Is Exum really franchise altering potential?

absolutely....he has to develop properly but so does wiggins or embiid...hes ten times the prospect that mcw was last year...and hes a guy that's always going to have the ball in his hands

you need superstars to win in the nba.....an undersized four who hustles for rebounds isnt that

[PhillyPhreak54]

Agreed on the superstar aspect

I just don't know about Exum

Brett coached him tho right?

[ice grillin you]

Chad Ford says Cleveland probably goes Wiggins

[phattymatty]

Randle is this years boogie cousins. I don't know why everyone is so mad. They gon get a stud regardless.

Randle is this years boogie cousins.

except for two inches 30 lbs and a monstrous wingspan you mean

randle is a 6-9 pf with alligator arms....hes a fine pick.....if they could get him at 10

That's the comparison I made too

[Eagles_Legendz]

Big no on Randle.  I'll default to Parker/Exum.

[MDS]

im sure the philly team will make the right call

CF's post lottery mock...


Andrew Wiggins
Cleveland Cavaliers (33 - 49)
COLLEGE: Kansas
HT: 6-8
WT: 200
POS: SG

The Cavs win the lottery for the third time in four years. That is pretty incredible. They hit a home run with Kyrie Irving and screwed it up with Anthony Bennett. There are no guarantees that Luol Deng is going to sign with them this summer and Parker brings high character and a versatile scoring threat. Joel Embiid is another guy to watch here. Anderson Varejao is 32 years old. They need a long-term replacement. But will Dan Gilbert have the patience to wait? I thought they'd to go safe and bring in Jabari Parker. However, sources in Cleveland say that Wiggins is the likely choice. The team feels he has the most long-term potential, helps them defensively right out of the gate, can replace Dion Waiters in the starting lineup while adding character to the team.


Joel Embiid
Milwaukee Bucks (15 - 67)
COLLEGE: Kansas
HT: 7-0
WT: 250
POS: C

The Bucks really liked Embiid before his back injury. But there are questions about whether they will actually be able to get him in for a physical before the draft. If they can, he is likely the No. 1 pick with Wiggins off the board. If they cannot, Parker or Dante Exum could move into this spot. Parker is the safe pick, but there are concerns that he plays the same position as Giannis Antetokounmpo. Exum could be their point guard of the future, as they would like to move Brandon Knight to the 2.


Jabari Parker
Philadelphia 76ers (19 - 63)
COLLEGE: Duke
HT: 6-8
WT: 241
POS: SF

Not an ideal set-up for the Sixers who were after Wiggins. But Parker gives the a terrific scoring option to pair with their young athletes in Michael Carter-Williams and Nerlens Noel. Parker could average 20 PPG as a rookie in Philly. Look for Dante Exum to be a real possibility here, too. They could end up shopping Carter-Williams or just pairing the two together in the backcourt.




Nik Stauskas
Philadelphia 76ers (19 - 63)
COLLEGE: Michigan
HT: 6-7
WT: 207
POS: SG

The Sixers addressed their frontcourt needs with their first pick, but they still need shooting. Stauskas is not only, arguably, the best shooter in the draft, but he has the ability to play both the one and the two, giving the Sixers a great 2 guard plus depth behind Carter-Williams.

[hunt]

please no white guys at 10.  meant that in a totally non-racist way. 

[PhillyPhreak54]

Where does Nik fall on the Havas Name Scale?

[ice grillin you]
