 Lots of great talent in the 2014 Draft and I'm preparing for the worst but hoping for the best. Who is your favorite players outside the top two picks.

Julius Randle and I'm intrigued by Andrew Harrison.

Like the McAdoo kid a lot too.

Mario Hezonja and Joel Embiid. Hezonja has a very good potential he's a good shooter , athletic, great size, great finisher but needs to clean up his character issues. And I love Embiid because he has great potential plus I would like to see a athletic big with the C's.

Joel Embiid if we go big, Dante Exum if we go small.

Embiid has a rare combination of size, length and coodination that would mesh well with our skilled but not overly athletic front court.

Penny Hardaway was a devestatingly effective player when his body was right and if Exum (similar size and game) can become 70% of what Pennny was while remaining healthy he'd be a great pick.

As for less highly touted prospects I dig Mitch Mcgary although probably not for this team. He's a throwback banger that could do well if he can get his cardio right. Gary Harris seems to be the "so overrated that now he's underrated" Avery Bradley type of this draft.

2 International players for me.  You thought Faverani was a hit for Ainge ?

Watch him hit on Dante Exum:

Rondo + Exum for years to come ladies and gentleman.


For the 2nd pick, I'd take Dario Saric (if he enters).  He withdrew his name from the pot this past draft.

 Youtube Videos are welcome here. I LOVE Randle but I'm not sold at all on Joel Emblid. Any videos I haven't seen on this kid that I should. Please share.

I agree Embiid is all about potential. Randle looks like Zach Randolph.

 I don't like this kids on court demeanor but he's a footer with upside as well.

Im not sure that Park is above Randle and Exum. I think the top 5 in this draft all will be allstars at some point barring injuries. Wiggins, Parker, Randle, Exum and Smart

Outside of that five I think Andrew Harrison has the potential to be a dynamic scoring PG.

I also think Caulie-Stein is going to be alot better this season and develop into an above average starting nba center.

 Marcus Smart. This kid can really play. Not an off the charts athlete but a good one. He's gonna come in NBA ready which says a lot.

Exum works for me.

 Julius Randle. I almost stained my knickers the first time I saw this kid play. It would be hard for me not to take him with the #2 pick.

 Joel Emblid

 Celtic Bloggers give me your honest opinion on this prospect. He's top 5 in a lot of projections. I'm skeptical but He just started playing basketball a year or two ago. So they claim anyway. The video is less than two minutes.

Randle is the best looking player to me (above Parker and Wiggins).  His size, athleticism, and finishing ability look really great.  Reminds me of Josh Smith (hopefully with better shot selection).

But ranking the players before this freshman year is rather pointless.
