NBA Draft Predictions

I like Smart under 7, word is Utah is showing interest in him at 5, and if he's there at 6, the Celtics are interested as well. Also, if the Celtics end up trading Rondo, then it would be even more likely he doesn't get past number 6

Haven't made any bets yet, but thinking of going:

Randle Under 7 -120 (he's the 2nd best big man in the draft behind Embid imo....I don't consider Jabari a big)

Exum Over 3.5 +170 (Parker and Wiggins will be the top 2 picks, is Philly really going to take another PG after taking MCW last year? Only way I see Exum going top 3 is if a trade is made by any of the teams in the top 3).

Embid Under 5 -145 (all this talk about him slipping. In the end, teams will be to chicken to pass on this kind of talent. I would not want to be the guy who passes on a future HOF'er.)

KRIT, exum went from +145 to +170 on 5d. does that worry you at all? I agree, I dont see philly taking a PG at 3

gonna take a shot at Parker #1 +230, he's more nba ready than wiggins is.

I agree with this. After drafting Bennett first overall last year, they need a guy who can start from day one. Wiggins has more upside, but the Cavs can't afford to take him. They need someone who is ready right now, and that's Parker.

I don't know....it's a bit weird. I think it's worth a shot though. I'm basically getting +170 that Philly won't take him at #3.
