Draft is still weaker than it's made out to be. The best players in the draft right now are Jabari Parker, Andrew Wiggins and Marcus Smart IMO. Parker can be an immediate 25/5/5 guy on a terrible team, but I don't think he contributes enough defensively to get anywhere in the foreseeable future. Wiggins is too raw, he won't be making any impact on anything for a good 3/4 years. Smart will stay in his lane but he can bring Ws to any team on either end of the floor and he has mad potential. He reminds me of Eric Bledsoe.
hows the draft looking guys? Randle, Wiggins, Embiid, Parker, Exum…. How do y'all think it will go down?
Doug is great as well but I worry about him being placed into the wrong system and squandering his talent. I genuinely forgot about him in my post.I agree with you about Parker but that's all. Wiggins will make a impact as a rookie. Smart isn't a top ten player in this draft. Undersized at the 2 and to slow to guard 1s plus still no jumper. Surprised you didn't mention Doug McDermott who is more NBA ready and polished than anyone coming out this year. @CarltonJunior
He should have stayed at UNC for 4 years. While his college numbers were decent, he still had a lot to learn.Well Barnes has a prototypical SF size and pretty good athleticism. Plus hype surrounding him in HS was pretty crazy, which still lingers around him even today. I wanted either him or Drummond for Cavs in 2012, although Waiters has been good on his own.
Barnes still needs to learn a few things before he becomes a capable starter. Namely better 3 and finish around the rim.
He came out when he needed to. He stayed any longer and his stock would have fell even more.
I see what y'all saying. As a basketball fan though, I'm tired of all these "project" draftees. Athleticism is good, but there is a severe lack of polished players coming out of college. My assessment of him at UNC was a bench player, which is what he turned out to be so far.Yeah if he stayed, he would have gone down similar to what McAdoo is experiencing right now.
