I wouldn't say overrated. Not as good as once advertised, but still, I think this will be the best draft since the 08 one - there will still be a lot of star power.

Anyway, nothing really much has changed. The top prospects in this draft(Wiggins, Embiid, Parker, Exum, Randle, Smart) are all going to be studs IMO.
Since conference play started Parker and Randle have struggled. I think Parker 3-11 tonight. His been

many 'experts' expected that Jabari will struggle in Duke. I'm pretty sure he'll be just fine tho. He's a great kid, but what will happen if he decides to go on a mission? :sLast edited by rocwell; Tue Jan 14, 2014, 01:17 AM.

Also, I still want to see a game where Embiid plays well and he doesn't vastly outmatch his matchup in talent. All the good games I've seen from him have been against guys who are embarrassingly bad basketball talents for the C position. Smaller, slower, sometimes fat, low-skill, no athleticism....I want to at least see him play some close to decent competition before I'll get too excited about him.

Really good game from Wiggins though -- he nearly had that double double at halftime. A bit of a shame that Kane was playing the 2 for ISU instead of at point, but he was decent. That's two games in a row where Embiid let the opposition's big get under his skin. 2 solid games in a row for Wiggins, and finally driving for contact. It's crazy that he's trying to do so much development in a year.
Looks like Ennis had a rough game today, anyone watch it? Also, Parker struggled anyone watch that one?

Seems pretty solid. Right around his averages. He needs to keep working on his scoring, especially his finishing ability when he's penetrating. Jumper is solid and decision-making is great. D is underrated too.

Should've kept watching. Embiid was the difference between the two teams. Amazing stretch in the second half, swatting shots and dominating inside. He had a height advantage but that footwork and touch is really impressive. Defensively he was out covering guards on the perimeter swatting 3 point shots, scouts would've been drooling over him in this game.
Wiggins with 19 boards which is seriously impressive. His offensive game still does nothing for me though.Last edited by BigCamB; Tue Jan 14, 2014, 03:10 AM.

The more I watch Wiggins the more I like his game...and the more I don't think he's a trans-formative superstar. But what team wouldn't want Iggy or Paul George? He might not be able to carry a team, but he might make the players around him better.
A part of me hopes Embiid stays another year. Going to a bad team probably will not help his development. And I wonder if some of his fouls are tied to maturity issues...Probably a reach, but he could use more time with the Kansas staff.
