NBA Draft 2014

[marothisu]

I didn't know players from the D-League could be drafted. That's a little weird to me.

You know Mike Taylor who played at ISU was the first ever NBDL guy to be drafted.

SAYIN'

I'm begining to think there are some dumb Gm's out there and a lot if yes men under them. Really Bairstow? I think they are just drafting inches and forget they have to still play basketball.

What's wrong with Bairstow? I wanted Kane to go to the Bulls, but Bairstow is a good player.

The first player ever drafted out of the D-League was Mike Taylor.

I actually didn't know that, but thanks for sharing. I'm gonna do some research on how that whole thing works since I actually plan on watching more NBA games next year.

Bairstow makes sense if we amnesty boozer.

So another team can pluck your guy out of the D-League? Or are D-League players not affiliated with NBA teams. I thought an NBA team could sign a guy to a D-League contract and then had access to that player in the future, like MLB.

Brown is a pretty damn good basketball player. I would take Kane over him though.

Don't get me wrong, I like Markel as well. I just down know how he'll do at the next level. Small and skinny for a SG. How will he do getting a hard foul from someone like Marc Gasol?

 

[CySmurf]

I'm guessing Kane's age is working against him.

Thanasis Antetokounmpo? Nice name. Not! Sorry, just watched Wayne's World a little bit ago.

That's what I thought, too. That's why I was confused when I saw a D-League guy drafted.

Wasnt Rodman undersized as a PF? Not saying Ejim is Rodman, but if he can find his niche, he can stick.

If Ejim compared to Rodman, he'd out rebound Hogue.

My understanding is there are both kind of players in the D-League. Most are unaffiliated. But a team can send players they have the rights to down to the D-League. (I could be way wrong)

 

[Jordanj6502]

I thought the nice comparison for Ejim was Shawn Marion. Maybe not as elite of an athlete or lock down defender, but a similar role.

 

[demoncore1031]

Time for the 6'ers to get Kane

Rodman - Hogue would be a decent comparison

 

[CycloneDaddy]

I'm really shocked no one has drafted the best guard in the Big10 yet.

That is what happens when your dad likes the nose candy.

He was, but bigger than Melvin.

Melvin will get a chance to stick, just not through the draft.

I am rooting for him to stick, but I'm not sure he does.

Rodman - Hogue would be a decent comparison

Especially with the hair Hogue sported at MSG.

Im just using it as a size comparison. They are both similar size

The Iowa team was affiliated with 4 or 5 teams at once. I'm not sure if you need to draft a guy if you're not affiliated?
