BIZORT posted:Wasn't Saric rumored to be coming over in the 2012 and 2013 drafts before pulling out? It sounds like another Fran Vazquez situation. "Go ahead and draft me if you want but I'm doing just fine over here" He would have been too young in 2012 but yeah he was expected to declare last year and didn't.

If he pulls out again he might as well not even bother flirting with declaring again because no one will draft him until after he's automatically entered

Didn't he pull out last year because he couldn't get a guarantee in the lottery or something?

How many times did Motiejunas pull out of the draft? I guess it was probably 2-3 times. And then he turned out real bad! e: Now I'm looking through his draftexpress page quote:it's not a stretch to say that the 7-foot Lithuanian has blossomed into one of the best scoring big men in all of European basketball at the tender age of 20, and likely the most skilled power forward/center in the draft. Offensively, it's getting easier and easier to see where the comparisons with Pau Gasol are coming from. Good times chunkles fucked around with this message at 21:16 on May 30, 2014 |

There's a bunch of player comp names that I don't recognize. The guy on TheSportsBank has been pretty accurate over the past few years, so that's my go-to mock draft. I like Spencer Dinwiddie in the 2nd round. Apart from a great mustache and name (and a torn ACL) is there anything else I should know about him ?

The Bucks taking Wiggins will be awesome, that team will have so few basketball skills. Imagine the Brandon Knight, Wiggins, Giannis, Larry Sanders, Henson unit. Wowwweeee, I want to be a Bucks fan. If Dumars gets the Pelicans job I'll have to root for three teams. Cleveland's GM told a local writer that "JABARI HAS BEEN ON THE TOP OF OUR BOARD ALL YEAR LONG."

I thought he was pretty skilled at alot of things, and the athleticism puts him over the top.

He's not a great dribbler, he's not a great passer, he's only sometimes a shooter. He'll probably learn everything, but it's going to be fun to see him like the shaky baby horse his first time around.

I do not understand how people like Redd manage to shoot accurately, let alone be one of the league's best scorer for 6 years in a row. How does that shooting mechanic even work.

Rick posted:Are these interviews to be taken seriously? Cuz the Lakers seem to be working out and interviewing just about everyone, including Gordon. It's usually just teams doing due diligence and checking out anyone who might be available around the team's spot. After Gerald Wallace, Petrie vowed to never draft a player he never had a chance to interview/workout. He later broke this rule by drafting Thomas Robinson...drat it Petrie why couldn't you stick to your guns. What is interesting is when teams work out players mocked way below their current pick, making you wonder if they are thinking of trading down or picking up someone else's pick

Also, even if a team is 100% on who they want, they take the opportunity to talk to guys and get a sense for how other teams are acting and just to get a sense of who the other players are in this draft class. Also, like WhyteRyce mentioned, you never know who might offer you a deal and if you know players already you can make the best call.
