NBA Draft 2014

[cmjh10]

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- 6'7" 207
Ejim 6'6" 220

 

[CycloneErik]

We have reached the Euro portion of the draft.

 

[Doc]

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

Rodman 6'8"
Ejim 6'6"

He's an undersized Rodman.

 

[Cyclones01]

So how is he supposed to fit in the NBA if you are aware of all of those facts?

Wherever he can be on a basketball court...

All of this talk about being undersized or too old is completely blown out of proportion, in my opinion. How many younger players are picked strictly because of their size, athleticism, and perceived potential, that end up being busts? I frankly don't see how it's any more stupid to take a chance on a guy that has proven he can play the game of basketball at a high level.

Jalen likes Marble, Ejim and Kane.

 

[Cycsk]

Kane and Ejim mentioned by Jason.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

want to hate jalen then he give our guys a shout out.

Serious question, not criticizing the practice, but has any foreign player that teams draft and then stash in one of the euro leagues to develop ever then been brought to the NBA after a few years and had a big impact? Just curious.

Here we go with posters arguing over a difference of a couple inches in height.

 

[Tredici]

This draft looks like the one that DG was in. Tons of foreign players getting drafted. Leaving out the ISU players.

 

[GTO]

Jalen likes Marble, Ejim and Kane.

One of these things is not like the others.

 

[cmjh10]

Marble to Nuggets?

Marc Gasol.

 

[JHUNSY]

Marble to the Nuggets.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Jalen Rose speaking up for our guys. There are about seven point guards that couldn't hold Kane's jock that have been drafted. I know he will sign somewhere and probably stick, but this is just stupid.

Melvin will get his shot too, but I get the size/position thing.

That's what she said...

 

[marothisu]

Roy Devyn Marble drafted ahead of Kane and Ejim - hahaha, okay. I mean the guy is good, but not as good as either one of those guys.

Kukoc was drafted by Bulls in 90 reported to Bulls in 93

 

[KMAC_ATTACK]

Thank you Jalen Rose for recognizing both ISU players Kane and Ejim as players that deserve to be drafted.

Its ironic to watch the draft as these teams and GMs intentionally draft Euro players that they know will not be stateside for 3-4 years so that they have the rights but save on the money so they can target free agents....

I was hoping that my 76ers would take a flier on Kane....
