Love the draftexpress scouting vids. Though sometimes I find myself looking at the strengths section of a guy I haven't watched much and thinking ...damn this guy is going to be great, then the weaknesses come and I'm like..man this guy sucks, his game won't translate AT ALL

I usually go and find other scouting reports if I'm intrigued by the guy I watch, just to see. I also mark down games that the play in so I can watch them in live action.Last edited by isaacthompson; Mon Mar 3, 2014, 03:23 PM.Twitter - @thekid_it

How bout that 7'2" centre from Calgary? Jordan something... He could be a decent legit backup centre to JV. NBADraftnet.net has him late 2nd round.
Yeah it would be a nice boost to have a Cdn on Canada's ball team. He could have an impact like Brett Lawrie too in terms of fan base. Cant believe the only Cdn to ever dress as a Rap was the ancient Jamaal Fuckin' Magloire, lol. I really want Ennis, though. I thought he could maybe replace Lowry if he were to leave, but that's unlikely as he's killing it for 'Cuse atm and his value is really high.

Wiggins is soooooo smooth. Makes it look easy. Very much playing the team game, not trying to be a star.Heir, Prince of Cambridge
If you see KeonClark in the wasteland, please share your food and water with him.

Heh, if he is in the D-league still in a few years I will be surprised.
He's terrible."

Can't stand watching the KU offense. You have these supremely talented guys and they just toss the ball around the perimeter for the first 10-15 seconds of the possessions with very little player movement. Not sure if I even saw them run one single play for Wiggins in the first half of KU-OK game. And one thing that is underrated about Wiggins is his post game, which hasn't had any opportunity to develop under Self. It's almost a surprise that Wiggins can average 16+ PPG. I think Wiggins could be similar to the Drummond-UCONN situation, where it was just a bad fit between player, coach and system. Sometimes you get these hotshot NCAA coaches, who are successful because they can take mediocre talent and integrate them into a system that is greater than the sum. But sometimes that can backfire because that same system doesn't give the elite talent an opportunity to flourish. Similar thing happened with Vince Carter at UNC, and is a reason why he fell to the Raps in the draft.Last edited by golden; Mon Mar 3, 2014, 03:32 PM.

Selden is extremely unselfish by nature though, and Wiggins has long been described as a passive player, so it could be a combination of Self's system and their tendencies as players.
I really rate Selden. The raps have more pressing needs, but if they ended up getting him, I'd be very happy. He's a really good passer, nice shooting stroke, strong body, high IQ. I think he'll be a very solid pro.
