2014 NBA Draft Thread

Randle been in the cut......probably eating or raising his family since he's actually 35 years old.




I'm obviously on the Giannis Alphabet bandwagon but I worry about his shooting only because of his massive hands. His stroke is fine but I can see how hard it would be to become an elite 40% range 3 point guy when the ball is literally a grapefruit in in your palms.

That Rondo effect.

Damn near forgot bout Randle ...he been low key 4real

 

[buc em]

He must already have a promise from somebody. Haven't heard a peep about him as far as workouts or anything.

orlando is going to have randle come and workout:

maybe he doesn't think he'll slide into the 5+ range?

 

[awwsome]

Thought it was pretty solidified that Orlando was looking for a pg, why draft Randle when you have Harris and nobody to pass them the ball?

He's going to have a lot of bad misses his first year.

Like a said a few weeks ago, I can easily see Orlando taking Randle at #4 and coming back with Ennis/Levine at #12.

Tobias was getting run at the 3 last season so them taking Randle isn't out of the question.

 

[awwsome]

I LIKE Ennis in Orlando with Gordon/Randle.

He's the best decision making guard in the draft, definitely a floor general with no facial expression.



Probably roll with Randle, y'all need scoring, matter fact I would take Vonleh because he can stretch the floor with his shooting while giving you rim protection on d.

Smart looked uninterested as hell in that workout. Never seen him look so slow and robotic in my life. Just going through the motions.

Lavine = Jamal Crawford

 

[bigsmilesmgr]

Lavine = Jamal Crawford

I don't remember Jamal ever jumping 46 inches 

I hope the Westbrook comparisons come to fruition

 

[dland24]

Lavine = Jamal Crawford

Not saying Lavine will or wont be as good as Jamal Crawford......but I wholeheartedly disagree with this comparison.  They are nothing alike.

I didn't know player comparisons had to involve vertical leaps.

Maybe it would help if you elaborated on your post. Please do explain.

Both tall and lanky combo guards that do most of their damage on the perimeter.

And guess who Lavine himself said he models his game after...

see a lot of nick young in him with the athleticism

 

[woody2626]

Interesting that Ennis had a private workout with Charlotte. Hood also

We need a backup pg but we have bigger needs

“I am the type of person that is going to go in there and try and take someone's job,” LaVine said.

but couldn't take Bryce Alford's job.

 

[bhzmafia14]

I can see it.....no matter how good Lavine becomes, OKB will never give him credit. NEVER.

Crawford had a way better handle and wasn't the athlete that LaVine is.
