There were a few surprises if you want to call them that as Cleveland took who they should have taken in Andrew Wiggins. Jabari Parker goes where he wanted to go all along to the Bucks as only thing bigger in Milwaukee now is the NL Central Leading "Piwowarzy" dba Brew Crew. Cameroon's Joel Embiid heads to Philly as the last "Big" that had promise skipped town before he played. Gordon joins the Mouse Town Magic as He and Jabari were the most-skilled of the Lottery Picks. Let's take a closer look as the 2014 NBA Drat Lottery Picks.
2014 NBA Draft Recap "Lottery Picks" Only:
1. #Believeland Andrew Wiggins #KU: They get their man now I can't wait to see how the Cavs work him in with Kyrie and Dion as they are Think-Pass First Players!
2. #FearTheDeer Jabari Parker #Duke: You saw it with the Jordan Pin on the tie and the rest is history "Become Legendary"...Knight Rider, Colonel Sanders, Giannis, and Mr. Henson...Bottom Feeders no more!
3. #BroadStreetPhillyHoops Joel Embiid #KU: So Kansas goes 1 and 3 and then what. Embiid if he can remain healthy will be a Load but let the Kid be Joel and stay away from them "Dream Shake" Comparisons Sixer Heads before expectations are a dream!
4. #MouseTownMagic Aaron Gordon #UofATuscon: He and Lakers Lottery Pick have the same motor but two entirely different tool sets. Gordon potential right off the bat to be a 10ppg 8 rpg 5 apg and 3 stls per is possible given the minutes. The Magic are scary with Oladipo, Harkless, Tobias Harris, and now Gordon to go with Nikola Vucevic...Magic > Magic Kingdom in late 2014 to early to mid 2015!
5. #SaltPalaceJazz Dante Exum #Austrailia: We have not seen much of the kid but now he is front and center and what do the Jazz now do with Alec Burks?
6. #GreenTeam Marcus Smart #StillwaterCowboys: Some forgot about him as he was an easy Top 3 Pick ion 2013 if he would have came out. Remember He and the Bulls Doug "McBuckets" McDermott were the only two Collegiate Players in Vegas in 2013 on the US Select Team...which means absolutely nothing looking at it now but was something back then!
7. #LakerGang Julius Randle #UK: His motor separates him from many but his lack of any low-post and face-up game brings him back to the pack. He will need work but he should love playing in L.A. and out on the Wing with the Black Mamba...and yes passing him the Spalding Orange...the New Black Mamba!
8. #ForeverPurple Nik Stauskas #UMAnnArbor: He is a Big Guard who can shoot it but will surprise you as he will hit the Phone Booth and come out taking the elevator! I like this pick considering the Kings have a lot of bodies at the 3-4-5 as Stauskas reminds me of former Gator now Grizz Sniper Mike Miller...a little as young M&M Plain Miller a legit 6-9 with a Guard-Like Game was ridiculous!
9. #HiveDriveIsAlive Noah Vonleh #HoosierHysteria: He is a monster at 6-10 around 240 el bees with a 7-4 Wingspan and mitts like Kawhi "Super Hands" Leonard. He is a still at #9 considering what Cho and Jordan did at #24 and #26 drafting Shabazz Napier and sending him to Miami as the Heat drafted P.J. Hairston...Hairston will be All-NBA Rookie and remember I said that!
10. #SeventySixers Elfrid Payton #ULLRajunCajuns: He can play but we will see as he gets sent to the Orlando Magic to join Oladipo and Company....#OMagicHasAthletes!
11. #MileHighNuggets Doug McDermott #Creighton: "McBuckets" was getting some love on Twitter especially after the Nugs send him to Chicago for Picks 16 and 19 and then all I heard was clearing Cap Space for Melo Anthony! Has anyone one of you talked to Mel and La La and are the coming for sure? Both Picks for that...Gar n Pax the Dynamic Fools!
12. #OMagic Dario Saric #Croatia: He gets sent to Philly for Payton and he has a Two-Year Agreement to play for a Team in Turkey before coming to play for the Sixers...real talk!
13. #10KLakesHoops Zach Lavine #WestwoodUHoops: Ok he is an Athlete as they throw that around like the Logo is the Decathlon. He is going to play behind K-Mart and "La Pistola" and then Lavine plays the Shooting Guard or is he a Combo or a Wild Card? Way too high for Lavine...
14. #PHXHoops T.J. Warren #WolfPackGangACC: He might be the purest "Get Buckets" Baller in the 1st round real talk. He is silky-smooth with nice size and not a freakish athlete but a Basketball Players that has a noise for filling it up. Excellent pick for the Suns who are really loaded at every position on the hardwood...#4 or #5 in the West in 2014-15.
