Any relation to Marc?

14. Phoenix Suns: Doug McDermott, Creighton, SF, 6-8, 218, Sr. – The Suns want to add shooting and missed out on Stauskas, but can add another talented shooter in McDermott.

Would we even select McDermott after not bringing him in?

Anyone catch this Rodney Hood article on Grantland: http://grantland.com/the-triangle/rodne ... raft-2014/

Still unsure as to why people are high on Hood, i just dont see it.

Agreed. I think he's going to have a lot of trouble defensively at the next level. His disappearing act vs mercer where he looked petrified didn't help matters.

Regardless, seems like a nice kid....hopefully he proves me wrong.

The draft game post is going up tomorrow. Side bets are encouraged. I expect everyone to play this year, not just the 5 that usually do. I have a ban hammer & I'm not afraid to use it!

I will not win the game.

Sports Illustrated has an interesting article with scouts (anonymously) talking about prospects for the draft.

Excellent read Glad, thanks for posting.

Seems like the two guys they are most high on linked to Phoenix are Stauskas and Warren. Had some nice things to say about Lavine as well

I think I would give #27 for Shumpert and have our 4 man guard rotation pretty much locked for the foreseeable future.

I'm on board. Let's proceed to th physicals exam. Shump's value is rock bottom, time to buy.

You guys should check this out:

The Kings are crowd sourcing the analytics for their 2014 draft.

That seems lazy to me.

Seems interesting to me. A way to get a lot of perspectives on something.

I dont know, I think thats why you pay scouts.



Yikes 1000 posts, I need a new hobby.

Obviously they have all that information too. Yeah, 250 more posts than me and I registered an hour and 20 minutes before you did. What the deuce?

It is weird move. In theory it gets your fans closer and involved, which is great, but what if they had a somewhat consensus about the 2-3 guys they want and the team actually goes in a totally different direction? Would be akward, and if the guy they select ended up a clearly worse rookie you look like a clueless moron.

@AlexKennedyNBA: NBA draft rumor: Multiple league sources believe that Zach LaVine has a promise from the Minnesota Timberwolves at No. 13.

Noooo!

No. 1 - Andrew Wiggins

No. 2 - Jabari Parker, which is apparently where he wanted to go (why???)

Close to home
