Goal for 2014 Monster Draft? (more about roster than Draft)

The name you're searching for is Josh Selby. Most athletic player of his class, he was a darkhorse who unseated Harrison Barnes, Brandon Knight, and Austin Rivers to take the top spot on Rivals for his year. He played one year as an afterthought in Kansas and left for the NBA too early. He flashed some improving skills on Memphis after he was drafted, but it was too little too late, and pretty much the book on him has been written. The best player from that class turned out to be the darkhorse PG flying up the charts late in the season, Kyrie Irving.

So if you're question is, might Andrew Wiggins pull a Josh Selby and disappoint in his only year in Kansas? Or not even flame out as bad as Selby, but simply fall into the late single-digits like Ben McLemore? My answer for you is, unequivocally no. Just no. There's no way. Perish the thought.

 

Yeah Rockets will problaby end up with their own 27 pick based on where they problaby end up with a 2nd seed record in the West and around the 4 best record overall. Knicks pick will be a top 50 pick ONLY at best because the East is so weak. So the Rockets barring a trsde are basically looking at maybe just 1 player who will contribute on next year's team from this liaded draft via the late 1st rd. Good news is that this draft is crazy deep thru the 1st rd so the Rockets should problaby get a player who can start for them in the future and that has upside.

 

Seeing how young the Rockets team is overall and how the Rockets have Canaan and Covington maybe being rotational players a year from now having just 2 picks for next year's draft the Rockets are in great shape overall plus Morey still and will have assets to trade if he wants to. No need for the Rockets to aquire another 2 rd pick and Morey has enough assets to do what he wants.

 

My pick for 2014:


Rasheed Sulaimon aka "Mr. Intangibles"

Currently mocked at #27 on DX. Don't be surprised when he moves up.

 

James McAdoo sounds like a 4 that would fit the Rockets good.

 

Dante Exum will be top 3 best player in the draft

 

Then there is no need in us paying any attention to him.

 

Just because this year's draft is once a generation draft I wouldn't mind getting another 2 rd pick for Greg Smith... Unlike 2013 draft 2014 has EPIC written all over. 4 pontential Superstars in Wiggins,Randle,Parker,and Exum... Exum's first step and drive game reminds me of MJ. Sulamion sounds like a good prospect and so does Isiah Austin in talk about a stretch 4.

 

This is a kid who can be in 20's because of how deep it is but this kid has alot of talent.

 

Kuran and AI aren't brothers...they are second cousins that met once..

 

Not unsual there are second cousins I nevet met.

 

My goal is to have the 30th pick

 

How do half these ppl get to post on here kuran might as well not be related to ai and hes definitely not his brother

 

Im with you I want to have best record in the NBA and win a championship then draft an unknown late in the first rd. Anyways there is not much difference in a loaded draft like these whethere you draft 25 or 30 for that matter. Is all about your scouting department and GM making the smart choice.

 

does anyone think a team would be dumb enough to accept say pick 25 (our first round pick) for the 31st pick in the draft just so we can offer the 31st pick a non guaranteed deal on less salary?

 

We need a perimeter defender badly on this roster
