks until the draft. You know the drill.

I'll list the prospects, you list your thoughts, as detailed or as basic ("he'll be good"/"he'll be sorry") as you want. As meticulously bias-free as possible or as blindly agenda-driven as you want.

Get on record before these guys play a single NBA game as to how you think they'll pan out. Stake claims, "buy stock," etc.

Jun 13th 2014

I think because Embiid is more "traditional center" polished.
Jun 13th 2014

Project, but unquestionably All-Star potential. Really high motor.

any chance this guy falls to 7?

Haven't seen a lot of him, but his body/skill combo is unique.

Taller Tony Parker with better defense

Incredibly high basement. Hard worker, skilled player.
Jun 13th 2014
107
but the best case scenario is a stronger Carlos Boozer
Jun 13th 2014
111
      Since Booz was a 20-10 guy for a stretch there...
Jun 13th 2014
114
           Eh, I meant a stronger Chicago era Booz
Jun 13th 2014
115
                I trust his offense a little more than you do.
Jun 13th 2014

Bigger, stronger, more athletic LaPhonso Ellis.

           agreed. Cal had him in the box to help UK
Jun 25th 2014

Tweener risk, raw offensively, but defensively alone worth a high pick.

He can't shoot or create his own shot at all.
Jun 18th 2014
226
      and neither could Trevor when he was drafted...
Jun 18th 2014

           right, Kobe literally taught Ariza how to shoot

You say "James Young". I say "James Harden". Best scoring wing...
Jun 13th 2014

You can't say James Harden and then say this:
Jun 14th 2014
180
      I thought it was obvious I'm evaluating Young as of today....
Jun 18th 2014
219
           Young is nothing like Harden. More like a Demar Derozan type.
Jun 18th 2014
