NBA Draft 2014

Early. Nice pick Knicks

I think they are focused on rotations obviously by those picks. They went PF with McGary and SF with Huestis. McGary will help spread the floor better than Collision on that lineup. I don't know too much about Huestis.

Huestis shot 33% from 3 each of the last two years, good rebounder though and I don't think McGary spreads the floor more than Collison. McGary hasn't shown much at all in the way of being able to knock down mid-range shots.

It's a testament to ISU's player evals that under recruited players they recruited like Stauskas and Early are getting drafted.

Once more, in English? I couldn't figure out what you're saying...

Heat will trade No. 26, No. 55 and a future 2nd to the Hornets for Shabazz Napier

MJ makes a move to help Lebron????

Yea, Embiid should thrive in Philly. Lands on a team with no scorers. The sixers are easily the worst team next year record wise.

I like their strategy, though. They had some bad luck cause Wiggins didn't fall to them, but I think they made the most of it.

Fred sees talent. Guys he IDs get drafted.

He was reported as being greatly improved in that area. He only played 8 games and was about halfway healthy so he didn't really get a chance to show it but when he went to the same camp that Georges is at, they raved about his skill development. I think he's a steal if you're looking for a big guy and he stays healthy. He'll be able to do a lot of things for a team.

ISU recruited both of those players. And they were supposedly under recruited. So it shows that ISU can evaluate talent in potential recruits.

 

[Rabbuk]

He's saying were good at identifying underrecruited talented players.

Early. Nice pick Knicks

Phil Jackson vs past 20 years of Knicks floundering...something's gotta give.

 

[Tre4ISU]

They almost had me there.

ISU is doing a good job finding talented players who didn't end up signing with us but did have the talent to get drafted even though they weren't highly sought after.

Do you mean 8 games at the camp? He played a full season at Stanford last year

What a tease

Move down two spots late in the first round for two second round picks. It is a smart trade if you value Napier and Hairston the same.

Me, too. I about jumped.

 

[Jordanj6502]

Rumors that Bulls are looking at a sign and trade for Melo and that is why they also acquired Anthony Randolph in the Doug McDermott trade.

 

[Balls]

Is it better to go undrafted?

 

[demoncore1031]

YES!!!! Hahahahaha
