Everyone is excited  about the Celts getting a top 5 pick. I like the idea, but I can't help but think that these players are overrated.  Sure they are very good, but do you see a Kevin
Durant or even a Kyrie Irving in the group. Everyone was on the Wiggins train and now they are all over Parker. These guys don't look like team changers to me.  What do you think?

I've seen a few games and Nobody seems Dominating....

LEN BIAS would absolutely KILL all these Collegians, if he were in school now.
Larry Bird was Greater than you think.

Jabari parker is the real deal. He's been followed since he was 14 and now she's beating college teams single handedly.

Like all drafts, u going to have ur busts, ur hits, and even a player that's pick late who may be a star..But saying this may be one of the best drafts ever, I just don't see it..only time will tell
C/PF-Horford, Baynes, Noel, Theis, Morris,
SF/SG- Tatum, Brown, Hayward, Smart, Semi, Clark
PG- Irving, Rozier, Larkin

I remember at times last year some people were speculating the next KD or James was in this draft. Or that there was more than one franchise player. And frankly, I'm not sure a player as good as  the Brow is in this draft.

I see wiggins being an elite defender n athletic. I see a lot of Jeff Green in em. Offensively

I see Parker as Melo without the ego.

I see Embiid as Al Jefferson with potential to be an elite defender

I see Julius randle being like Thaddeus Young maybe even Bennett from Clevelabd

Exum no clue

Caulie stein like Tyson chandler

Everyone should be excited to get Parker wiggins or Embiid

Al Jefferson with elite defence sounds terribly good.

I see Wiggins in a TMac mould, just needs to harness his athleticism.

Parker somewhere between Pierce and Melo.

Julius Randle I see as a bit like Thad Young as well, just more powerful.

Exum I see as Penny Hardaway but quicker off the first step.

  • You ain't the boss of the freakin' bedclothes.
Everyone said the 2013 Draft was the worst one in 20 years. Then people said it was underrated. Then people said it was overrated.

The 2014 class is really, really good , it looks deep as hell, with multiple players in the early first having a decent shot at getting an all-star berth at some point. I dunno if that makes it overrated or underrated but that's what it is.

like that is always lethal." - Evan 'The God' Turner
