2014 NBA Draft: Who's in, who's out (list in OP)

[PhoSita]

Parker is the only one of the Holy Trinity left to declare.

Johnny O'Bryant III of LSU is in...no idea who he is as LSU hasn't been relevant in a while.

Also, Embiid still hasn't officially declared despite widespread media reports, so I'm taking him off the list for now.

James Michael McAdoo is declaring early for some reason.  If it was 2012 this would be big news.

Jabari is officially in.  Not that one though.

Do we have a second round pick this year?  I admit I am biased but I would love JMM if we could get him.  He has an NBA body and athleticism and I think he could do well (and even better) in the NBA versus college.  Full disclosure, I have been a UNC fan for over 30 years. 

The last time we picked a guy from a school I follow in the second (Powe), we also did well.

[D.o.s.]

We don't have one this year -- we traded it in pursuit of The Knockout.

I like it. Although, leaving off the definite article sounds cooler to me, for some reason. Just "Knockout".

All he needs is a buzzcut and a neck tattoo this offseason, and the transformation will be complete.

Embiid hasn't technically declared left but I'd be shocked if he stayed. Jabari I'd say is 50/50

James McAdoo = James Singleton

I don't have a lot of faith in McAdoo as a draft pick.   Very unimpressed .

I'm a Carolina fan too, and it's made me biased against McAdoo 

He did become a lot more consistent and effective in the clutch this year though.

I can understand that.  And if you look at the message Carolina boards today, there seem to be a decent percentage basically saying good riddance.  Quite unbelievable if you ask me but that is them.  JMM's biggest  issue in terms of skill is that he lacks touch as a shooter.  A significant flaw indeed, and what makes him a second pick. 

But offensively, the kid has an explosive first step and can get by most people his size.  The problem in the college game is that the lane is so congested that he can rarely show off that skill.  I think in the nba, he will be a still.  Am I biased?  Perhaps.  But I see potential and would love to see us find a way to grab him.

I agree, and I've been seeing Carolina fans saying the same thing.  The potential's always been there, but I was really sour on McAdoo last season because he seemed to constantly be forcing bad shots and making mental mistakes.  He cleaned that up a lot this year to his credit.  Hope he can stick in the league but he'll need to keep up the positive development to have much of a shot.

Love this kid. Hope he makes it. (Obryant). Hopefully he's not related to Patrick. Grab him with a second rounder danny, go buy one!
