That's your thread. It is not crazy, it's just your blasting of KJ based on ONE 1v1 workout. Your obsession is weird on a topic that is near irrelevant.

No way the Jazz trade Exum if they have a chance at him at #5. If Philly wants Exum they'll have to take him at #3, then attempt to trade MCW plus #10 plus another pick to Orlando to get Wiggins.

Being an IU guy I watched him all season long. I liked how he rebounded the ball, solid passer, decent face up game and can play with his back to the basket, as well. Will work hard to improve his game. Things I didn't like: Needs to play bigger, needed to be more consistent all around, shrunk some in big moments against top level competition. Not as athletic or quick as I would have liked to see. NV has a very solid skill set, but needs to improve on all of them. He will either be pretty darn good or the bigger more athletic bigs will eat him up. I'd take a look at him anywhere between 4-7.
The hype is unwarranted, he lacks explosion. He will struggle against the long and quick bigs in the league. I see him as a better Patrick Patterson at best.

Noel-Embiid frontline would be the Twin Towers reborn. Just get Noel to shoot 1,000 elbow jumpers a day this offseason, and you'll be golden.
