NBA Draft 2014

Little surprised they were not taken in the 2nd round.....for a guy to lead the big 12 in scoring and rebounding, not drafted, a little surprising. Guess if he was 2 inches taller, he would have been a 1st rounder.
Hopefully Fred can find them a good match for the next few years.

Kane and Ejim will get to decide who they want to go to now as Free Agents.
Kane would be a great pick up for the Bulls since they need some backup PG help.
Ejim on the Spurs or Hawks would be great in my opinion.

Color me shocked that no NBA team wanted to use a draft pick on a guy in his mid 20's that has had character concerns.
There are a good amount of players that did not get drafted that had been in mocks for months:
Jahii Carson, James Mcadoo, Patric Young, Jabari Brown, Sean Kilpatrick, CJ Fair, and Kane and Ejim.

Well, that sucks considering our guys manhandled most of these other guys like Smart and McGary when we've played them this past year.
Here's the only saving grace for our guys (when you do the math):

I cannot agree with this more. Kids don't care about the best situation, they want to be rewarded to confirm all the hard work paid off and hear there name called on the national stage.
I'm not saying it is or isn't, but with all of Fred's GM connections he's had 1 player drafted (White). Did that experience of promoting White sour his relationships around the league?
Either way, I hope both can make it. However if I'm Kane and have to choose $50,000 to play in the D league or $200.000 to play in Europe - unfortunately I don't think we see either in the NBA.
Those character concerns were present after his father died. As it's apparent now (to those that don't have an agenda), Kane acted out of character previously. If you don't understand that, you're a trolling moron. I guess I kinda went full circle there, didn't I.
Your logic makes no sense. If teams were just concerned about the bottom line they would sign a lot more second round picks since those guys come cheaper than any veteran.

You do know why the fighting gingers blew sky high last season don't you?
Of course you don't.
Since he was the best nba range 3 point shooter at his position at the combine and near the top in last year's NCAA season, along with getting near 10 boards a game two years in a row…those teams taking short forwards over him probably thought his ball handling skills were a killer.
People aren't necessarily 'noobs' for thinking Kane would be drafted, there was a lot of talk about him going in a wide variety of spots. Ejim appeared on most draft boards when he lit up the combine shooting…which anyone who saw him shoot last year should have expected…then he disappeared from them. All 3 players from Iowa and ISU had been falling down draft boards since after the combine for whatever reason.
