2014 NBA Draft

If you want to see a kid put on one of the most impressive shooting clinics I have ever seen, watch Nik Stauskas just make every single shot look like a layup. This kid in a fair world would be a top 5 pick. He is amazing. I hope he goes to the right team. Watch this clip!

Good stuff on Stauskas.

In bad (?) news, Croatian potential lottery pick Dario Saric has signed in Turkey. He can't come over to the NBA for at least 2 years now. That makes this already dark draft even darker.

That is bad news. I wanted to see him playing in the nba. I guess it's another two year wait for the kid.

Let's keep it positive with some more workouts for the nba.

Here is 6'6 Joe Harris who is very impressive.

Agreed. Harris is a good player should be a 2nd rd pick. Aaron Craft is another guy I see as a 2nd rd pick and Alec Brown a 7ft center has a nice game. Should go 1st rd. On another note it will he interesting to see how high Embid goes despite a foot fracture that will keep him out at least 4months.
 
What do you think of Mitch McGary and his potential? It's nice to see white american players getting drafted again in the last several years. It was very bad for a long time outside of the int'l guys from europe. It seems like the revival started with guys like Kevin Love and it keeps going. Great to see and the future will hopefully be even better. I just want to see more of these kids become starters & eventually all stars.
 
Anyone hear about this Isiah Austin guy? He was being touted as a late first rounder before being diagnosed with a career ending ailment. I just wonder how this guy was even considered a legitimate pro prospect in the first place - He averaged like 12 pts/5 rebounds in two seasons at baylor - he is also blind in one eye since he was 16. Just more proof of the caste system.

I like mcGary! He sort of reminds me of Josh McRoberts another Mick lol who has turned himself into an NBA starter but it took a couple years. I think McGary is more polished than him though coming out.

Saw that as well. All I remember of him is him getting babied by Kaminsky in the tourney. :)
 
I"m hoping it his pick will be traded. They sure did screw Jimmer over. I hate the Kings.
 
McDermott finally picked, but Sam Amick of USA Today says hes going to be traded to Chicago.

Yep. He's now a Bull. They have Jimmer, Hinrich, Dunleavy, and now McDermott.

Saric to the Magic... damn, I was hoping he'd last till the T-Wolves.
 
the two supposedly most athletic players drafted in the lottery are very light skinned mulatto's. But of course their athleticism couldn't be attributed to the ~70% White DNA they have, it's only due to their black blood.
 
Gee, this LaVine kid was on the BENCH for an above average UCLA team this year and that gets him a lottery pick. Even the analysts said he's no wear close to NBA ready yet, so than why waste a pick on this guy?? :wacko::dodgy: Such is the very crazy world of the NBA Caste System. It's worse than Kentucky benchwarmer Daniel Orton getting drafted a few years back.
 
Well, Saric is now in Philadelphia; it looks like Hawes is gonna be on his way out with that trade, coupled with the Embiid pick.
 
Guys there's reason to be optimistic about Stauskas. The Kings have a new owner and he's this Indian tech billionaire. And from what I hear he wants to win immediately. I think he had a hand in the Stauskas pick. This is the same guy who ready to trade everyone on his team except for Cousins just to rent Kevin Love for one season. I think if Stauskas doesn't get playing time the owner will be pissed. I think Jimmer would have played more had he been the owner back then.

upside
 
I think the Bulls are going to be a fun team to watch. They traded to get Mcdermott and now drafted Nurkic. This is in addition to all the guys that they already have. Great news.
