    Only problem is that until the Chicago combines, you can't tell for sure how tall anyone is. 6' 9" becomes 6" 7.5" without shoes and so on.
    It's a good thing nobody plays basketball barefoot

    • That [Parker] kid is amazing," Durant said. "I think he is the best player in the country. Him and Wiggins are like '1A' and '1B.' Those guys are going to do the one-and-done thing, do it early. They are going to do really well in college and lead their teams to, I think, the Final Four. That's kind of like, 'Close your eyes and pick one.' You're good with either one of those guys.

      "I love Jabari's game. He's so skilled. He has it all right now. Wiggins is on another level with God-given ability. You look at him, you can tell he's going to be really big and fill out a lot. He's really athletic."

      Now imagine having one of those two players, JV, another top pick in 2015, enough cap space to go after another top free agent in '15, and Drake egging him to Toronto in '16 during all-star weekend after his relationship with Westbrook finally blows up and he tires of owners refusing to spend in to the luxury tax.

        A nice Marcus Smart pic of his 9 steals in the last game. All from different spots/situations.

        I freakin love this kid's D. I keep wondering if he's the best defensive guard prospect since Payton. He's big, relentless, can guard both guard spots, seems to have a knack for getting his hands on the ball...Want him pretty badly.

          Randle's height kinda worries me.. I don't know what his wingspan is however, that could make a difference. You just don't see many star big's that are under 6'10

              But he is really 6'9" barefoot with a 7'4.5" wingspan.

                With that wingspan he could be 6'9 with shoes and still be a beast

                      Biyombo has zero offensive game and even his defense is average, he just has long arms so he can block shots. I remember someone here saying that Biyombo is the next Ben Wallace and that he will be better than JV hahaha

                          I did indeed get the sarcasm. I just felt like ripping on Biyombo for the hell of it

                            • Seems that the early season performances have only caused more confusion among NBA GMs:

                              Yet as fun and memorable a night as it was for fans and NBA executives alike, one general manager who asked for anonymity because league rules prevent him from talking about prospects likely spoke for the masses when he told USA TODAY Sports, "To be honest, I think (Tuesday) night muddied the waters even more."

                              The beauty of this draft, though, is that it's expected to be so good that any team in the top 10 should be fine even if those waters don't clear up between now and June. That was the overlooked aspect of Tuesday night's event, the fact that — as much as Randle, Parker and Wiggins "opened up the imagination," as one executive put it — they aren't alone when it comes to top-tier talent coming out of the college game. To wit, a second general manager shared his personal top-five list as it currently stands after the Champions Classic and listed Randle fifth behind Wiggins, Parker, Australian combo guard Dante Exum and Arizona freshman forward Aaron Gordon.

                              • At this point we're still sitting 2nd in the Atlantic... My main concern is that we'll accidentally win the division, making the playoffs despite having a bottom-5 record in the east.
