Out of the top 10 lottery picks who do you see being a bust
Posted on 6/27/14 at 2:07 am
Posted on 6/27/14 at 2:07 am
1. Cleveland Cavaliers: Andrew Wiggins, G/F, Kansas
2. Milwaukee Bucks: Jabari Parker, F, Duke
3. Philadelphia 76ers: Joel Embiid, C, Kansas
4. Orlando Magic: Aaron Gordon, F, Arizona
5. Utah Jazz: Dante Exum, PG, Australia
6. Boston Celtics: Marcus Smart, PG, Oklahoma State
7. Los Angeles Lakers: Julius Randle, PF, Kentucky
8. Sacramento Kings: Nik Stauskus, G/F, Michigan
9. Charlotte Hornets: Noah Vonleh, PF, Indiana
10. Orlando Magic: Elfrid Payton, PG, Louisiana Lafayette
I could see Smart to Celts end up not being what some predict.
My 2 "semi" sleepers considering they aren't sleepers being a top 10 pick but surprising some people are 8)Staiskus, Michigan and 10) Elfrid, bbbbitch I'm from Louisiana

Gordon, no reason just my guess

Gordon
Embiid because of injury concerns

I wouldn't be shocked if Embiid goes the way of Greg Oden. We've seen that shite too often.
Also wouldn't be shocked if Wiggins doesn't live up to the all-world hype he had before the college season. Admittedly that's died down at this point. He has the potential if he finds the gear, but at this point I'm jaded with all things hype related.
I don't think this draft has a superstar. Just solid players that maybe log a few All-Star appearances.
I hope I'm wrong. This draft has a high floor, low ceiling. But I don't know shite.

Gordon and Exum- don't know much about them
Embiid- just don't see it playing out well

Exum has the Brandon Jennings feel for sure. Who knows?
Posted on 6/27/14 at 2:20 am to SuperSaint
I think Wiggins will bust.
I wouldn't be surprised if Smart and/or Randle end up having the best careers out of the top 10

I agree on Noah but still think wiggins has the greatest upside.
He could be a transcendent type player like a durrant Lebron type superstar.... But has to put it all
Together and have a good coach he is with for years and have that drive to be the greatest ever

Will randle be able to develop the jumper like Bosh and all the successful big men in the game today or only play with his back

Exum is a stud. If he would have went and played college ball he would be held in the same regard that Wiggins and Parker are. He's that good.
Potential busts: Gordon, Embiid
Overhyped: Wiggins, Randle, Stauskua. Think all will be solid, but not as good as people are making them out to be. Especially Wiggins. Really worried about his half court offensive game in the nba.
Under hyped: Payton, Noah, Smart, Exum.

Not saying Exum won't be good but he's not underhyped. He's basically all hype, people definitely aren't going off ample knowledge of his game.
Vonleh has biggest bust potential to me. Embiid if he's hurt all the time.

It just scares me how much he has been protected. He played against poor competition in Australia and didn't workout against any other players before the draft.

Seriously this. Total gamble. Could be great. Could be a bust. Could be a starter. Nobody knows. Nice measurables.
Brandon fricking Jennings.

Embiid if he can't get/stay healthy.
Though if he does, it's 28 and 15 all day every day.

Depends on how they handle him. If he develops a jumper, then watch out. He has all the physical ability in the world though, for sure.

Un-fricking-real.
Has anyone ever done that? Or close to it? I dunno how to internet so good so I can't search. But that seems absurd. Plus Embiid isn't that refined.

Rondo gonna be maaaadddddddd. Best case scenario he fills that hole after they deal him. They're pretty similar insofar as skills go. But I think Smart is longer? Thus maybe a better defender? I think I've heard that but I give no shits about fact checking right now.

I wasn't serious.
I was making a joke in reference to how Shaq always wants today's big men to go average 28 and 15.
